Wondering how your image will translate to a Vivid Metal Print? Curious about color or clarity or a particular finish option?

Our Studio & Production teams will take your image through every step of our Gallery-Level process and send you two metal pieces (approximately 6″x 8″) for approval.

The first piece will be your full image scaled down so that you can see how each color & shade has translated through the process on your chosen finish.

The second piece will be a zoomed in portion of your image to represent the level of detail & clarity that will come through on full-sized print of your selected dimensions.

Once you receive your proofs in the mail let us know your thoughts! You can approve the way we’ve processed your work and move forward with an order for a full-sized print, or, if you want to make changes our Studio team will be happy to discuss and work with you to ensure fidelity with your vision.

To order proofs:

Select your finish or choose multiple finishes
Upload your image
In the notes field, be sure to tell us your final desired output size. This is what we will use to create the detail section of your print.

Metal Proofs

Ordering one proof for $30 will get you the two pieces to review: the detail and the overall. Ordering an additional proof on another finish will get you the first two detail and overall, as well as only the detail on the secondary finish(es).

Each $30 proof kit includes two pieces of metal:

One which has the entire image, but smaller so you can review all of the colors
One which has only a section of it, at the full resolution so you can gauge detail at print size

1 Proof= $30 * 2 Proofs = $50 * 3 Proofs =$70 * 4 Proofs =$90 * 5 proofs = $110

Customizing Your Print

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.

Cleaning & Care Instructions

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.
