Custom Exhibition Quality Prints On Metal
You owe it to yourself to try out our high definition, finely crafted, ready to hang, dye-sublimation prints on metal in virtually any size up to 40"x60". These metal prints are absolutely fantastic! Our prints are available in both the white or clear sheer base (which lets the metal show through) and in gloss, semi-gloss or matte finishes.
With these long lasting prints, there is no need for glass or acrylic when framing because of the inherent UV protection built in to the panels - this can literally save hundreds and hundreds of dollars on framing costs. They are scratch, moisture, chemical and fire resistant, perfect for large interior displays. They are easy to clean with standard cleaners. And best of all we have a full line of wonderful in-house framing options for these finely crafted prints so you can have all the steps from capture to wall display completed under one roof. Make an appointment below to come in and see samples of these new wonderful options.
