This page was written to give you an update on what our products and services are at this moment (May 21, 2024). We are working on a brand new website that should be live in the next 4-5 weeks. We will update this post once the process updates.
There are three experiences you can have on our page, but you have to ask yourself, which category do you fit in?
1. This print is a gift/for my house. I do not need the colors to be numerically accurate, but to still be beautiful.
For general consumer purposes, we offer smaller prints called "DUO." They are priced lower because they don't go through the same stringent color correction that pro prints (16x16 and over) go through. We guarantee pleasant color. They typically ship within 48 hours. They have the same beautiful aluminum that the larger prints do, but the backing is two small wood blocks and appears to float when you hang it. The top has a removable adhesive strip that lets you stick and restick it to the wall up to 5-7 times, as well as a hole in the bottom with a dowel that lets it sit on a desk. The best of both worlds! Feel free to click shop on the top of this page and check out.
2. I am a pro photographer. I want accurate color, prints larger than 16x16, and may want you to drop-ship or add extra services.
For our pro's we offer tons of great services that will be outlined further below in detail. For now just know this: we care about color and detail. We can help you by handling all inventory so you dont have to. You send us your file(s), and we'll take it from there. We offer press proofs on metal that we can mail to you for review, and you can also send us physical proofs to match to. We want the lines of communication to remain open with each artist: some don't want their files touched at all, some have very specific work they'd like (think, +/-1 tint adjustment), others have a more general idea. We speak all languages, from the general to the particular, when it comes to working with you. Once you order, just shoot us an email to info@vividmetalprints.com with any extra things we should know and we will get back to you ASAP! Let us know in your email if you'd like to schedule a call. We're happy to jump on the phone to discuss your work! Feel free to click shop on the top of this page and check out.

In regards to files: we want your best possible image. TIFF format, Adobe RGB color space, as close to 300dpi at size you can get. File too big to upload? Reach out via email, or go HERE to upload your file. Just drop your contact info in the message field and we will get in touch soon.
3. I am a company/business. I will be buying frequently, in larger quantities.
We offer many turn-key services and are very flexible. Bulk crates, PMS colors, exterior finishes & more. We recommend you contact us directly so we can learn more about your business and how we can assist/work together in the best way. We can even source an install team to completely take the project over for you if needed. Let us do the heavy lifting. info@vividmetalprints.com. Please let us know if your order needs to ship blind or appear to come from your business if drop-shipping. Wholesale/Reseller pricing available upon request.
Now lets talk about the product
The different metal finishes:
We have multiple finishes for prints >=16x16. You can click here to get the details of our 5 finishes. If buying a small DUO print, it typically defaults to white gloss (our best seller) unless you email info@vividmetalprints.com and ask us to change it after you order.
The summary:
White Gloss - White base, looks like printing on white paper. Maximum reflectivity, but highest sharpness & contrast. Pops even in low light.
White Semi Gloss - White base, looks like printing on white paper. Medium reflectivity, retains good sharpness & contrast. Pops even in low light.
White Matte/Satin - White base, looks like printing on white paper. Lowest reflectivity, images appear soft & contrast does take a slight hit. Pops even in low light.
Clear Gloss - Aluminum base shows through showing a brushed metal look. Whites appear silver. Maximum reflectivity, but highest sharpness & contrast. Needs good lighting to pop, can appear dull in sub-par lighting.
