Frequently asked questions about our wall art
Metal prints take photographic wall art to an entirely new level. Using a dye sublimation process images are printed on high-quality aluminum that has a white base coat. Then the image is completed with a gloss finish. The process results in amazingly bright, vivid colors and exceptional detail. Metal prints can be framed without glass, or they can be hung with a float mount.
Our mounted lustre prints are an archival quality paper print that is mounted to a styrene backing and coated with a laminate coating. Our lustre prints are ready to frame. No mat or glass is required when framing them. Mounted lustre prints have a satin (matte) look.
Metal prints offer a durable, easy to clean, waterproof surface that provide exceptional depth, vibrance, and detail in an image. A metal print can be framed without glass or hung with a float mount. A traditional glossy paper print, also, has great color and detail. However, a traditional paper print must be mounted and matted before framing behind glass.
Both metal prints and traditional paper prints provide many options to enhance a home or office with beautiful wall art. Depending on the style of frame and matting options a traditional print can give your home decor a modern feel or a more traditional one. Metal prints with a float mount give a more modern feel; however, when framed a metal print is very versatile and complements any style or decor depending on frame selection.
Due to the laminate coating, a mounted lustre print does not need to be matted or put behind glass. The laminate coating protects the print from dust and scratches. Since the image has a satin (matte) finish it is less reflective than a glossy metal print. Depending on the style of frame selected, a mounted lustre print can give a modern or traditional look.
A float mount is a gatorboard block with a sawtooth metal bracket that is mounted on the back of a metal print. It creates a modern unframed look where the metal print appears to float from the wall. A float mount provides an easy hanging option for metal prints.
