    Posted by Jennifer Ross on May 6, 2026 at 10:56 am

    Hi, I am looking for affordable & good quality ACM panels, and wondering if anyone knows of good sources besides Artefex, which is very pricey! I just ordered some from Home Depot, the brand is Falken Design, does anyone know anything about this brand, pro or con, or could recommend another brand or source that ships or that is in NYC that I could pick up? Are the panels that Artefex uses better (or worse) quality than the brands available from hardware or sign supply stores? Any info appreciated!

    We recommend Artefex as a source of prepared ACM panels for painting and drawing: https://artefex.biz

    Local sign shops are usually a source of plan ACM panels that you can prepare by adhering canvas or applying an alkyd ground, such as Rublev Colours Lead or Titanium White Alkyd Grounds from Natural Pigments.
