• Select high-resolution (300 DPI at size), vibrant images. The luminosity and color vibrancy of metal prints work best with images that are sharp and rich in color. Avoid low-resolution images as they may appear pixelated when printed. A good quality photo from your phone will work well.
• Decide between glossy and matte finishes based on where the print will be displayed. Glossy finishes are great for vibrant, high-contrast images but can reflect light and show fingerprints. Matte finishes are better for reducing glare and are ideal for portraits or softer images.
• Embrace negative space in your design. Metal prints have a sleek and modern look, and sometimes a minimalist approach with ample negative space can make a powerful statement.
• Be mindful of the colors in your room when choosing a print. Metal prints can act as a focal point in a room, so selecting colors that complement your existing decor can create a harmonious design.
• Consider the size and orientation of the print in relation to your space. Larger prints can serve as a centerpiece, while smaller prints may be used to create a gallery wall. Think about the wall space and how the print's orientation (portrait or landscape) will fit into it.
• If planning for multiple prints, consider creating a theme or series. This could be a series of images with a similar color scheme, subject matter, or artistic style. Displayed together, they can tell a story or create a visually cohesive area.

• Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently dust the surface of the metal print. Avoid using rough materials or scrubbing aggressively, as this can scratch the surface. Most common non-abrasive household cleaners will work great.
• Refrain from using harsh chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials. These can damage the print's coating and vibrant colors. For routine cleaning, a damp cloth with water or any common non-abrasive household cleaner is usually sufficient.
• For smudges or fingerprints, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water or a mild, dilute soap solution. Gently wipe the area in a circular motion, then dry it with a separate clean cloth.
• To preserve the color integrity of the metal print, avoid hanging or placing it in direct sunlight for extended periods. While metal prints are the longest-lasting photo medium, prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to fading.
• Always handle your metal print with care, particularly when moving or transporting it. When storing, protect the print with a soft cloth or padding to prevent scratches and damage. Keep it in a dry, safe place away from potential hazards.
