Metal Sublimation Prints
What You Need to Know
What makes metal sublimation prints special?
With our standard acrylic and metal prints, we print directly onto the surface of our substrate. Our metal sublimation prints undergo a heat process in which special dyes are transformed into gas and pressed into aluminium. The heat and pressure solidify the dye to create a permanent and long-lasting image. The dye is a part of the metal itself, rather than being on the surface.
