The Relevance Of Metal Photo Prints

By Thomas Evans


Experts together with people who intend on preserving their special memories for a considerable period while still maintaining the actual appearance are embracing new methods of printing. Consequently, this has been due to diversity created by modern technology. Metal photo prints has become the ideal method of preserving images or photographs whereby dyes are applied into a thin sheet of metal such as aluminum.

Metallic printing preserves the image against conditions that can trigger degradation especially for prints on paper. Mainly this is due to the infusion of the image into the surface on the metallic sheet rather than on the surface of paper sheet. Consequently, the color of the image infused into metallic a surface does not fade easily over time.

The polymer used for metallic prints creates a hard surface or shell. Consequently, this protects the image from abrasion. This factor makes them last for a long time that extends for a period more than fifty years. In addition, the surface is resistant against liquids such as alcohol or water. Dirt caused by fingerprints or smudges can be easily cleaned using a microfiber cloth. Experts in this line of work recommend the use of Meguiar cleaner wax in the polishing and waxing of panels.

Unlike the infusion of images onto paper, the use of metallic sheets gives photographers a unique platform that stands out in the market. Consequently, they are provided with a distinct, new and a rare kind of image that most camera owners do not possess. They capture the attention of any on looker. In addition, this kind of print can be applied in a variety of options for any product line especially in terms of shape such as multi-panel murals, custom shapes, and regular rectangular panels.

One way of comparing the quality of metallic prints with paper imprints is by looking at high definition and standard television. The depth in color quality surpasses that of paper, which is prone to fading over time. Consequently, minor details in any image are captured with utmost quality unlike the paper printing method. This is very effective for individuals who wish to preserve their memories for a long period in superb condition.

Fading of the color can easily be caused by ultra violet rays, which are highly prevalent in the surrounding environment. However, these rays find it hard to penetrate the surface of aluminum sublimate due to its hard shielding surface. The essence of photographs especially in a corporate or art gallery is the aesthetic beauty that comes with the particular image. Consequently, metallic printing brings about a more appealing state due to its shiny attribute that is caused by the coat.

Many people or rather artwork lovers prefer photographs they can take home and mount on the walls to improve their decor or the aesthetic value of their homes. In this case, people prefer procuring lightweight photographs especially those made of aluminum printing. Mobility of images printed using aluminum becomes an easy task. Further, this artwork can be mounted on traditional frames without losing the modern appeal.

Fire accidents are usually destructive especially when fire is exposed to paper. Consequently, this creates a risk for photographs embedded on paper. Nevertheless, those photographs infused into metallic surfaces are resistant to high heat conditions created by fire.
