Metal prints Mounting Framing Souvenirs

Metal print is a modern way to present a photo on the wall. The dyes are infused directly into thin sheet of metal, and give vibrant, deep colors with distinct popping effect and slight metallic shine. There's no paper involved. A metal print resembles metallic paper under acrylic glass, however it is a lot more scratch resistant, significantly ligther, waterproof, and easily cleanable.

Metal prints come with a hanging system and are ready to be placed on the wall.

They can be selected in the Wall Art category. Additional options (upon request) are:

- Large wall clusters
- Framed metal prints
- Low-reflective mid-gloss surface (optimal when there's a window right in front of the print)

One of the best and economical ways to present a paper-based print is to leave it exposed to the view directly (no glass) and having it professionally mounted on a perfectly flat surface. Thus mounting offers the best viewing experience and preserves the effect created by particular paper type, especially if it's glossy or metallic.

You can select mounting options through paper prints and follow the menu directions during checkout process.

Take into account that paper is susceptible to fingerprints, UV discoloration, moisture damage, degradation due to corrosive chemicals in the air, and dust.
Prints cannot be cleaned or easily restored. That is why in some instances protection is needed (such as glass or protective spray). If you intend to hang the print next to the kitchen, bathrooms, areas exposed to direct sunlight, or you expect them to be touched, become covered with dust, protection is a must. Unprotected print won't conserve its glory for more than 1-3 years in those types of surroundings.

Use any of the options available to ensure your prints will last for decades. Take into account that finishes significantly reduce the wow factor of metallic paper, particularly the satin finish. Satin finish also eliminates glare. Simple protective coating is recommended for metallic paper.

Framing is what used to be a traditional (and pricey) way of presenting a print: having it inside a frame under a sheet of acrylic glass. Acrylic glass preserves and enhances vibrant colors and delivers realistic 3D-like reflections.

We strongly discourage from buying regular cheap glass frames that simply destroy the whole point of having a top quality art print.

The website offers numerous types of acrylic frames, including stylish metal ones. If you add a mat, you will create additional space between the frame and the print. Acrylic windows (frameless glass) can be discussed individually.

In order to select frames, chose paper prints and follow menu options in the checkout:

Photo gifts are perfect souvenirs for marine biolgoists, divers, or simply those who love the reef. Images can be printed on phone covers, mugs, mouse pads, coasters, postcards, magnets, calendars, etc.

You can order several types of gifts from our store.

If you are considering a paper-based prints, you can chose from luster and metallic paper.

Paper type is a personal choice and there's no such thing as a correct or best one. Metallic paper presents rich, deep, and vibrant colours. However it is highly reflective. Luster paper is not reflective, however it does not have the wow factor of the metallic media. Talk to us and we'll tell you what fits your vision.

What's the deal of reflective surfaces being popular? Everything that has the best colours, sharpness, and contrast is reflective. If reflections are a major issue, simply ask us a question, and we will give recommendations for art lights.

Take into account that unframed/unmounted paper prints offered as an option are meant for those seeking alternative framing options through a professional service or for skilled photographers with mounting experience.

If you are looking for ways to save money, opt for mounting following the instructions above. We strongly discourage from buying cheap glass frames from the nearest supermarket. Only look for products from specialized art and photo stores. Framing by yourself without experience is challenging, frustrating, and often results in poor presentation of a bent and unevenly attached sheet of paper.
