The luxurious appearance given to pictures as well as their longevity and durability truly make metal prints a great choice for photographers, artists, other creatives, and consumers. Here are some basic things you need to learn when you want to order customized metal prints.

Types of Finish

You can select how your photos will look based on their style, where you’re going to place the metal photo prints, and personal preference. The following is a rundown on the kinds of finish you can choose from.  

Gloss White 

Also called high gloss finish, gloss white is good for any type of print, but it’s especially great for color-rich images which hues need to be captured accurately. This finish gives images the sharpest details because of the contrasts that provide the deepest blacks and whitest whites. 

High gloss metal prints are very reflective that they have a mirror-like quality. They’re best displayed in rooms with controlled lighting to avoid too much glare. 

Satin White

If you don’t want your metal prints to be very shiny or reflective, opt for satin white or semi-gloss finish. Satin white is also great for color-rich images because it shares the qualities of high gloss finish. It’s only muted but not quite matte. Matte finish diminishes a lot of glare and life of photos.  

You can choose semi-gloss for wedding pictures, landscapes, and other types of images that you want to have visual depth yet not appear overly glossy.

Gloss Metal

Sheer metallic gloss or gloss metal is a clear finish over the aluminum. It doesn’t have a white base, which means the image is directly infused into the metal. The resulting images will be darker, so it’s advisable to adjust the saturation of colors and brightness.

This type of finish gives photographs an edgy metallic look as you can actually see the grains of aluminum. Monochromatic or black and white images, landscapes, still lives, and pictures with specular highlights like waters or shiny objects such as cars are perfect for metallic gloss finish.   

Sizes and Shapes

Choosing the right print size can be complex, especially with the images that are being created nowadays. Customized metal prints introduce several sizes that accommodate various aspect ratios. For instance, 2:3 is commonly produced now, which has a longer height than width.

There’s also a variety of shapes for metal prints like circle, rectangle, and square that offer a different, unique, and fun factor to your decor and photo collections.
