Guide to Metal Prints & Dye Sublimation
What is a Metal Print?
A metal print is the best way to showcase photography. From phone pics to the top cameras, our prints look as stunning as if you were there. Metal prints are made using special inks infused into a specially coated aluminum surface. The inks are suspended at different depths in the surface, creating a life-like and stunning image.
How are Metal Prints Made?
We start with dye-sublimation inks printed onto a high quality transfer paper. That paper is placed on a specially coated aluminum, and using a proprietary combination of Heat, Time and Pressure, the solid inks turn into a vapor, then back into a solid, at various levels on the aluminum—that is the definition dye-sublimation.

Can I order from my mobile phone?
Of course, and that mobile pic (on phones 2016 & later) will make a great quality print usually up to 16 x 20. And don’t worry - when you upload, our image checker will make sure it looks great - and we have a satisfaction guarantee.
