Welcome gallerist!
Your work deserves to live on the wall, not the screen.
You built a body of work and a clientele who trust your eye. Let us become the lab behind it: metal prints your clients hang for a lifetime, produced in-house, shipped under your name.
A digital file is where the work ends. Metal is where it begins.
Your clients do not commission you for a folder of files. They commission you for something they can live with: a piece that holds the room, anchors a wall, and is still there for the next generation.
Dye-sublimation on aluminum gives the image a depth that paper and canvas physically cannot. The color is suspended in a clear layer above a white base, so light enters the surface, passes through, and reflects back out. The print appears to glow from within.
It is the difference between delivering a gallery proof and handing a client an heirloom.
You stay the artist. We become your lab.
A reseller arrangement built so the client relationship, the brand, and the margin all stay with you. We handle production and fulfillment, invisibly.
A standing discount
A 30 percent reseller discount that holds on a single commissioned piece and scales the same on a full exhibition run. The spread between our cost and your retail is yours to set and keep.
White-label drop-ship
Proofs come to you. Finished work ships directly to your client, blind-labeled under your branding. Add your own thank-you cards to the box. We never appear.
The relationship stays yours
Singles or bulk, your name is the one on the work. We are infrastructure, not a competitor for your client. The artist of record never changes.
The glow lives in the gap.
Vivid Metal Prints began as Image Wizards. Our original owner, Roger K. Laudy, helped shape modern dye-sublimation on aluminum before ChromaLuxe was even a brand name. The process we still use is the one he worked out years before the rest of the industry caught up.
The trick is the sandwich. An aluminum panel on the bottom, a white titanium dioxide coating above it, then a clear polymer layer on top. When the dyes sublimate, they travel down into the clear layer and stop, suspended above the white base. Light enters the surface, passes through the suspended color, reflects off the white, and exits back out. That is the depth paper and canvas cannot reproduce.
Every show I ever did, I put them on easels and leaned them back, and never used lighting. People said they have a light in them. Roger K. Laudy · Original Owner
Roger figured out the suspended-dye glow decades ago. We just kept building on it.
This is a partnership, not a checkout.
Most print services are a vending machine: upload, pay, hope. This is the opposite. You can be part of every print that carries your name, with a human on the other end who made it.
Press proofs on real metal
Every pro order is proofed on actual metal before final production. Approved prints are kept in a master bin, so a reprint three years from now still matches the first.
Adobe RGB, end to end
The colorspace is maintained through the entire pipeline in lossless formats. On a calibrated monitor, what you approve is what hangs on the wall.
Files audited before printing
Lens dust, compression artifacts, soft pixelation, all flagged before anything reaches the press. We would rather hold a file than print a flaw under your name.
Talk to the tech
Call an order in and you will often reach the actual studio technician who handled your file. Adjustments discussed directly. Answers in hours, not days.
Files retained five years and counting
Submit a client library once. Reorder by email. The clock resets with every order, so you are never re-uploading from the road.
A QC team paid to reject
A rolling streak of perfect prints unlocks team bonuses, and a single defect resets it. The incentive points toward sending nothing you would not sign.
Calm, considered, built to repeat.
A reseller workflow designed to disappear into how you already work, from the first conversation to the reorder years later.
We talk first
A conversation, not a cart. We set up a reseller account with pricing that fits how you sell.
You send the file
Upload once. We audit it, flag anything that compromises the print, and proof on metal when color is critical.
We produce in-house
Printed, finished, quality-checked under one roof. 98 percent of orders ship in three to five business days.
It ships as you
Blind-labeled to your client with your branding. They receive a piece from you. Reorder by email anytime.
Trusted where the work actually matters.
The Photography Show
Last year we produced the media lounge for AIPAD in New York, where collectors trade photographic work at the highest end of the market.
Portraits, printed
This year we worked with NYC Salt, the youth photography program, producing the portraits their students made.
Galleries across the country
From single commissions to full exhibition runs, galleries and working artists rely on us as the lab behind their walls.
Start a conversation.
No order forms, no commitment. Tell us about your work and how you sell it, and we will figure out the right arrangement together, sampling included.
If you would rather explore before you reach out, here is everything: finishes, framing, hardware, file prep, and pricing you can run yourself.
