I recently picked up my order of prints, and I have to say, they did an amazing job!When I went to pick up my order, I... realized that I wanted to print an additional image. They were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond. They not only provided me with their wifi so that I could work on my image using my laptop but also invited me to sit in their office while doing so.I plan to use them again in the future.read more

What Are HD Aluminum Metal Prints?

HD aluminum metal prints are created through a cutting-edge dye-sublimation process beginning with a white or clear-coated piece of .045″ aluminum metal. The image is printed on a transfer paper with archival pigment inks, registered onto the aluminum, and run through a high-temperature heat-press uniting the image and metal.

From this transfer, the image is permanently affixed to the surface of the aluminum, creating a long-lasting, sleek piece of art with breathtaking detail and resolution. A 3/4″ wooden platform is adhered to the back of the aluminum creating a ready-to-hang frameless masterpiece. Since the advent of digital inkjet printing on unorthodox materials, custom HD aluminum metal prints have been on the rise. It has become not only a celebrated treatment and display option in the world of fine art exhibition, over the past few years the treatment has also made its way into the home.

There are four available finishes for this process: White Gloss, White Matte, Silver Gloss, and Silver Matte. The White Gloss and White Matte options begin with an opaque bright-white coating in either a gloss or matte finish, whereas the Silver Gloss and Silver Matte begin with a clear coat that emulates the metal of the raw aluminum. The “White” finishes are ideal for all photography and most artworks, while the stylized and unpredictable nature of the “Silver” finishes lends itself to high-contrast imagery as the bright areas are where the “raw” metal really shines through. If you are not sure which is right for your image, we are always happy to advise and provide recommendations.

HD Aluminum metal prints display astounding vibrancy and detail and are the most durable of all printing processes. These lightweight prints stand the test of time as they are moisture, scratch and UV resistant. This treatment is available in a selection of sizes ranging from 5×7″ to 40×60″ and can be further finished with a Black or White wooden Floater Frame for a touch of elegance.

What Makes Aluminum Art Prints the Best?

Over the years, prints on aluminum have grown in popularity because of how vibrant and brilliant the colors look after printing. The process of heat infusing the images onto metal creates a color brilliance other methods can’t match. Best of all, this process is fade-resistant, allowing you to enjoy these colors for years to come.

Along with the aesthetic benefits, this method of printing also offers several practical advantages. Because of how aluminum metal prints are made, they are incredibly robust, and they’ll resist scratches that would harm more fragile mediums like canvas. If an aluminum-mounted print gets smears or smudges on its surface, cleanup is simple — all you’ll need to do is wipe it down with a damp cloth to restore its original beauty.

When Should I Print on Metal?

Our HD metal photo printing method is one of the most durable printing options you can choose for your art. If you have an image that you want to display in a humid environment, this method is strong enough to handle high moisture levels.

No matter where you show them off, your large metal prints will withstand the elements while providing you with a defined, modern style.

Frequently Asked Questions

HD aluminum prints are archival fine art prints created through a dye-sublimation process on a .045-inch aluminum panel. The image is printed on transfer paper using archival pigment inks, then heat-pressed directly into the aluminum surface, permanently fusing the image with the metal. The result is a frameless, ready-to-hang piece with exceptional color vibrancy, sharpness, and depth that cannot be achieved with paper or canvas printing. A 3/4-inch wooden float platform is adhered to the back for easy wall mounting.

Aluminum prints are made using a process called dye-sublimation. The image is first printed onto a transfer sheet using archival pigment inks. That sheet is then registered onto a white or clear-coated aluminum panel and run through a high-temperature heat press. The heat converts the ink into a gas that bonds permanently with the aluminum coating, infusing the colors directly into the surface rather than sitting on top of it. This is what gives aluminum prints their distinctive luminosity and durability.

There are four finish options: Matte White, Gloss White, Matte Silver, and Gloss Silver.

Matte White and Gloss White start with an opaque bright white coating. The white base makes colors accurate and vibrant, making these finishes ideal for photography, portraits, and most fine art work.

Matte Silver and Gloss Silver start with a clear coat that reveals the raw aluminum beneath. Bright areas of the image take on a metallic quality, creating a dramatic, semi-transparent effect. These finishes work best for high-contrast imagery where that raw aluminum effect enhances the visual impact.

If you are unsure which finish is right for your image, our team is happy to review your file and make a recommendation.

HD aluminum prints are the most durable of all printing formats we offer. They are moisture resistant, scratch resistant, and UV resistant, making them suitable for display in humid environments, high-traffic areas, or spaces with direct light exposure. The surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Unlike canvas or paper prints, aluminum prints will not warp, fade, or deteriorate under normal display conditions. They are also lightweight despite their durability, which makes installation straightforward.
