Metal Prints-

Dye-Infused metal prints are the benchmark for luxurious fine-art prints. Metal prints have a magical luminescence and vibrancy. Many people think that the prints are back-lit because of their beautiful glow.

Using high heat and pressure, special inks are infused into coated aluminum plates. Because the image is infused into and not onto the special coating, the prints have an archival value and durability that is unparalleled. These prints have a coating that is UV protected, water resistant, and scratch resistant. They are the ultimate in longevity and a clean, bold look with colors that "pop".

The default option of metal print is a high-gloss finish that adds to the "pop" that metal prints are known for. Prints can alternatively me made with a non-glare/matte finish, or a satin finish if preferred. There is no additional charge for this finish, just be sure to let me know if you would prefer an alternate finish.

Metal prints also include free drop-shipping. If you are looking for a particular size of metal print that you don't see as an option here, feel free to send me a message. Metal prints can be made in just about any size.

Metal prints are limited edition, with a maximum edition size of 100 prints across all sizes.
