Bay Photo, a popular full-line photo lab on the west coast.

Thanks for the suggestion. Bay photo metal prints are on aluminum, not conducive to magnets.

Aluminum is light when compared to a steel sheet and it's much easier to handle. It will not rust so I doubt you will find steel Print anywhere. Shipping would be more expensive also.

You can use jb weld found at your local hardware store & attach small magnets in the corners or desired location.

You could just Velcro attach or glue magnets to the back of the aluminum

You could glue the aluminum print to a piece of sheet metal, then magnets would stick to the face.

My local SAMS Club prints on metal but I don't know the size or type of metal. The display that they have looks to be about 10 x 14 with a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge on it.

There are small neodymium magnets that could be glued, super glue should work, to the back of the picture. You will need to affix another magnet or some ferrous metal to the wall for each of the magnets on the picture. If you decide to use magnets on the wall, be sure that they are turned so that they attract, rather than repel, the ones on the picture.
