Method Of Aluminum Print Making?

This is the only description of the process that I know of:

"Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum. The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results."

Since I prefer mat finishes, I've never purchased a print through Pixels/FAA.

Thanks Chuck!

Good question Bryan.
I just finished reading about a method of printing on metal different from dye sub. Direct, as you said and with aqueous inks, Breathing Color is offering it on Epson printers. It will be interesting to see how the competition heats up and shakes out. Does one cost less to print, etc? It looks like the images are better color with the Breathing Color system than the dye sub. I'm sure there are draw backs too however.

It's not only the quality but also the print permanence that people are interested in.

For sublimation, at least using the latest Chromaluxe panels, the quality of an image according to the Wilhelm research institute can reach over 50 years.

But printing directly on a metal surface with pigments looks interesting. David, I googled what you wrote. I had never heard of that before.
