So just printed it out on paper. Not a world of difference but a noticeable difference. Not as vibrant, lower contrast and detail. Checked some other prints they have done and they are good. Going to call them Monday. Thank you for the replies.


I've done A Lot of stacked images of jumping spiders on metal and all of the detail and depth is present. Adorama did my prints, but I also make Sure they do not change anything to the original files sent to them. I also print A Lot on paper using Kodak Metallic Paper, also Great for detail and depth......

Mine appears to be aluminum but not sure. Very light and the photo side is perfectly smooth with a high gloss finish. Never had any print this beautiful. It came with a hanging frame attached to the backside.


Thank you.

Metal prints can be made on white metal or aluminum. They are coated with various finishes. I use a pride call Chromalux. Here's a link that advertises and describes their products.

We use a dye-sublimation printer.

The material is not excessively heavy or thick and can be traditionally framed, float mounted and framed, easily mounted on various materials and affixed directly to the wall or display unit.

The ones we make at my studio are mostly for commercial displays. They are durable, hold up well on public displays and the colour quality and vibrance are extremely suitable for commercial as well as pictorial work.

I don't know all the metallurgic data you asked about as to exact content, guage and weight but the material is quite manageable. The attached link can put you in touch with the manufacturer.

Thank you. I appreciate the info and the link.
