I had a few of my pictures printed on metal/aluminum. I need some help on how to frame these pictures and suggestions on the best places to purchase frames.
Appreciate your suggestions.
do they need frames? what size?
A trimless method would be to use VHB (very high bond) tape, a sign industry standard, applied to a spacer or z-clip to float the print off the wall.
Are you pleased with the metal prints? I have thought about this many times.

I don't think I've ever seen a metal (not metallic paper) print with a frame.
And I agree that they should 'float' off the wall.

How are they attached to the wall?
Yes I am pleased with the prints. I saw a deal on groupon. I had no idea how the prints would turn out and with the deal i got with groupon it was worth it.
off topic but, I would love to see how they turned out. Before and after pic?
The photo taken and then what it looks like on the print. I've never seen a metallic print before.

A picture of the metal (not metallic) print won't do it justice.
You really need to stand in front of it and move around to look at it from different angles to really get a feel for it.

Thanks Wall-e i'll try to find some places in Columbus that may have these.
I'm totally intrigued with metallic prints. Please give a link where I can try one out.
