Photo print calculator
We print large-format photos on ultra-clear tempered glass.
Minimum size: 200 × 300 mm.
Smaller than the minimum of 200 × 300 mm – the price is calculated for the minimum size.
The price is an estimate based on the selected parameters. Transport costs are not included in the calculation.
All glass plaques are made to order, to the dimensions supplied by the stonemason.

Technology and durability
Weather-resistant photo
We make headstone photos using kiln-fired ceramic printing. Ceramic pigments are applied to the surface of the glass and fixed at a high temperature – during firing they bond permanently with the glass, so the photograph keeps its colours for many years.
- UV rays
- Rain
- Frost
- Moisture
Memorial photos are made on tempered Optiwhite glass, in a single-layer or two-layer (laminated) version. The smooth glass surface gives the photograph depth and reproduces fine detail faithfully, so the portrait looks natural and elegant. We print in colour and in black and white.
- 1 layer Thickness: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm
- 2 laminated layers Thickness: 4+4, 5+5, 6+6, 8+8, 10+10 or 12+12 mm
