Perspex prints, how and where to get it done

I have been advised by one of our very kind members to try to have some of the smoke images printed in perspex as a better option rather than normal paper. Does anyone know how best to go around this? I have briefly googled and found a few sites but they look extraordinarily expensive. Is that the only way to do it?

I am an absolutely newbie at this and I dont even know what this kind of print is. Might have seen it but never consciously looked at it or considered or checked it to know what it is. Part of it was because I had no reason to get to know or learn anything about it . But now as I get so engrossed in the photography world the more I dive in the more I want to learn. What a fascinating world .

Can anyone please shed some light on this or guide me through my first steps on this. Would definitely like to start using it and from what I have been told this must be the best medium for some of my smoke photography that I have been doing. Am thinking of diving deeper into this now and explore some more of the smoke art. Got some ideas cooking in that want to put in practice )

Thank you all

I recommend this lab: link

Have a look herelink.

David, thanks for the link, and checked the above also that gartmore put.

Just to have a clarification, is Acrylic that the site talks about the same as perspex?

clear plastic sheet, I think they print onto clear plastic film which is then bonded to the acrylic/perspex sheet. I've seen some very good high-key mono portraits presented this way on a white wall.

Policril, Plexiglas, Vitroflex, Limacryl, R-Cast, Per-Clax, Perspex, Plazcryl, Acrylex, Acrylite, Acrylplast, Altuglas, Polycast, Oroglass, Optix and Lucite are all the same (polymethyl methacrylate) and is commonly called acrylic glass, simply acrylic, perspex or plexiglas.

I didn't even knew this kind of printing, would be interesting though to look at some of them to see how they are.

Paul has recommended me to print some of those smoke images on this kind of medium, he says they really stand out printed here. Quite keen in trying it, looking on the websites seems very promising.
