Print On Brushed Aluminum: A Matte Finish With Metallic Highlights

Our state-of-the-art 7-color print creates a matte finish without reflections [1] . In our direct print on brushed aluminum, the white parts of the image are not printed, so the brushed surface really shines through. It is also very visible in the other bright areas of the image, giving the piece an overall metallic sheen [2]. The high-quality print is waterproof and resilient.

Printed areas: glare-free matte finish
White and very bright areas: metallic shimmer from the brushed aluminum surface

Direct Print On Brushed Aluminum Dibond: Rich Colors And High Resolution

In our Direct Print On Brushed Aluminum, your photo is printed straight onto the brushed surface of a 1/8" (3 mm) thick composite panel. In this state-of-the-art, 7-color printing process, we use UV Fine Art inks for a matte finish. The brighter parts of the image are not printed at all, meaning the brushed aluminum remains visible and creates a metallic sheen.

High saturation: the 7-color print ensures great coverage, even for large areas of a single color
Finesse: a great color gamut for reproducing the minutest details

Extravagance for that extra special picture: Direct prints on brushed aluminum

The same question keeps cropping up when it comes to photos: Do you want to trust in the effect of the image itself – or do you add an external enhancer to support its intention? The latter would work by using a frame to add focus, laminating under acrylic glass for more depth of field or by adding a particular highlight – like a metallic sheen or a striking finish. A direct print on brushed aluminum presents your work with both of these characteristics, for an extravagant accent. Of course this would not be the right choice for every image. But for some it definitely would be: An eye-catching product for very special images. The horizontally brushed aluminum surface shines through in white and very light-colored areas, giving the entire image a contemporary matt look. A metallic sheen appears in the brighter areas.

Metallic sheen in the brighter areas: In prints on brushed aluminum

This effect is particularly striking for the presentation of free-standing objects or for images containing metallic surfaces. Here at WhiteWall, we use state-of-the-art inks for the very best print quality. Applied as a 7-color print, the inks are cured under UV light to form a matt surface. The procedure additionally protects the print against dirt and splash water, and the colors keep their brilliance. A direct print on brushed aluminum Dibond is therefore also suitable for roofed outdoor areas and bathrooms. However, if the image requires a return to basics and its presentation demands a traditional photo print, we can offer you an original photo print laminated onto robust aluminum Dibond. Our great selection of photo papers offers you the print options you need to make the best of your image. Our protective laminate ensures that these works are well protected – but they are not suitable for outside areas or bathrooms.

Alternatives for brushed aluminum: Aluminum Dibond or HD metal print

Less extravagant but just as robust is our direct print on aluminum Dibond. Its matt finish has a more subtle effect and the light-colored areas will only have a slight sheen. HD metal print is a premium print process using a specialist procedure called dye sublimation, in which the image is burned into the aluminum coating. The result is a glossy look with incredibly rich colors that is also extremely robust. These prints can be presented outdoors long-term – it will not be damaged and is often used for color-intensive images with rich contrast that are meant to maintain their brilliance for a long time to come – a HD metal print will look bright and colorful whatever the weather. Do your photograph justice and look to WhiteWall for the best possible medium to present it. Once you have made your choice, we guarantee the best possible quality – long-term.
