But based on the specifications and the crucial criteria I’ve listed above, I’ve listed some models below to get you started. I still use an old art projector I bought years ago and don’t have the resources to test out the different LED projectors that are now available, because that would get quite costly. You can even buy ultra mini projectors that literally fit in the palm of your hand! For most models you’ll still need a tripod and possibly an extension cord, but many models come with carry cases and weigh no more than a few pounds. LED projectors are also very portable, especially given their brightness and clarity. Increased brightness also allows for bigger projections, which is perfect for muralists. Even the cheapest models can exceed 2,000 lumens! This means that you don't need a dark room to see a clear projection (although it can still help). LED projectors are also ideal because they provide fantastic brightness. Even cheaper projectors offer LEDs that will last for over 30,000 hours! LEDs last much longer than bulbs and require far less maintenance. You don’t need to worry about the display method, but I do recommend you get a projector that projects the light with LEDs rather than bulbs.
Therefore a cheap LED projector (around $80) should be fine for most artists. You’ll want a bright projection with sharp details, so you have to think about technical specifications like the display method (DLP vs LCS vs LCoS) and you can easily spend thousands of dollars!īut for the purposes of image transfer and enlargement, you often don’t require such clarity (unless perhaps you’re a Photorealist). These days people often buy digital projectors for watching films at home, and if that’s important to you in addition to enlarging images for art purposes, then your decision can get complicated and expensive.
