Luminous Wall Art, Infused Into Aluminum
Metal prints aren't printed on anything. Your image is infused as dye directly into a coated aluminum panel, so the picture lives inside the surface instead of sitting on top of it — which is why colors look lit from within and fine detail stays razor sharp.
The sealed, non-porous surface is waterproof, weatherproof and scratch-resistant, so metal holds up in rooms most wall art can't handle — kitchens, bathrooms, covered porches, busy hallways. It wipes clean with a damp cloth. Independent light-stability testing puts the image life at two to four times that of traditional photographic paper. Keep it out of direct sunlight and it will look the same in a decade as it does the day you hang it.
Choose from four distinct surfaces, from brilliant high gloss to translucent metallics, in sizes from 4x6 up to 40x60. Every print arrives ready to hang, with float mounts, inset frames and standoff posts available. The aluminum itself is post-consumer recycled and fully recyclable.
Whether it's a landscape that deserves to glow, a gallery wall that needs to feel modern, or a piece for a space where paper wouldn't survive — upload your image and see it come to life.

All four surfaces use the same infused aluminum process, so color accuracy and detail are identical across them. What changes is how the surface handles light — and, on the two sheer options, whether the bare metal becomes part of your image. Start with the room: bright, window-facing walls want a low-sheen surface. Then look at your image.
Gloss
A brilliant white, high-gloss surface with the deepest blacks, the most saturated color and the sharpest apparent detail of the four. This is what most people picture when they imagine a metal print, and it works with any subject. It's also the most reflective — give it a wall that isn't facing a window or a bright fixture.
Satin
The same color and detail on a smooth, very even surface that scatters light instead of mirroring it. Minimal glare. The safe choice for a bright room, a hallway lit from overhead, or anywhere the piece will be viewed from an angle.
Sheer Glossy
Printed on a translucent base, so bare aluminum shows through the lighter areas of your image and highlights take on a real metallic shine. Spectacular on sunsets, water, city lights and anything with strong contrast. Not for portraits or images with large white areas — see the note below.
Sheer Satin
The same metallic translucency as Sheer Glossy with the glare pulled back. Built for landscapes, architecture and high-contrast work hanging in rooms with a lot of ambient light. The same caution applies.
A note on the sheer surfaces
There is no white ink in this process. On a sheer print, anything white in your photo reads as bare silver aluminum rather than white, and skin tones can pick up a metallic cast. That's exactly what makes them stunning on a sunset — and exactly why we don't recommend them for portraits, group photos, wedding images, or anything with large white areas like snow, clouds or a white background. Still unsure? Stop by either store — we keep samples of all four on hand.
Print Surfaces
Every metal print is made by infusing dye directly into a coated aluminum panel, so the image lives in the surface rather than on it. The surface you choose changes how that image reads—how much light it throws back, how deep the blacks fall, and whether the aluminum itself becomes part of the picture.
