Aluminum prints and thoughts on the library show.

I went to see the collection of pics some of you had on display at the Front Range Community College. Very nice work everyone. I'll award my "I wish that shot was in my portfolio" award to Mr. Bacon for his awesome capture from the Snowy range in Wyoming. Great Shot.

Anyways, I saw a couple of shots that were fused onto aluminum and I really like them. Great "pop" on them. I was wondering what services people are using for those?

Thanks,
Josh

I had one done by Bay Photo. http://www.bayphoto.com/bayweb/pro_metalprints.htm

I was impressed with the sharpness and color saturations. However, I did not like the high reflectivity of the glossy finish because it really limits where you can hang it. But, if you have suitable lighting it looks great. They have a satin finish option which I have not yet tried.

Thanks for the info Bill.

Tim Emerson at DuraPlaque does them too, and he does a great job of them. He is over in Greeley.

Jim, does DuraPlaq actually do dye-infused prints on aluminium, or do they just mount standard paper prints on an aluminum sheet? I've seen the later in their shop, but was not aware they could actually print onto the aluminum.

Has anyone taken any snaps of the library display? I'd sure like to see how it turned out. Duraplaqs aluminum mounts are not dye infused. The actual print is laminated to a sheet of aluminum with a border of aluminum around the print, almost looks like a mat.
Bill P...I would think a satin finish would solve the glare issue.
I have an image of an old rusty 1941 Ford stake side pick-up I was thinking of doing on aluminum.
