← Back to How do you make a 3D resin floor?


Choosing the right type of image is a critical part of creating a successful 3D resin floor. The image sets the tone for your entire space and must be both visually striking and durable enough to last beneath layers of resin.
Image Quality and Resolution
To achieve a crisp and impactful 3D effect, always select a high-resolution image that can be scaled to the exact size of your floor without pixelation. The finer the detail, the more convincing the final visual will appear. If in doubt, consult with a professional print shop about minimum resolution requirements for large-format printing.


Material and Printing Requirements
Standard paper prints rarely hold up under resin. Instead, have your chosen image printed on waterproof, resin-compatible media—such as vinyl or specialised photographic materials. This prevents colours from bleeding or fading when covered by resin. For floors that will see foot traffic and occasional cleaning, this durability is essential.
Fitting, Positioning, and Protection
Before application, trim and position your image to fit your floor precisely, ensuring edge-to-edge coverage with no exposed substrate. Secure the print flat to avoid air bubbles or wrinkles. For extra assurance, you can seal particularly delicate prints with a clear, compatible sealant before pouring the first resin layer. Using a quality clear resin like Trasparente Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin will help showcase the image below with a flawless, glass-like finish.

When This Matters
Using the correct image and print materials becomes especially important in busy areas or in spaces that require a long-lasting decorative finish, as mistakes at this stage can affect the entire look and durability of your 3D resin floor.
