How do Dibond® Metal Prints differ from HD Metal Prints?

The key difference is how they are produced and the material the image is printed on. Dibond prints have the image printed directly to the surface using large UV-Flatbed printers, while HD Metal Prints use a dye-sublimation approach.

Do you print direct to the metal?

No. Instead, a process called dye sublimation is used. This turns the inks to a gaseous state that can fuse to specially coated items like the aluminum panels we use for the Chromalux Metal Prints.

Are there any special file requirements that are different with metal prints?

No. Prepare your file just like you would for any of our prints. We do recommend your file be at least 150 to 300 pixels per inch (ppi) for optimal results.

How do I clean my metal prints?

Use any non-abrasive cloth or paper towel along with a non-ammonia-based cleaner or water for best results.

Do metal prints scratch easily?

The coating on the metal is like an enamel in which the image fuses. This is quite durable; therefore, the image itself is not too likely to become scratched unless a hard or sharp object comes in contact with it. It still is wise to treat it with care.

Do you offer framing for metal prints?

Yes. You can order from a wide range of frame styles; however, in order to do this, you will need to order the “panel only” style to open the frame options. This will allow you to choose the frame you want. In additional, there are some framed styles readily available when ordering.
