Fractures - printing on glass; has anyone tried this?

[zombiesniper]

Yup just read through the terms.
Basically they guarantee they will print something on glass and ship it. If anything goes wrong with colour, your fault. Broken, your responsibility.
I wonder if these guys are a government agency ? lol

it seems like you're licensing usage to them of your photos for their promotional use.

Yep, from now til doomsday, or they go out of business, whichever comes first! lol And it includes any other site affiliated with Fractures (like the one that is in the Netherlands or UK or wherever?). At least it says they won't resell for commercial use anyway, without permission. Nice of 'em! lol they should be licensing photos from the photographer - and paying or compensating the photographer - for usage for marketing purposes (for business/commercial use to promote their business).

Kind of makes you wish you could send them media that would self destruct after so many days

Allllllllll-righty. Won't be shopping with them any time soon!

Smokey, that'd put a whole new meaning to the term glass blowing.

 

[vintagesnaps]

I wonder how much different it looks from a photo behind glass, being printed on the back of the glass? With these things I suppose getting the smallest sized one just to try it would be a way to see how it turns out. Too bad it isn't possible to see one first in a shop, online it's hard to tell sometimes what you'd get or who you're dealing with. If there are red flags, I'd be reluctant on it but that's me I guess.

Well, in their defense, they can change the terms at any time without notifying you, so they could just change it to avoid needing your permission, right?

 

[vintagesnaps]

Yep.

This company might be legit, I just have to wonder why they're hooked up with another company who is from someplace other than they seem to be at first look. (The giveaway was to keep putting a + in front of their phone number which seemed to have a NY area code - red flag that they aren't actually a US company.)

While not necessarily the same, many years ago, a young lady/artist did a caricature of our oldest daughter on the "back side" of glass. I remember it did add a certain "depth" to the image.

here's a cheaper investment over glass: Acrylic Prints | Prints On Acrylic

I've used this place a few times to buy frames, I had them print some 20x24 image and frame it for me cause I was lazy and I wasn't overall happy with the print -- ill probably redo it in real paper.
