The print quality could use a bit of adjustment to be gallery worthy, but that is really not what this printing method is for. It is also an inexpensive way to hang a beautiful image on a wall without worrying about a frame. I think it is a clever way to print a photograph. I like what Fracture is doing here with their prints. While it does take a bit of work to get it lined up properly, it is a huge improvement over the grommet method shown above. It also leaves you with a sense of satisfaction knowing the print is securely hung on the wall. It is now made of metal and is much easier to attach to the wall. The new hanging method for larger prints looks much like the hanging method for the smaller print depicted above. Here is the new hanging method for larger prints… it is a HUGE improvement! Turns out I was one of the lucky ones to get one of the remaining few. Below is a dissection of the issue I am discussing.Īfter writing this review I was informed by the company that the grommet method is the old hanging method. The problem arose with the print simply resting on the screw and not being locked in place. Luckily, I had some fast hands and was able to grab it. I drilled the supplied screw into the wall, placed the image on the wall via the grommet and it nearly fell to the ground. At first glance it looks stable enough, however there is not enough of a bevel in the grommet to safely hold the screw.
It did not have a pre-dug hole but a piece of foam core with a grommet attached. I was much more concerned with the hanging method for the large image. Or how many unlucky attempts you have at lining it up perfectly before the foam core hole is damaged. While this seems logical, I am curious as to how many times one could hang the piece before the foam core begins to erode away. Once in place, just slide the print down and the print is hung. It is a pre-dug out portion of the foam core that fits the head of the supplied screw. The small print came with a rather easy hanging method.

Definitely an added plus and a true benefit to ordering over $100 worth of prints.

I was pretty impressed with the packaging actually and was very curious how I received free shipping with the amount of care and material that went into the packaging. The inside was very reminiscent of Alcatraz so maybe that is why the words Fragile or Glass are not necessary. “Do Not Stack” and “Please Don’t Break This Box” are listed, but I think instinctively no one wants their boxes broken. However, I was quite surprised that the box did not say Fragile or Glass Inside. That definitely added to my anticipation. This one cleverly says, “Your Fracture Has Arrived”. When it arrived it was in a branded box, no different than many other printing companies. From the time I completed my cart transaction to the time it was on my front porch was about 7 days! That is pretty quick in terms of receiving a print without selecting expedited shipping. I was very pleased with the shipping speed and the packaging with Fracture. I ordered a large print (15.6 x 20.8)and a small print (4.8 x 6.4) with wall mounts so I could take a look at the mounting method and quality differences in the various size prints.
While I do understand aspect ratio as a photographer, this is great for casual shooters who have no idea what the words Aspect and Ratio together even mean. The sizes are a bit odd, but as I type this I just received a helpful email from them about Aspect Ratio. I think my upload to cart completion time was less than 5 minutes. When it came to the purchase and uploading process everything went very smoothly. The website was clearly built, designed and presented with the inquisitive customer in mind. That thought was quickly answered by the Sizing & Pricing Page. After watching the video and reading about them my next thought was pricing. My overall experience on the website was excellent! I first went there with the thought… “What the heck is a Fracture?” That was very quickly answered with the informative page “ What’s a Fracture?“. Their friendly customer service staff were very helpful and granted me two prints for further review. A Screenshot from the FractureMe website explaining the process.Īfter seeing this new printing method I had to have a look for myself. Here is a look at the process from their website. At Fracture they print your images directly onto glass. These interesting keepsake pieces are affectionately known as “Fractures” from a website called FractureMe. Recently, I have had the opportunity to look at another medium to print your images on, Glass. On EverydayHDR I have had the pleasure of reviewing almost every print option available from Metallic Prints, to prints directly on Aluminum and insanely large banners and canvases.
