Through dye sublimation, images are infused onto aluminium, which creates the longest lasting photo medium in the world. Metal print is gaining popularity as the print medium of choice for professional photographers, and many photography exhibitors are now presenting their work on metal prints in art galleries.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the nature of the material, the photo shows up brighter and the colours are more vibrant. They also have a certain lustre to them and the colours just seem to &#8220;pop&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>As compared to paper, they are also stronger, scratch-proof, water-proof. This means your print stays vibrant for a long time, much much longer than paper prints!<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; in the realm of photo prints, metal prints are basically immortal???<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-3900 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/07\/giphy2.gif?resize=500%2C250\" alt=\"giphy2\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/yidUzHnBk32Um9aMMw\/giphy.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Giphy<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What do they look like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-4358 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/printforfunsg.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/07\/metalhero.jpg?resize=980%2C531\" alt=\"metalhero\" width=\"980\" height=\"531\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.printforfun.sg\/Productpages\/MetalPrints\">Print For Fun<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A.W.E.S.O.M.E.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/ab00aa_398f7924a3c14d80bfa5fe504ab7528c~mv2_d_4032_3024_s_4_2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_511,h_383,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01\/ab00aa_398f7924a3c14d80bfa5fe504ab7528c~mv2_d_4032_3024_s_4_2.webp?w=980&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russellwiltshire.com\/single-post\/2017\/02\/11\/Metal-Prints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russell Wiltshire<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned before, the photo is printed directly onto aluminium which produces stunning visuals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>shiny<\/li>\n<li>smooth<\/li>\n<li>flat<\/li>\n<li>premium feel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Metal prints gives the highest-quality premium presentation for your favorite images.
