Why are Metal Prints Superior?

If you’re looking for a modern way to display your photos in head-turning color and HD quality, metal prints are exactly what you’re looking for

• They are waterproof, clean really easily, scratch resistant and are incredibly fade-proof over time

• Metal prints produce the most vibrant colors and deep contrasts compared to canvas prints

• Metal prints that are created by the dye-sublimation process are found to retain color balance as much as 4 times longer than archival photographic paper

How are Metal Prints made?

Metal prints are made by a process called dye sublimation

• Unlike the traditional method of printing directly on the material surface, which may damage easily, dye sublimation infuses the image directly into the hard coating to provide lasting durability and protection

• The next step requires your image to be printed on transfer paper with specialized sublimation inks made for the metal print process

• This transfer sheet is then placed on to a blank metal photo panel which is then placed in a heat press

• The heat and pressure causes the sublimation inks to transform into a gas

• The gas is then absorbed through the pores of the polymer coating of the metal and into the base coating

• This entire process creates the most high quality, vibrant images that will easily outlast other printing processes
