Fine art metal prints are a contemporary and visually striking form of displaying artwork, photographs, or digital designs. Instead of traditional paper or canvas, these prints are created by infusing inks directly into specially coated aluminum sheets, resulting in a durable, vibrant, and modern presentation.
Fine art metal prints are typically produced on aluminum sheets, chosen for their lightweight yet durable nature. The metal provides a unique substrate that adds a modern and industrial aesthetic to the artwork.
Mounting & Hanging
Metal fine art prints arrive ready to hang with your chosen mounting system. Proper placement and secure hardware ensure the piece sits flat, level, and floats cleanly off the wall.
- Ready to hang with a float mount or standoffs
- Inset float frame for a floating, frameless look
- Metal standoffs for a modern, dimensional mount
- Lightweight aluminum, easy to handle and hang
- Level placement for a clean, professional display
- Anchor into studs or use appropriate wall anchors
- Professional installation service available
- Indoor and covered-outdoor display options
Placement & Lighting
- Hang at eye level, centered around 145–150 cm from the floor.
- Gloss finishes are vivid but can reflect; position to control glare.
- Satin and matte finishes reduce reflections in bright rooms.
- Metal prints resist moisture, so more locations are possible.
Handling & Setup
Metal prints are durable, but the surface can still scratch. Handle by the edges, keep the protective film on until installed, and avoid sliding the face across hard surfaces.
Image & File Guidelines
Metal prints reveal fine detail and luminous colour, so start with the highest-quality image possible. Supply files at full resolution, correctly colour-managed, and sized to your final dimensions.
Recommended File Formats
- High-resolution TIFF (preferred)
- High-quality JPEG (maximum quality)
- Flattened PSD
- High-resolution PDF for vector or mixed art
Recommended Resolution
- 150–300 dpi at final print size for the sharpest result.
- Larger pieces viewed from a distance can use 150 dpi.
- Avoid upscaling low-resolution or web images.
- Supply sRGB or Adobe RGB; we can soft-proof colour before printing.
Cropping, Bleed & Composition
Confirm the aspect ratio matches your chosen size so nothing important is cropped, and keep key elements away from the very edges.
- Match the image aspect ratio to the final print dimensions.
- Keep important details clear of the outer 10–15 mm.
- Provide any specific crop or focal-point instructions.
- High-quality originals give the best metal-print detail and clarity.
Finish, Colour & Depth
Dye-sublimation infuses your image into the metal for luminous, vivid colour with exceptional depth and clarity. High-gloss finishes maximize vibrancy and contrast, while satin and matte finishes soften reflections. Metallic areas of the panel can add a subtle sheen where the image is light.
Prepress and colour proofing can be performed before production. Image corrections, retouching, and file reconstruction may be subject to additional charges.

Finish & Mounting Options
Metal prints are available in high-gloss, satin, or matte finishes, and can be mounted with an inset float frame for a floating look or metal standoffs for a dimensional, contemporary mount.
Because they are waterproof and durable, metal prints suit kitchens, bathrooms, and covered outdoor areas where other media can't go.
Actual appearance depends on the image, finish, and lighting conditions.
Cleaning & Care
Metal prints are easy to care for and highly durable. A simple wipe keeps them looking brilliant, and the surface resists moisture and fading.
Recommended Cleaning
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
- Use a mild glass cleaner or water for stubborn marks
- Buff lightly to restore shine on gloss finishes
- Handle by the edges when moving the piece
Avoid
- Abrasive pads, scrapers, or rough cloths
- Harsh solvents and aggressive chemicals
- Sliding the printed face across hard surfaces
- Prolonged, intense direct sunlight for very long-term display
Handling & Display
- Keep the protective film on until the piece is installed.
- Handle by the edges with clean hands or gloves.
- Metal prints resist moisture, so kitchens and baths are fine.
- Inspect mounts and hardware periodically for larger pieces.
Expected Lifespan
Metal fine art prints are highly durable and archival, resisting scratches, moisture, and fading. With dye-sublimated colour and a protective surface, they hold their brilliance for many years indoors and in covered outdoor settings. Very prolonged, intense direct sun is best avoided for the longest life.
