About Metal Prints

McKay’s images are also available printed on metal, a modern and striking presentation for David’s beautiful photographs. These durable, archival metal prints have a vibrant luminescence. People seeing a metal print for the first time often think that the print is backlit.

Metal Prints offer a new medium for displaying your best photos and digital art. Because the dyes are infused deeply into the specially coated metal, the prints have a unique luminosity. You've never seen a more brilliant and vibrant print!

Metal Prints are archival, scratch-resistant and waterproof making them ideal for any high traffic area, even kitchens or bathrooms or any high traffic area. Images printed with this process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight.

Metal Finishes

Metal prints are available in two finishes, Gloss or Satin (semi-gloss). Deciding upon which level of gloss is a highly personal matter. While gloss is used by the majority of our customers because of its extraordinary luminosity, if glare is a problem (lots of windows), then Satin might be a better choice. We find that glare is more of an issue with larger sizes than small sizes.

Gloss, brilliant white high gloss surface for unsurpassed detail and vibrance. Our most popular surface.

Satin, similar color intensity and detail as our High Gloss option, with reduced glare.
