If you want to display your art on the wall, metal prints are the best option available. Whether you are a photographer, a digital artist, or are an artist in another medium who wants your original art printed, custom metal prints are the way to go. What is a metal print?
If you aren’t familiar with metal wall art prints, they are photos that are printed on paper, with a special ink, that are then transferred to a unique metal known as ChromaLuxe. ChromaLuxe metal is a modern luxurious print option, with a High-Definition glass-like finish. Both lightweight and durable, metal prints for your wall art offer stunning unmatched vibrant color, detail, and depth. Let’s talk about some ways in which metal wall art prints are superior to acrylic or canvas.
Superior finish
If finish is important for your wall art, metal prints are the perfect choice. Because of the creation process, metal prints are renowned for their color vibrancy, and inherent sharpness. In a metal print, your wall art infuses into the metal itself for a finish that can’t be beat. Photo Blog FreeYork.org says, “The stunning appearance of metal prints magnifies the beauty of almost any photo, from ordinary to extraordinary. Because the image is imbued into the aluminum sheet, it becomes clearer and more radiant.”
Durable
Compared to either canvas or acrylic, metal prints are much more durable. While acrylic is tough, it can absolutely scratch. Canvas can tear or be affected by humidity or weather. Printing your wall art on metal will make it easy to clean, hard to scratch, and nearly impossible to break. Fade resistant, waterproof, and scratch free, your custom metal print will last for decades.
Easy to hang
Because metal prints don’t need frames, your wall art will be easy to hang. They are available with a variety of hanging options, and weigh less than a framed photo, or a canvas or acrylic print. All of this means that your metal wall art print will be easy to hang, easy to relocate, and easy to swap out for other prints in the future.
Multiple finishes
As we have discussed before on our blog, metal wall art prints come in a range of finishes, including:
- High-gloss: “Perfect for printing portraits with accurate skin tones, vivid landscapes, and any color-rich art leaving you with a finished product that looks just as good, if not better than how you see it on your screen.”
- Semi-gloss: “Great for portraits, landscapes, and color-rich art with diminished reflective glare.”
- Sheer metallic gloss: “This finish is perfect for landscapes, still lives, black and white or monochromatic images, images with specular highlights, or reflective surfaces.”
This means that metal prints offer variety that acrylic or canvas prints simply can’t match. And the very best part is that it is easy to order your metal prints online. So now that you are ready to switch all of your wall art to metal prints–create yours today!
