Product Information

Our UV Gallery Aluminum artwork is the perfect mix of a sleek modern substrate with a classic gallery finish. The brushed metal surface and bold direct-UV-printing gives your image an extraordinary, metallic appearance. Ideal for compositions with a large amount of white or strong dark and light contrasts – The areas of the image that are white or very light are not printed, but instead take on the appearance of the brushed aluminum’s surface. A 3/4” wide by 2-1/8” deep black gallery frame provides a classic presentation while protecting the edges of the aluminum. Dust cover and hanging hardware complete this gallery worthy product.

Printing

We direct print your image straight onto the aluminum surface. In this state-of-the-art, 5-color printing process, we use UV fine art inks for a vibrant, satin finish print. The brighter parts of the image are not printed at all, meaning the shimmering aluminum remains visible and creates a show-through effect.

Border Options

For images with little or no show through we recommend adding borders to your artwork to accentuate the underlying substrate. For images with significant show through we suggest edge-to-edge printing.

  2. Print with borders

Ink Options

  1. CMYK Print
    The brighter parts of the image are not printed at all, meaning the brushed aluminum remains visible and creates a show-through effect. We achieve this look using our modern direct UV print process leaving out the white ink channel.
  2. White + CMYK Print
    We apply a flood or spot white ink layer below the CMYK print to eliminate show through and keep the white values in tact.
