The Prospects Of Metal Prints

By Marci Nielsen


In metallic printing, dyes are placed inside specially coated aluminum sheets. In traditional paper prints, the dye is placed inside the surface but not on top. Metal prints protect the image better because the factors which lead to degradation are less likely to reach it.

The prints are not easily damaged by water. Other liquids which are known to cause havoc upon entry into paper prints do not stand a chance with this type of prints. If the image is placed in public places, dust accumulates on it quickly. Also, because a lot of hands will touch it, it appears greasy. A soft cloth can be used to wipe it clean.

Lost memories can never be recovered. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all the important images are captured and preserved well. Paper is not the best product to use to make prints of such memories. It gets damaged quickly when exposed to various conditions. Over time, the images also change color and their quality deteriorates.

The detail and color in metallic prints is superior compared to paper. It captures the moment so well you will even enjoy gazing at it. However, paper prints have so many flaws. At the end of the day you will remember the flaws more that the memory. Nonetheless, there is a solution to this. Metallic prints will give you exactly want you want.

Aluminum prints costs more than paper print. However, the price gap is not big. This is such a small price to pay in order to get a quality product. If you go for paper and end up losing the image completely, even the money cannot buy back the moments you have lost. Therefore, you should go for metallic prints to get value for your hard-earned cash.

The products are resistant to scratching. Therefore, no matter the situation the print is exposed to, be assured that the image will be retain its original look. Also, peeling which takes place with paper over time does not happen in aluminum print. Therefore, you are assured of a durable product.

Displays can be made in shadow box or traditional frames. In addition, you can use floating walls to suspend the product. There are also stands which can be used to fix it in a corner. The techniques of displaying these items are so many and you can use your creative skills to come up with something that interests you. This will give it a modern finish. Even if the house catches fire, the item will not be affected. Aluminum can hold its grounds even under high temperatures. Owners of expensive artwork should invest in this.

The items are light making them very portable. Thus, even those who do not stay in one location for long will find them very easy to carry. Paper work has to be fixed on a frame. This may make it so heavy such that you have to call in special movers to transport it and have fixed. This costs you money.
