Compare Surfaces
White Base vs. Clear Base
- White Base Metal Prints take your bright, vivid colors to the next level. We recommend pairing with nature shots, such as landscapes, water, flowers, and animals. White Base is our most popular metal photo print option and the best way to achieve vibrant skin tones on aluminum—making it ideal for portrait and wedding metal wall art.
- Clear Base Metal Prints show the raw brushed aluminum texture through your image. This makes industrial subjects, such as cars, motorcycles, and cityscapes, look incredible as aluminum art prints.
Exterior Metal Prints
Designed for display in direct sunlight or the outdoors without fading.
These exterior aluminum prints offer an identical appearance to our High Gloss White Base Metal Prints with extra UV-resistant durability, making them ideal for outdoor metal wall art, signage, patio displays, or studio windows exposed to direct sun.

FAQs
Have Questions? We Have Answers
A metal print is a photograph printed directly onto aluminum using a dye sublimation process. Your image is infused into a specially coated aluminum sheet, creating a vibrant, durable display with exceptional color depth and detail.
Unlike traditional photo prints on paper, metal photo prints have a luminous quality that makes colors pop. The aluminum surface creates a modern, frameless look that makes metal prints a popular choice for contemporary wall art and professional photography displays.
White Base Metal Prints have a smooth, opaque coating that produces bright, vivid colors similar to traditional photo prints. This option is best for portraits, nature photography, and any image where accurate skin tones matter. White base is our most popular choice.
Clear Base Metal Prints allow the raw brushed aluminum texture to show through lighter areas of your image, creating a metallic, industrial look. This works beautifully for automotive photography, cityscapes, architecture, and black-and-white images.
We offer three finish options: High Gloss, Semi-Gloss, and Matte. High Gloss provides maximum reflection and color vibrancy—ideal for bold, eye-catching displays. Semi-Gloss offers rich colors with reduced glare, making it versatile for any lighting. Matte finish minimizes reflections while maintaining vibrant colors, perfect for areas with direct lighting.
All finishes are available on white base metal prints, while clear base is only offered in High Gloss and Matte.
Metal prints are exceptionally durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. The dye sublimation process infuses your image into the aluminum coating, making it resistant to fading, moisture, and scratches. Reduce exposure to UV-light to keep them from fading.
For outdoor or high-sunlight areas, we offer Exterior Metal Prints with UV-resistant coatings designed to withstand direct sunlight without fading. These are ideal for outdoor signage or studio window displays.
Metallic printing refers to the process of printing images onto metal surfaces, typically aluminum. At WHCC, we use dye sublimation—a process where heat and pressure transfer your image directly into the aluminum coating, creating a permanent, vibrant print.
The term "metallic printing" can also refer to metallic photo papers, but true Metal Prints offer superior durability and a distinctive luminous quality that paper-based metallic prints cannot match.
Metal Prints and metal posters refer to the same type of product—images printed on aluminum sheets. "Metal poster" is often used for artwork, graphics, and decorative pieces, while "metal print" typically describes photographic prints on metal.
At WHCC, our metal prints work beautifully for both photography and artwork. With sizes ranging from 4×6" to 40×60" and larger if needed, they're suitable for everything from small desk displays to large statement wall art.
Metal Prints excel with bold, colorful images. Landscapes, nature photography, and vibrant portraits pop beautifully on white base metal. The luminous surface enhances blues in ocean and sky images, and makes greens in foliage look incredibly rich.
For industrial subjects—cars, motorcycles, architecture, and cityscapes—clear base metal adds a dramatic metallic texture. Black-and-white photography also looks stunning on clear base, with the aluminum adding dimension to tonal contrasts.
We offer several hanging options to suit your style. Float Mounts create a clean, modern look with your print appearing to float off the wall. Metal Posts provide an industrial aesthetic with standoffs at each corner. Inset Metal Frames offer a contemporary floating profile with the frame set back from the edge.
Smaller prints can include easel backs for tabletop display or magnet backs for refrigerator mounting. All hanging hardware arrives pre-installed—simply mount the needed bracket to your wall and hang.
Metal Prints are easy to maintain. For routine cleaning, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface. For fingerprints or smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild glass cleaner.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or rough cloths that could scratch the surface. Never use ammonia-based cleaners on metal prints, as they can damage the coating over time.
Standard Metal Prints are designed for indoor display. However, our Exterior Metal Prints feature a specialized UV-resistant coating that withstands direct sunlight and outdoor conditions without fading.
Exterior Metal Prints have the same vibrant appearance as our High Gloss White Base option but with enhanced durability for outdoor signage, patio displays, or studio windows exposed to direct sun.
Metal prints are available in sizes from 4×6" up to 40×60". We offer standard sizes including popular options like 8×10", 11×14", 16×20", 20×30", 24×36", and many more.
Need a custom size? Contact us for a quote—we can accommodate special dimensions for unique projects, including sizes larger than 40×60" or specific framing requirements.
Metal prints and canvas prints offer distinctly different aesthetics. Aluminum photo prints have a modern, vibrant look with luminous colors and sharp detail—ideal for contemporary metal wall art and bold imagery. Canvas prints have a classic, artistic feel with a textured surface that softens images slightly.
Metal prints are more durable and moisture-resistant, making them the better choice for kitchens, bathrooms, studios, and commercial spaces. For professional photographers, metal prints also offer a premium product option that clients can't easily replicate through consumer print services.
Dye sublimation metal printing is the process used to create professional metal prints. Instead of applying ink on top of a surface like traditional printing, dye sublimation uses heat and pressure to infuse dyes directly into a specially coated aluminum sheet. The dyes transition from a solid to a gas and permanently bond with the aluminum coating, producing colors that are exceptionally vibrant and resistant to fading, moisture, and scratches. This is why dye sublimation metal prints maintain their vivid appearance for decades—your image becomes part of the metal itself, not a layer sitting on top of it.
Absolutely. Metal prints are one of the most popular forms of metal wall art for both residential and commercial spaces. Every metal photo print arrives ready to hang with your choice of mounting hardware—float mounts for a modern floating effect, inset metal frames for a gallery look, or metal posts for an industrial finish. The lightweight aluminum construction makes them easy to hang on any wall, and the durable, fade-resistant surface means your metal wall art will look stunning for years without the need for glass or additional framing.
The quality of a metal print depends on three factors: the aluminum substrate, the printing process, and the finishing. The best metal prints use a thick, rigid aluminum sheet with a multi-layer specialty coating designed for dye sublimation. Cheap alternatives often use thin, flexible aluminum with basic coatings that produce muted colors and less detail. At WHCC, our aluminum photo prints are produced on premium-grade coated aluminum using professional dye sublimation equipment calibrated for photographic accuracy. Each metal print is finished with your choice of surface—High Gloss, Semi-Gloss, or Matte—and arrives with professional mounting hardware, ready to display.
