Metallic-Paper-Print

Adding a distinctive look to any photograph, metallic prints have a high-gloss surface which results in prints that are sharp, vibrant and exceptionally rich-looking. Printed with 12-color archival inks, the paper has a “metallic” nature to its look which makes the image “pop” when viewed. Perfect for portraits, commercial display prints and competition prints, Metallic prints stand out from others with its high-sheen new age look and will definitely not go unnoticed.

What paper types do you offer?

We offer the following paper types: Premium Satin, Premium Gloss, Fine Art Photo Rag, Metallic and Canvas

How do you print my images?

Except for economy prints, prints on metal and press printed products, all images are printed with 12-color inkjet printers. When compared to traditional silver halide prints, our inkjet prints have better reproduction color and quality due to the controllability and number of colors available for output. Our prints are synonymous with “Giclée” Prints, which simply means a digital fine art print made on an inkjet printer, which our prints are.

What is the archival life of your prints?

Except for economy prints, prints on metal and press printed products, our inkjet prints (Premium Satin and Gloss, Metallic, Fine Art Photo Rag and Canvas) are all rated for a print permanence in typical display settings of at least 75 years for color images and at least 200 years for black and white images. When kept behind UV protective glass/glazing, coatings and laminates, the longevity increases beyond 95 years, in some cases beyond 300 years.

What size is a wallet print?

A wallet image is printed at 2.5” x 3.5”, and then trimmed with rounded die-cut corners for a final output size at 2.375” x 3.375”.

Do you back-print?
