What are Vivid Metal Prints?

My Vivid Metal Prints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. This process is referred to as Dye-Sublimation and it requires specialized equipment to produce.

Bonus!
Because my images are infused into the surface of the aluminum and not printed directly on it, the Vivid Metal Prints are provided with a permanent protection that is an ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface. It's also waterproof and can be easily cleaned!

The Results are a magical luminescence!
​You've never seen a more brilliant and impressive print! Colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. Detail and resolution are unsurpassed!

Comes Ready to Hang - Framing is not required
To complement this unique printing method, I have a wide variety of creative and modern ways to hang and display your Vivid Metal prints.
No special tools are required and typical just a screw will be just fine. (Note: I provide a special screw that works great for hanging artwork)

For my small to medium Vivid Metal Prints (under 40 inches)

​These metal prints will have a 1/2 inch spacer block with an attached hanging bracket


​ 

For my larger Vivid Metal Prints (Over 40 inches)
​
These metal prints will have an aluminum sub-frame, inset a few inches from the edge, around the metal print. This will hang from the attached hanging wire, similar to a frame or canvas print. 

Additional Options:
There may be additional framing options, please contact me for more information.

FAQ
WHAT IS DYE-SUBLIMATION?

• In the hard surface dye sublimation industry, an image is printed onto dye sublimation transfer paper using dye-based inks and then transferred onto a specially coated surface with heat and pressure. The result is stunning with vibrant color and a unique dimensional quality.

DOES MY VIVID METAL PRINT NEED TO BE FRAMED UNDER GLASS?

• No. My vivid metal print's unique coating allows it to be showcased without the need for glass. Vivid metal prints are scratch resistant, waterproof, can be touched, and are easy to clean. Actually, framing is not needed at all and without the frame they have a clean and contemporary look.   

HOW DO I CLEAN MY VIVID METAL PRINT?

• Unlike other photo print media, My Vivid Metal Prints are easy to clean. Your metal print can be cleaned with a soft cloth and water. Microfiber cloths work well damp or dry.
  
• (Please note: Window cleaner and other household cleaners may contain chemicals that can damage the metal print or possible cause premature fading.)
