Finishes

White metal has an opaque, white coating on it, similar to white paper. Therefore, the color comes out as expected. White is the most popular finish.

Clear metal has a translucent, clear coating. The background color of the metal is a brushed silver aluminum. This surface is unpredictable due to the fact there is no white in the final print. If you are interested in clear, please order a smaller print to determine you enjoy the result.

The matte finish has a very flat feeling and a low reflective surface. Some bright lights tend to show glow rather than a reflection.

Most customers that have seen metal prints in art fairs, galleries, and other venues have seen white glossy prints. White glossy prints generally present a feeling of depth as if they can reach directly into the print. These prints also create a stronger feeling of color saturation and sharpness. If you love glossy paper prints, you will fall in love with white glossy metal prints.

Clear prints are generally ordered by mistake and are a disappointment to the buyer, unless they have been viewed or purchased before. Clear prints have a unique visual quality in bright lighting but when the lighting starts to dim, the visual appeal is lost.

It is a strong recommendation that if you are interested in the clear surface that you order a small sample first. If you order a clear print, please expect that someone from our staff will reach out to verify your purchase. Generally, we will not proceed with production until this has been clarified.
