For collectors who want the absolute best surface quality in an acrylic print, I offer an upgraded option using TruLife® acrylic glass. This premium material is designed to reduce reflections, increase contrast, and provide the clearest possible viewing experience.

TruLife acrylic takes everything that makes standard acrylic prints so compelling—depth, clarity, and presence—and refines it even further.

What Is TruLife Acrylic?

TruLife is a specialized acrylic surface engineered to reduce reflections, improve contrast and maintain exceptional clarity. The biggest factor with TruLife is that it performs well in challenging lighting environments. Unlike standard acrylic, TruLife uses an advanced optical coating that minimize glare and preserving the depth and richness that acrylic prints are known for.

Is TruLife better than standard acrylic?

TruLife is an upgraded acrylic surface designed to reduce reflections and enhance contrast. Standard acrylic already offers excellent depth and clarity, while TruLife is ideal for collectors seeking the highest level of surface performance.

Why Choose TruLife?

While standard acrylic already offers outstanding depth and color, TruLife is designed for the collector who wants only the highest level of surface performance on their print.

TruLife is especially beneficial in a number of settings:

  • In bright rooms with large windows
  • Spaces with overhead or directional lighting
  • Areas where reflections may be distracting
  • High-end residential or corporate installations

The reduced reflections allow the image itself to remain the focus, even in more complex lighting conditions.

Do TruLife prints come ready to hang?

Yes. TruLife acrylic prints use the same mounting system as standard acrylic prints and arrive fully assembled and ready to hang.

The Visual Difference

With TruLife acrylic, you’ll notice deeper perceived contrast, reduced surface glare, clearer shadow detail and a more refined, museum-quality appearance. The effect is subtle but meaningful, especially on larger pieces or in rooms with significant ambient light.

Is TruLife worth the upgrade?

TruLife is most beneficial in bright rooms or spaces with complex lighting. If reflections are a concern or the piece will be a major focal point, many collectors find the upgrade worthwhile.

Available as an Upgrade

TruLife acrylic is offered as an upgrade to standard acrylic prints. The underlying print, mounting process and overall presentation remain the same. The difference lies in the optical properties of the acrylic surface itself. This upgrade is most often selected for large statement pieces, high-visibility installations, rooms that have challenging lighting and collectors who are just seeking the very best available presentation possible for their high-end artwork.

Because TruLife is a premium material, it is offered by request rather than as the default option, but is chosen by probably half of those that purchase large acrylic pieces.

Is TruLife available on all images?

Yes, all of my images are available as TruLife acrylic fine art prints.

Is TruLife Right for Your Space?

If you’re unsure whether standard acrylic or TruLife is the better choice, I’m always happy to help. In many spaces, standard acrylic performs beautifully. TruLife becomes most valuable when reflections are a concern, lighting conditions are less controllable or the piece will be a major focal point.
