Metal Printing Details

Aluminum Photo Prints:

  • Metal Prints are created by sublimating an image onto a white-coated Aluminum sheet that is 1.14mm thick, resulting in an image with bright whites, a wide range of colors, and a Glossy finishing.
  • Available in 17 sizes, ranging from 4x4" to 24x36"
  • Display options include black shadow mounts, aluminum easels, float mount hangers, and stainless steel standoffs
  • Each piece is unique due to the natural variations in the metal substrate. Our Quality Control team will only order a reprint of the piece if an imperfection distracts from the image itself.

“I was amazed by every aspect of my first Metal Print order. The color and saturation are stunning and the surface is like glass, unexpected for a metal print, but beautiful. It comes with an easel/hook for easy display, a nice feature I didn’t expect so itwas a welcomed surprise.”

“Once again the quality, fit, and finish of the picture was excellent! The colors were vibrant and true. The packaging was great, as to not damage the artwork. This is our third Metal Art Picture ordered through Nations Photo Lab. All around, excellent execution of service!”

"Every pixel printed on the aluminum sheet was screaming elegance. I hung one on the wall and the whole room looked different. Excellent sharpness on the 16x20" Metal Print and superb colors. Accurate color rendition and the wall mount was very nicely done. Surely I'll have more of my works printed on Metal. Thank you NPL.”
