Metal Prints – Caleb McGinn Photography

 

About the metal prints:  In determining which metal print supplier to use, a number of factors were considered, namely price and quality.  Ultimately, I decided to give customers a couple of different choices:  A “standard” option that is great for customers who want to try out metal product but might need to stay within a specified budget.  The “ChromaLuxe” option is for those that value appearance and quality above all else, while still being reasonably priced.  I usually have anyone that is interested in metal prints to order from me directly rather than on my website, as I can typically give more options.  My Fine Art America gallery is a 3rd party website and uses their own products.  While they do have metal print options, they do not offer the same Chromaluxe metals as I do.  Pixels.com is a sister site to Fine Art America so my same products can be viewed there.  

Option 1:  Standard metal description:  This “mid-tier” metal is a great option if you are trying to stay under a specific budget.  Overall, these metals typically look great, but the print quality can vary a little bit from print to print.  The standard metals are also a bit thinner than the Chromaluxe version, making them a bit more susceptible to bending or being damaged if dropped.  However, these will still last an extremely long time if taken care of!  .  I would consider any metals ordered from FineArtAmerica to be a mid-tier grade, but not Chromaluxe.  

Option 2:  Top-tier metal description: (ChromaLuxe)  Using the latest technology, these metals are made using a top-notch dye-sublimation process on high quality ChromaLuxe metal panels, which are proven to last over 65 years.  The edges are smooth and rounded and there are a variety of quality backing options to choose from.  The resolution and clarity on these are unmatched.  Think of it as the difference between HD and 4K.  Ultimately, this product has top-notch quality at a still very reasonable price.  To order a Chromaluxe metal or to get a price quote, please contact me with the form below or email at caleb@calebmcginn.com.  The best way to view my images is at FineArtAmerica.
