The Process:  Your image is printed on transfer paper using a dye-sublimation printer. The print is then placed onto the Chromaluxe metal and placed into a heat press which causes the dyes from the transfer paper to transform into a gas. These dyes are pressed into the surface of the metal, and as the metal cools, the dyes return to their solid state, becoming permanently infused into the aluminum substrate. Metal prints are easy to clean and are also temperature and moisture-resistant. Thickness:  .045″ Finish/Appearance:  Glossy/vibrant in appearance.  Slightly rounded corners. Backing/Hanging:  Full aluminum subframe with french-cleat hanging.  All hardware provided.  Floats from the wall 3/4″. Sizes:  8×12 to 40×60. Disclaimer:  The special coating on the Chromaluxe prints can at times show subtle imperfections which at regular viewing distance would typically not be seen.  We do everything we can to avoid obviously imperfect metal particularly when it can’t be hidden within the image.  Please note we can’t redo metal prints based on subtle imperfection
