Tatiana Calderón 16"x24" Metal Print

Tatiana was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia and entered the Colegio Helvetia when she was four years old. She studied there from 1997 until 2011 and learned English and German, along with her native Spanish. During the years she competed in kart races, before moving up categories and had to accommodate her races with her schooling, sometimes having to miss weeks of school. She graduated in June 2011 and moved to Indianapolis in order to train full time for her team, Juncos Racing.

In the 2005-06 season she was a karting driver and won the Easykart National Championship. In the next season she ended up third in the Colombian National Kart Championship, Rotax junior division. In 2008 she became the first female to win the Snap-On-Stars of Karting Divisional Championship-JICA Eastern Championship and was the IAME International Challenge champion. She continued enjoying success next year when she ended up second in the Radical European Master Series - SR5 and second in the Colombian Rotax Senior Max Challenge. In 2010 she began her open-wheel auto racing career and moved to the Star Mazda Championship driving for Juncos Racing and finished tenth in her rookie season with a best finish of seventh in race 1 at Autobahn Country Club. She also won the Colombian Rotax Championship in karting that year. In the 2011 season, she is in the seventh position as of August and has finished third twice, marking her as the first and only woman so far to climb the podium in the series.

It's more like artwork than a photograph after going through this AlumiPrint process, and I'm proud to say that I'm a satisfied customer!"

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.

Frames & Mounts

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.

- Brilliant luminescent images

- Durable archival prints without glass

- Ultra-Hard scratch-resistant surface

The reflective light properties of our metal prints combined with our translucent dyes makes our images look and feel three dimensional with a depth of field that is truly amazing. This evolution in digital printing is unparalleled in producing the most vivid colors, with crisp-sharp detail.
