What We Offer
Our metal prints are more than just prints—they’re experiences. They are windows to moments in time.
We take your digital files and use a cutting-edge dye-sublimation process to infuse your images directly into aluminum, creating a finished product with incredible depth, sharpness, and vibrancy. Here’s a closer look at what sets us apart:
1. Finishes to Match Your Vision
We offer five unique finishes, each designed to showcase your images in the best possible way. It is difficult to show the differences so we tried to make digital representations to help you conceptualize the aesthetic. Pay attention to the reflection of the light in the top left corner of the images, as well as the metallic texture that is present in the clear finishes:

White Gloss: For the highest contrast and sharp detail. Perfect for bold, vibrant images.
White Semi-Gloss: A balance between vibrancy and reduced reflectivity.
White Matte: A non-reflective option with soft tones, ideal for minimal glare environments.
Clear Gloss: Allows the brushed metal texture to shine through, giving your work a striking, modern look. Clear finishes have a metallic look as they drop out the white base.
Clear Matte: A subtle, metallic texture with reduced glare for a more understated presentation. Clear finishes have a metallic look as they drop out the white base.
2. Framing Options for Every Style
Your art deserves the perfect frame. Whether you prefer a minimalist look or a statement-making design, we’ve got you covered:

Frame to Edge (Flush Frame): Available in sleek black, pewter, or silver. Creates a bold, modern finish.
Recessed Frames (Floating Frames): Adds a subtle floating effect, elevating the print off the wall for a gallery-inspired look.
Shadowbox Frames: Thick, dramatic black frames that draw attention to the image.
Unframed Options: For those who have a local framer that want to frame it themselves. This option is just the flat panel, so there is nothing on the back by which to hang.
DUO & Wall Mounts: Flexible, cost conscious, space-saving options perfect for portable displays or smaller setups. Wallmount is made of PVC material (not foam), and duo blocks can "stick or stand" and are stickable and movable up to 5-7 times with the same adhesive strip.
With sizes ranging from as small as 5”x5” to as large as 48”x96”, we can accommodate everything from intimate portraits to large-scale statement pieces.
3. Services that set us both up for success!
One of the most important services that we offer to pro's like you is the ability to order press proofs. We send you physical proofs to approve prior to pulling the trigger on the final print. Check out this quick video about our proofing system:
In addition to offering you proofs, we have various options of ordering samples so you can have a better reference for our different finishes.
You have two options in this regard:
First is an inexpensive sample kit for $5 that features five small pieces of metal on each of our finishes using our own stock photo at 3.5"x5".
Second is a personal sample kit. For this kit we use your image and print it on all five of our finishes at approximately 8x10 to 8x12 for $120. This makes an excellent sales tool to keep with you to help potential customers decide on what finish would work best for them.

Our latest case study with professional photographer Wink Gaines:
Your Art, Perfected
Professional photographers demand precision, and we deliver. Our process is designed to bring out every detail, from the subtle highlights to the deepest shadows, while preserving the color accuracy and tonal range you worked so hard to achieve. We utilize the Adobe RGB 1998 color space for unmatched fidelity and offer proofing on metal to ensure your prints are nothing short of perfect. We also accept virtually any format, but prefer to work with 16bit TIFF files.
Durability Meets Beauty
Our metal prints are built to last. With UV protection in the coating, they’ll retain their brilliance indoors for over 100 years. They’re also waterproof, scratch-resistant, and shatterproof, making them ideal for clients who need a product that can withstand time and handling. Whether it’s for gallery displays, client portraits, or outdoor exhibitions, our prints are made to perform. Exterior finishes are available upon request.
