Custom Metal Prints let you transform your own photo, illustration, or digital artwork into a bold, modern piece of wall art on 1mm dye-sublimated aluminum with heat-infused ink. The dye-sublimation process bonds color directly into the aluminum surface — producing crisp detail, strong contrast, and a smooth gloss finish with a slim contemporary profile that requires no frame.

What You Can Print on Metal

Metal is the ideal surface for photography, high-contrast digital art, gaming and pop culture imagery, automotive and action subjects, landscapes, and any design where clean lines and saturated color need to stand out. The rigid aluminum substrate gives prints a premium, architectural quality that works equally well in home offices, living rooms, commercial spaces, and entertainment setups.

Each order is reviewed by our production team for resolution, crop alignment, and clarity before printing begins. If we spot an issue that would affect print quality, we'll reach out before proceeding.

File Requirements & Resolution Guidelines

Submit the highest-resolution version of your file. We accept JPG, PNG, PDF, and TIFF formats. For best results, your file should be at least 150 DPI at the intended print size, with 300 DPI preferred for sharp detail. Files below minimum resolution may result in visible softness or pixelation at larger sizes — our team will flag this during review.

You must own the image or hold the rights to reproduce it. We do not print copyrighted material without documented authorization from the rights holder.

Metal Print Sizes & Display Ideas

Custom Metal Prints are available in ten sizes from 8×8 through 30×40 — check the individual product listing for the full size menu and current availability. The slim profile and frameless design make Metal prints especially effective in modern and minimalist interiors, gallery walls, and spaces where a clean edge-to-edge look is preferred.

Metal options include hanging hardware, so your print arrives ready to display.

Metal Print Care Instructions

Display your Metal print indoors, away from prolonged direct sunlight, excess moisture, and high heat. For routine cleaning, use a soft dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials, liquid sprays applied directly to the surface, and prolonged exposure to humidity, which can affect the aluminum substrate over time.
