As a result, metal prints actually come cheaper than other types. For example, many professional print labs charge <strong>up to three times more<\/strong> for acrylic prints. What\u2019s more, dye sublimation metal prints cost less time and labor for the labs to produce compared to mounted prints. Therefore, you get to enjoy lower prices with <strong>no loss of quality<\/strong> for your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s important to note that not all metal prints are created equal. At Shiny Prints, we only use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chromaluxe.com\/products\/metal-prints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ChromaLuxe<\/a> for metal photo printing. Our dye sublimation process uses heat and pressure to transfer printed images onto specially coated aluminum panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results are high-resolution prints with a wide color spectrum and robust finish. ChromaLuxe prints transform your photos into <strong>high-definition art pieces<\/strong> that turn heads wherever they\u2019re displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shinyprints-metal-photo-prints-gallery.jpg\" alt=\"Shiny Prints metal photo prints gallery\" class=\"wp-image-218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shinyprints-metal-photo-prints-gallery.jpg 650w, https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shinyprints-metal-photo-prints-gallery-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to get your metal prints done by Shiny Prints, you\u2019ll enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/faq.php#:~:text=Pricing-,What%20is%20PRO%20Pricing%3F,-Pro%20Pricing%20is\"><strong>Pro Pricing<\/strong><\/a>.

This is because metal prints are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Waterproof<\/li><li>Chemical-resistant<\/li><li>Rust-resistant<\/li><li>Scratch-resistant<\/li><li>Fade-resistant<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re incredibly durable and look great for <strong>up to 300 years.<\/strong> This makes metal prints ideal for use in places where other types of prints don\u2019t do well, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table compares printing methods and the appearance of kinds of different mediums:<\/p>\n\n\n<table style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; border: 1px solid #ccc; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"vertical-align: top; background: #32576A;\">\n<td style=\"width: 30%; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><strong>Medium<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 30%; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><strong>Printing Method<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 30%; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><strong>Appearance<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"vertical-align: top;\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">Canvas<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">Inkjet printing onto canvas<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">Soft surface appearance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"vertical-align: top;\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/resources\/acrylic-prints\/\">Acrylic<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">Printed on photo paper<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">High-gloss appearance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"vertical-align: top;\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/resources\/metal-prints-guide\/\">Metal<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">Dye sublimation onto aluminum<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc;\">Glossy coating appearance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n<p>Another perk of these prints is that they&#8217;re <strong>easy to clean.<\/strong> The ink is sublimated into the material, with none remaining on the surface, so it\u2019s safe to wipe the prints without the colors running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a <strong>soft microfiber cloth<\/strong> dipped in either a standard glass cleaning agent or water to clean smudges or stains from the prints. Avoid using abrasive items such as paper towels to wipe the prints because these can cause tiny scratches on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for stubborn stains, an adhesive removing liquid, denatured alcohol, or acetone will do the trick. These cleaning agents are readily available at hardware stores or in the cleaning section at grocery stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply spray a little cleaning liquid on the photo print and wipe with a soft cloth. Your print will be looking crisp once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal photo prints tend to gather dust with time. To maintain the vibrant look of your artwork, wipe off the dust <strong>at least once a month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>&#8220;I love ChromaLuxe metal prints because I spend countless hours making my images perfect, it is only right to print them in the perfect medium \u2026. &#8221; <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chromaluxe.com\/why-chromaluxe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong><em>Blake Rudis, Photographer<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as transporting the prints goes, wrapping each individual print in plastic is a fantastic way to keep the surface safe from scratches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, secure each print with tape to a piece of cardboard or wood. We recommend using a piece larger than the print to keep the edges and corners from getting chipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When transporting a large number of prints, <strong>avoid stacking them too high.<\/strong> A tall stack increases the risk of the prints falling over and getting damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure you stack the prints either face-to-face or back-to-back. This will keep the backing of the prints from scratching the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although metal photographic prints are durable, they&#8217;re still prone to fading over time when exposed to the elements. The culprits here are specifically <strong>UV rays and infrared light<\/strong> from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, we recommend limiting the exposure of these prints to direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regularly changing the location of prints displayed outdoors will help to slow down fading and keep your artwork in prime condition. Your prints will look brilliant for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you choose ChromaLuxe metal prints, you need not worry about fading.

Just be careful so as not to damage your prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some common mistakes that people make while cleaning metal prints:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Using the wrong cleaning agent:<\/strong> Harsh cleaning agents such as metal cleaner or polish can damage or remove the protective coating from metal photo prints. Instead, go for acetone, adhesive removing liquid, or denatured alcohol to safely remove grime from the prints.<\/li><li><strong>Using a grimy cloth:<\/strong> A greasy cloth not only spreads smudges around, but can also cause damage to the surface of the metal prints. Ensure your cloth or rag is clean before wiping.<\/li><li><strong>Wiping fingerprints before removing dust:<\/strong> Going straight into wiping off fingerprints while there is dust on the surface can damage the prints. Any loose grains can cause scratches as you wipe the metal prints.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>3 &#8211; Maintenance of Metal Photo Prints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shinyprints-santa-claus-metal-photo-print.jpg\" alt=\"3D Santa Claus metal photo print\" class=\"wp-image-227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shinyprints-santa-claus-metal-photo-print.jpg 650w, https:\/\/shinyprints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shinyprints-santa-claus-metal-photo-print-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike canvas and paper-based prints, metal prints require <strong>minimal ongoing maintenance<\/strong> to retain their stunning appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you display your metal photo art correctly, these prints will give you no issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common display options are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Mounting on a hanger that floats off the wall<\/li><li>Hanging on the wall using a frame without glass<\/li><li>An easel for vertical or horizontal display<\/li><li>Using standoff posts to hang the prints as signs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You only need to ensure the prints are firmly secured.
