ChromaLuxe Metal Prints


ChromaLuxe metal prints are high-quality photo prints on aluminum panels. The image is infused into the metal using a heat transfer process, resulting in vibrant colors, sharp details, and durability. These prints are scratch-resistant, water-resistant, and have a sleek, modern look, making them ideal for both home and gallery displays.


 

 

 

ChromaLuxe metal prints are created through a specialized process that ensures vibrant, long-lasting images. Here’s how it works:

  1. Image Preparation: The chosen image is first prepared and optimized digitally to achieve the best color and detail.
  2. Sublimation Printing: The prepared image is then printed onto a special transfer paper using dye-sublimation inks. This step involves high-resolution printing to ensure the finest details are captured.
  3. Heat Transfer: The transfer paper is placed onto a pre-coated aluminum panel. The panel is then subjected to high temperatures (around 400°F) and pressure in a heat press. This process allows the dyes to turn into gas and infuse into the metal’s surface.
  4. Cooling and Finishing: Once the heat press cycle is complete, the panel cools down, solidifying the dye into the metal. This results in a durable, scratch-resistant print with vibrant colors and sharp detail.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Dye Sublimation?

In the hard-surface dye sublimation industry, an image is printed onto dye sublimation transfer paper using dye-based inks and then transferred onto a specially coated surface with heat and pressure. The result is stunning with vibrant color and a unique dimensional quality.

Do ChromaLuxe metal prints need to be framed under glass?

No. ChromaLuxe’s unique coating allows prints to be showcased without the need for glass. ChromaLuxe metal prints are scratch resistant, waterproof, can be touched, and are easy to clean.

How should ChromaLuxe prints be cleaned?

Unlike other photo print media, ChromaLuxe metal prints are easy to clean. The metal prints can be cleaned with a cloth and any all-purpose household cleaner. The cleaner can be sprayed directly on the surface of the print and then wiped with a cloth as needed.

How long will ChromaLuxe metal prints last?

ChromaLuxe metal prints were tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research and achieved a permanence rating of more than 60 years using two distinct ink sets. This rating is more than three times better than silver-halide photo papers.
