Due to modern technological advancement, the image printing industry has experienced a lot of diversity over the years. This has been in an effort to preserve memories in proper clear condition for a long time. Consequently, transition by experts in this field from papers prints to metal photo prints has been observed in recent times. Positioning of the image creates one of the biggest differences between these two methods of printing.

Conditions likely to destroy the elegance of an image or photograph are inhibited by using the modern process of printing. In this case, how the image is positioned on the surface creates the distinctive factor. Primarily because paper printing embraces the infusion on photographs onto the paper sheet surface, while on the other hand the metallic printing involves embedding the image into the metallic sheet such as that of aluminum.

Photographs or images are likely to be touched by people who love watching artwork products. Consequently, this can leave behind traces of dust, dirt, smudge or blemish on the surface of the product, which may inhibit the elegance of the image. Nevertheless, images infused using the printing method utilizes special polymers, which acts as a hard shell that resist abrasion. In addition, using specialized products for cleaning of such dirt or dust on surfaces can be achieved due to its resistance to liquids.

In terms of quality, photographs printed using this modern method possess a modern-day appeal that is rare and fresh in the market. Therefore, most artwork lovers are usually intrigued when they spot art printed using the metallic method. Further, this method of printing can be adopted into various shapes that include regular rectangular panels and multi panel murals. This makes it a flexible method.

Metallic printing method preserves images in fine quality that can be compared to high definition television unlike paper printing. Images printed using this modern method possess quality color saturation, which improves the appearance of all the minor details in a certain photograph or image. Therefore, this method creates a unique channel to keep images looking new for a longer period.

Ultra violet rays are responsible for causing damage on images printed on paper due to fading or bleaching. However, when it comes to the modern process of using metallic sheets such as aluminum, the sublimation creates a hard surface, which is capable of shielding the image from such harmful rays apart from scratch. The shiny surface or coat is responsible for enhancing the appearance of the photograph.

Metals such aluminum, which is highly regarded for such type of printing, is very light in terms of weight. This makes images made from this method easy to move from place to place with minimal effort. Consequently, they are very easy to hang on walls despite of the rigid nature of aluminum. Outing such images on corner standoffs creates a modern-day look.

For is capable of damaging paper artwork within no time. However, for metallic printing, the aluminum sublimate is highly tolerant against very hot conditions such as those created by fire. Hence, this is very essential in preserving highly expensive artwork displayed in corporate or art galleries for public viewing.
