Aluminum Printing

As a carrier, aluminum is characterized by a unique color luster and weatherproof properties. Unique surfaces, sharp details, a refined appearance and distinctive details - the transformative properties of metal and aluminum can surprise you. At white wall, we combine an innovative, state-of-the-art printing process with the highest precision to deliver a museum-quality finish to every print.    

 

Metal or canvas prints?

Canvas is undoubtedly an excellent option. With their classic look and the warmth that surrounds your picture, canvas prints make a charming contribution to home decor. However, they have certain disadvantages. For one thing, the canvas attracts dust, which over time can build up and distort the inks. Another important consideration is how the canvas interacts with the light. Placed in the right relation to light, a canvas picture receives a certain vitality and abundance. But when the canvas is not directly under the light, and especially at night, it withdraws from the room and lets the images fade in the dark.            

However, there are no such problems with metal printing. For one, metal prints are extremely durable. They are durable and suitable for harsh climates. This makes them an ideal way to display images outdoors. Dusting is not a problem with an aluminum print - just brush it off with a microfiber cloth or chamois and it's as good as new. And when it comes to lighting, aluminum prints are more adaptable than canvas. These prints do not depend on the lighting in order to look optimal, but rather play with the lighting conditions in a certain place or at a certain time and always offer a play of contrast, reflection and shadow that is synchronized with the lighting.          

Metal or Acrylic Prints?

Acrylic prints are another amazing option and, like canvas, one of whitewall's specialties. Acrylic and metal have many properties in common, including their resistance to dust and dirt, their durability and durability, and their ability to thrive in a variety of lighting conditions. While acrylic and metallic prints are very durable, metal is a superior cut in this regard that will withstand steam, rain, or scratches better than acrylic. And unlike acrylic, which captures light under glass and gives the photo a "shiny" effect, aluminum prints are more two-dimensional and reflect the light instead of integrating it.      

What is aluminum dibond?

Aluminum Dibond is the special metal that we use for our metal prints. Aluminum dibond is a composite material: the core consists of a 1/8 inch thick polyethylene plate and is enclosed between two thin aluminum sheets. This combination is light and versatile, but also exceptionally strong. The black borders are a distinctive and modern feature that is ideal for a frameless gallery display.      

What is the difference between direct and photo printing on Dibond?

White wall offers two methods of printing an image on aluminum printing an image on aluminum dibond: direct printing on dibond and photo printing on an aluminum substrate. As the name suggests, the direct printing process uses UV fine art inks to print the image directly onto the aluminum surface. This option creates a nifty matte finish and gives the lightest parts of the image a crisp sheen . The six-color printing technique creates vivid colors and sharp details, while the choice of surface gives the print a unique finish.         

 

The aluminum dibond photo print is a traditional photo print (matt or glossy) that is mounted on the aluminum carrier plate. A selection of professional photo papers ensure excellent image quality, while the ultra-thin UV protective laminate protects the photo print from external influences. Final prints are guaranteed for 75 years on color gloss.    

HD metal print

White wall's HD metal print combines a glossy surface with an impressive, brilliant color and resistance to external influences. In a heat sublimation printing process with heat and high pressure, the image is placed on 1 mm thick coated aluminum and embedded in the coating. As a result, the image is not illuminated, but on the aluminum. Extremely strong HD metal prints are ideal for sheltered outdoor areas or more humid rooms. Because of the thin material, they are incredibly light even in larger sizes. HD Metal Print is available on three different surfaces: glossy, brushed or smooth.          

Which images look best on aluminum and metal?

In general, metal prints are a great option for almost any type of image. However, when choosing your image for an aluminum print, you need to consider its sleek, framed, modern look. White wall prints come ready to hang and the hanging system included in the price meets the standards of countless galleries around the world. The modern and pure look of the aluminum Dibond backrest is particularly suitable for architecture and urban landscapes. Brushed aluminum is a great way to highlight the metallic surfaces that appear in your pictures. The unique combination of textures makes this backdrop a great choice for industrial themes, nature photography, and landscapes with lots of white space.
