The HD Metal or Chromaluxe Metal Print is particularly hard-wearing. The light aluminium is as weather and water resistant your photo on metal can be making it a good choice also for the kitchen, bathroom or garden. The image on fine art archival paper is mirror-inverted on a transfer paper with Fine Art Inkjet inks. Using heat and pressure, the ink is vaporised into the special coating of the 1 mm thin Aluminum. This process is called thermal sublimation and results in exceptional colour brilliance and excellent durability.

The unusual horizontally brushed surface of the brushed Aluminium Dibond achieves an unusual and striking effect: the clear, white image areas shine a metallic shimmer and the printed coloured areas have a more matte effect. I find this finish works especially well on black and white mountain images or images where there are very simple few colours such as the blue of the sky and the white of the snow. This high quality photo print on Aluminium Dibond Butler Finish is also waterproof and suitable for protected outdoor areas.
