Overview
Metal Prints are created by using an advanced dye sublimation process and require special Printers, Ink, Paper and a massive Heat Press, often weighing tons. The images are printed as a mirror image on a special transfer paper. A specially treated piece of aluminum is placed on a heat press around 400 degrees F with the paper image on it. Both the metal and paper are pressed together under significant pressure until the ink evaporates and fuses into the Metal. After cooling, the image , now on the metal, creates a very dynamic print that can mount to the wall and requires no external frame or glass.. Leaving a very contemporary look.
The Heat Transfer and Finishing Process
The heat transfer process can shift the balance of colors in the original image. Careful compensation processing of the image is required to minimize that effect. Once the image is adjusted we transfer it to our partner who has years of experience and the very large heat presses necessary to transfer the image to Metal. They add the mounting hardware and ship the finished image directly to you. We manage the whole process. You will only have to interact with Artistry Printing to get beautiful Metal Prints,
You Shouts Know
Metal sublimation process creates dynamic, saturated colors but they are not as accurate as paper or canvas prints when compared to the original digital image. Furthermore, because producing Metal prints is a two-step process (print then transfer), the finest detail and textures are reduced. That said, the color dynamics and “Punch” of a Metal print can’t be duplicated on paper or canvas.
