What Is A Metal Print?

A metal print is a wall art piece that has a clean, modern, industrial, high-definition look. Metal prints are printed on aluminum, with a white base coat that will make any color printed on the metal print more vivid. These show-stopping pieces are great for your home or as a gift to someone you love. Metal prints are resistant to fading, moisture, and scratching, which are perfect elements for a modern metal wall art print to be hung inside or outside your home.

Metal is a sleek, new art medium that boasts chic elegance. It’s the perfect way to display photos with a modern touch.

Images are infused onto the surface of .045” ChromaLuxe® aluminum that has been treated with a special dye sublimation coating. The transferring of ink onto the metal surface takes place under high temperature and pressure – creating a clear, crisp, vibrant, and durable print.

We offer 4 beautiful surface finishes with various hanging and display options.

All metal prints have ⅛” rounded corners.

METAL SURFACE OPTIONS

GLOSS

Our most popular surface option. High shine surface intensifies the color that creates an intense, bold look.

SEMI GLOSS

In-between Matte and Gloss. The glossy appearance is partially reduced without sacrificing color or intensity.

MATTE

Anti-glare surface option significantly reduces reflection. Color and intensity are softened. Ideal for display under harsh lighting conditions.

METALLIC

The only surface option that prints directly on aluminum without a white point. High gloss finish prints slightly darker with a shiny, metallic look and grainy texture.

Vibrant Colors

Photos are heat infused directly into the metal creating unsurpassed resolution and color vibrancy. We only use Epson Surecolor printers with Epson inks to guarantee the highest quality on the market.

Metal Print Size Chart

My Metal Prints are made with Chromaluxe Metal. These panels are coated using state-of-the-art coating machines in the USA. Unfortunately, the coating sometimes contains small imperfections, for instance, small bumps or pits. We inspect each sheet very carefully and if there are imperfections we place them in the most unobtrusive parts of the image. We cannot remake Metal Prints due to these imperfections unless they are located in a very prominent part of the image. Chromaluxe Metal Prints are weatherproof and moisture proof, but they will scratch and fade like a normal photograph, so please avoid direct sunlight or abrasive handling of the metal panels.
