Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is aluminum sublimation printing?
Aluminum sublimation printing is a process where your image is first printed onto a special transfer paper using dye-sublimation inks. This paper is then placed on a coated aluminum sheet and subjected to high heat and pressure, causing the inks to turn into gas and bond with the aluminum surface. The result is a vibrant, high-definition print that's durable and long-lasting.
2. Why choose metal prints over canvas or paper?
Metal prints offer superior image clarity, color vibrancy, and longevity compared to traditional canvas or paper prints. They're also resistant to moisture, scratches, and fading, making them ideal for various environments, including kitchens and bathrooms.
3. Can I customize the size and layout of my metal print?
Absolutely! We offer a range of standard sizes, and we're happy to work with you on custom dimensions. Whether you're interested in a single large panel, a multi-panel display, or a unique collage, we can bring your vision to life.
4. What file formats do you accept, and what resolution is best?
We accept JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. For optimal results, we recommend images with a resolution of at least 300 DPI at the desired print size. If you're unsure about your image's quality, feel free to send it to us for a free evaluation.
5. How do I care for my metal print?
Metal prints are easy to maintain. Simply wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or cloths, as they can scratch the surface.
