If you’re interested in displaying your photos like artwork, or want posters to hang on your wall in a form that will last for years, consider metal art prints. This stylish option for printing is becoming more and more popular lately, and you’ll love some of the advantages metal prints have to offer once you start looking into the process. If you want to learn more, check out these benefits to decide if metal printing is right for your photos.
They Last Long
One of the biggest advantages of metal prints is that they last a really long time even when they’re in humid environments. When prints put on paper are put in humid places, the paper can begin to curl, and the ink can bleed, causing distortion. When you print on metal, the ink doesn’t bleed. Metal prints also hold up well when exposed to direct sunlight. In fact, the fading process on metal prints doesn’t even begin until about 100 years after they’re printed. Because metal prints are so resistant to the effects of sunlight and moisture, you can put your prints in bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms that get a lot of sunlight without worrying that your print will be ruined.
You Can Clean Them Easily
If something is spilled on a canvas print, whatever was spilled is likely to bleed into the canvas. And if you try to clean something off of the surface of the canvas, you could just spread the stain. Metal prints have a coating on top of the dye that protects the print, so you can easily wipe off the metal with water, and a rag or isopropyl alcohol is another great cleaning product because it cleans off fingerprints without leaving streaks.
Metal Prints are Resistant to Scratches
This might surprise you, but metal prints are scratch-resistant, making them easy to hang and not worry about some of the more usual dangers of wear and tear. They’re also lightweight because they’re made with aluminum, so you don’t have to worry about hanging something that’s very heavy and is likely to fall. And when you’re interested in finding a frame and mounting your metal print, you’ll love that metal prints work well with traditional frames, but they also look contemporary and current when you mount your metal print by itself.
If you’re ready to find a better way to display your favorite photographs of friends and family or even a digital print of some artwork, try out metal printing. You’ll love your prints for years to come, but you’ll also get to enjoy the beauty and convenience that a metal print provides right away.
