I don't know if anyone has printed photos on aluminum-- I haven't, but I've seen some pretty impressive ones. There is currently a Groupon deal for getting an 11x14 or 16x20 at very reasonable cost, with free shipping. It is listed as the deal of the day for Minneapolis/St. Paul, but I'd think it would be available elsewhere. Just wanted to pass it along.

What lab is it from?

MetalPixs-- I'm not sure how much longer it's available. I put this note up yesterday morning, but it ended up buried on the second page.

There are about 14 hours left on the groupon offer (currently 9:30 CST).

I'm not sure how good their work is, but the price seems right to find out. Aluminum printing seems especially good for making bright colors pop (e.g. autumn leaves).
