Metal Prints

All my metal prints display vibrant luminescent colors and have a beautiful glow that makes them appear back-lit.  Special dyes are infused into a thick translucent coating. The image is not printed onto the surface, but rather has a depth that, in effect, glows. People that see metal print for the first time often think that the print is back-lit.

Metal prints are available in three levels of gloss. Deciding on which level of gloss is best is a matter of personal preference. While gloss is used by the majority of our customers because of it’s extraordinary luminosity, if glare is a problem (lots of windows), then Satin or Matte might be the better choice.

Because the image is infused into and not onto the special coating, the prints have unrivaled archival value and durability without the need for protective glass. In fact, prints are not only scratch-resistant, they are also waterproof. This makes them ideal for hanging in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where paper prints would be susceptible to water damage.

Jill's images can be reproduced in increasing sizes of the same dimensions. Metal Prints are limited to 48 x 96 inches. For those that desire even larger display areas, we recommend creating a custom diptych or triptych.

Images printed with this process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight. We use only ChromaLuxe metal and the longest lasting sublimation inks.  Like any fine art print, metal prints should not be exposed to direct sunlight . However, they can be hung outdoors if they are out of direct sunlight. Metal prints have an archival value that is better than the best giclee’s and photographic papers. Rochester Institute of Technology has conducted accelerated aging tests on metal prints and show an archival value of 2 to 4 times the image stability of traditional silver based photo papers. In addition to RIT testing, another highly respected testing facility, Wilhelm Imaging Research has substantiated the superior archival characteristics of ChromaLuxe metal prints.
