Our Photographic Process
The first step in creating a metal print is to print a digital image on special paper called a transfer, with eight different colored inks, actually called sublimation dyes, which have a translucent quality that gives the images a three-dimensional look and feel. Next we place a blank metal sheet on the transfer and using a large heat press, applying a ton of pressure for about two minutes at 400° Fahrenheit. Under this heat and pressure, the sublimation dyes turn into a gas and are sublimated into the special coating on the aluminum. At this point we have a metal print, and after it cools, it then goes to our in house "Framing Gallery", where it is trimmed to size, framed or mounted depending on the order. Then, the last step is to carefully wrap and package your metal print into one of our shipping boxes, specially designed and engineered to protect the metal print during shipment, so all you have to do when the print arrives, is hang it on the wall and enjoy.
Mounts & Frames
Our in house "Framing Gallery" is always experimenting with new frame designs and innovative ways to mount and display your "High Definition" metal prints. From our simple box mount to the museum quality "Shadow Frame", you will find a frame or mount that meets all of your individual requirements. The Shadow Frame was designed exclusively for framing metal prints and is available with a brushed black or silver finish.
"I've never seen anything like it! It's absolutely gorgeous. The clarity is remarkable and of course I just have a jones for Jungle Pam. I can't wait to see more in the future. The print is worth every penny for a collector. Just a beautiful print like no other I've seen or own and I do own a few. Thank you and hope to see more soon!"
