HD Metal prints offer a clarity and depth of colour that cannot be produced by normal paper based ink jet photo printing methods
Unlike traditional inkjet photographic prints where the ink sits on the surface of the paper, metal prints have the
colour pigments permanently bonded into the polymer surface coating of the aluminium substrate
Durability and archivability of metal prints is excellent. The surface coating is very tough and scratch resistant
and doesn’t require glass to protect it
Metal prints are waterproof, making them ideal for wet, damp or humid areas such as bathroom, kitchen, sauna
rooms, outside areas etc., where traditional paper or canvas prints would rapidly deteriorate
Dust, dirt and fingerprints can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth
Also, they are incredibly fade resistant.
How long do metal prints last?
The Rochester Institute of Technology tested metal prints to last up to 4 times longer than archival silver halide
photographic prints which last about 40 years.
Due to the high stability, an aluminium print is also suitable for very large prints and is a great first choice for large, light-flooded rooms. In addition, aluminium prints are deceivingly light and therefore very easy to hang on the wall
