Anyone ever print with Fracture?

[Mitchell]

Fracture is a company that prints directly on glass. Looks like an interesting product for the right type of print. A very clean look with no need for a frame.

I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with them before I place an order for a large print.

No, but if you do let us know how it turns out. Is it meant to be backlit, like translucent cibachrome?

They can do that, but it sounds like most of their prints are done right on the glass and then a backing used for mounting is applied.

I've had good luck with metal prints. I was just looking at this as a possible alternative.

If the process you describe is what I saw last year at an exhibition in the Smithsonian then it is stunning for the right type image.

Here is the image. It's a gift for my wife's birthday. I think the colors on my wife's top are vibrant enough to "pop" in this processing. I've done metal for this and like it, but I'm wondering if the glass might be even better.

Did you ever try Fracture? Anybody else? It looks good to me, except they clearly state that the prints are not archival. I'm thinking of putting these particular pictures in my kitchen, which has lots of ambient, but not direct, light. Not sure what to expect.

That photo looks familiar.
