The brushed silver metal shows through the image, giving the surface a unique translucent luminescence. High gloss surface has unsurpassed detail, vibrance and color.

Process

The HD Metal Print is an especially durable premium product. Due to its low weight, the HD Metal Print is also ideal for large formats. It is weather- and water- resistant, making it suited for outdoor display. Using a state-of-the-art printing technique, the pigments are permanently bonded to coating of the aluminum. An HD Metal Print puts a shine on your photos.

For the HD Metal Print we first print your photo on transfer paper using Fine Art Inkjet pigments. Using heat and pressure, the transfer is then vaporized into a special coating on the aluminum. The result: the materials form a permanent bond, making the print extremely robust. This method is called thermal sublimation. The exceptionally vivid color is very durable, which is why the HD Metal Print is an excellent choice for colorful images with strong contrast.

Please note: despite using the latest techniques, the printing process can result in minor surface imperfections or irregularities resulting from the material itself.
