Our new line of metal prints is here, and they rock! Now metal is available in 4 different metal surface finishes and multiple ready to display styles. Use our online ordering tool to create custom sizes as small as 8×8 up to 30×40. The “panel only” option can even be ordered with a frame! Metal prints are one of the most remarkable and easiest ways to display your work. And it is not just for photographers anymore. Every day see artists now offering their illustrations and reproductions as metal prints as well.
So, you may know that we have been offering metal prints for a while now. But last year we saw we needed to make some major changes as part of our efforts to become one of the premier locations to go to for metal prints.
Centralized Production
First, we recognized (and not just with metal) that we needed to move our metal print production to us headquarter facility so that we improve average transit time, speed up production and have better quality control. This was made possible when late last year we expanded our facility to allow us to move the production to from the East coast to San Antonio. Early this month we also we finalized the installation of the equipment need to make the manufacturing possible and the volume and size requirements needed. Most important is by being at our headquarter production facility allowed our Auxiliary Operations Manager to personally oversee the training of staff and production process for these metal prints meaning greater consistency levels.
More Surface Finishes
Second, many of our customers wanted more surface finish options so they could match metal prints they had produced elsewhere. When we studied this closer we found most other color labs have been limited to offering a white gloss like we used to do but some color labs were using other finishes. Some were using a silver gloss. Others using a white matte and others offering a silver matte. A few even offered semi-gloss versions in both the white and silver. As you can imagine, this has the potential to cause some problems if you try to order from a different lab that does not have your preferred finish, We decided based on the choices people were used to we needed to offer all the finishes.
Custom Sizes
Third, custom sizes. One of the most frustrating things for artists and fine art photographers is the lack of size options so many labs have. A few out there do a good job of offering a wide range of sizes but fewer do custom sizes. I saw this as a big problem. One of the reasons our fine art paper prints and canvas prints are so popular is we have the capability and offer custom sizes. For artists and fine art photographers which many times rely like to compose their images in uncommon aspect ratios, the custom size option is an incredible help for them, so they can minimize cropping. For photographers it also allows for popular things like panoramic on metal and square sizes. Not you can easily create a cluster of metal prints for a wall or even split a very large image across multiple metal prints.
We are extremely excited about out new line of metal prints and the options we have for them. If you want to learn more about our metal prints, checkout our metal prints page.

1. Measure the Width
- Use a tape measure to record the horizontal distance of the wall from end to end.
- If wrapping around a corner, measure each wall section separately and add the widths together.
2. Measure the Height
- Measure from the floor to the ceiling (or desired mural height).
- Use the tallest point if the floor or ceiling is uneven.
3. Note Obstacles
- Record the size and location of windows, doors, outlets, or built-in fixtures.
- Decide if the mural should cover or work around them.
4. For Corners and Wraps
- Measure both walls independently (e.g., one 8 ft wall and one 4 ft wall = 12 ft total width).
- Mark the corner clearly when submitting your measurements or design layout so the artwork aligns properly.
- Add an extra inch or two at the corner for trimming and alignment.
5. Double-Check Everything
- Re-measure each dimension to avoid sizing mistakes.
- Round up on all sides by at least 1 ft to allow for trimming during installation.
Tip: Corners can cause pattern misalignment if not planned. If using a repeating pattern, make sure the designer or installer knows it wraps around.
There is no maximum size. You can order as much printed mural or wallpaper as you need based on the wall space coverage area. For murals, keep in mind that with murals, your artwork or imagery becomes less sharp the larger you go.
Contact us if you need assistance with replacing your mural printing or wallpaper. Please review our return policy as well.
Murals will be provided in easy-to-manage tiles to accommodate the wallspace you provide when ordering. Wallpaper will be produced in rolls at specified lengths. Order online via POST to see your options.
