Metalography has been in town 13-years and has some seriously dazzling staying power. A combination of digital image technology and aluminum, the infusion of artwork and photographs onto lightweight sheets of the earth’s thirteenth element has given printing a long-lasting leap forward in the 21st century, according to the owners of Metalography.
So long-lasting, that if you get your wedding photos processed the metal-infused way, your great-great-grandkids will find those images just as sharp and colorful and honeymoon-fresh as the day you got them printed!
Metalography, which opened a mostly client-only based business, uses a 400-degree Fahrenheit heating process that infuses photo images using transfer paper and hybrid dyes into specially coated aluminum sheets of high gloss white, white matte, high gloss silver, and silver matte.
What you get by using image infusion process isn’t anything like what traditional printing procedures do,” says ower Russell Holcombe. “Not only do the colors get more of a boost than the colors in printed images on paper, but prints created traditionally fade after a number of years. Our products, which are also lightweight and waterproof and can be displayed outdoors, will hold their colors fifty times longer than images printed on photo paper.”
Photographers are always trying to reproduce the particular lighting that they see when they take photos, but that effect usually gets lost with the paper printing process. Printing on metal captures that light because it naturally gives a ‘backlit’ effect. The metal adds luminescence to the image, and that absolutely thrills photographers.
“When you consider that our images don’t need to be framed or don’t need special non-glare, UV-resistant glass or anything else that goes with framing a photo or piece of art, our products are very affordable,” said Holcombe. “All you need to do is hang them up!”
Whether it’s a triptych of your Tahiti trip or drink coasters showing off your latest watercolor paintings or a sofa-sized shot of Sonoma, it’s very easy to get your print done by Metalography. All you need to do is upload a good-quality-resolution digital photo to the company’s website, follow instructions, or call if you have any questions.
