Is there a minimum order quantity?
Nope! You can order just one or as many as you need. Whether you’re creating a custom gift, testing a new design, or fulfilling an order for your online store, we’ve got you covered.
However, you can likely save when ordering in bulk since many of our products have built in volume discounts.

• How do Dibond® Metal Prints differ from HD Metal Prints?

How do Dibond® Metal Prints differ from HD Metal Prints?
The key difference is how they are produced and the material the image is printed on.  Dibond prints have the image printed directly to the surface using large UV-Flatbed printers, while HD Metal Prints use a dye-sublimation approach. Dibond prints are great for general graphics and are more versatile in where they can be displayed, while HD Metal Prints are more likely to be used to print photos and fine art.
More detailed information on how they differ can be found in our blog:

• Do you print direct to the metal?

Do you print direct to the metal?
No. Instead, a process called dye sublimation is used. This turns the inks to a gaseous state that can fuse to specially coated items like the aluminum panels we use for the Chromalux Metal Prints.

• Do metal prints scratch easily?
×
Do metal prints scratch easily?
The coating on the metal is like an enamel in which the image fuses. This is quite durable; therefore, the image itself is not too likely to become scratched unless a hard or sharp object comes in contact with it. It still is wise to treat it with care.

• Do you offer framing for metal prints?
×
Do you offer framing for metal prints?
Yes. You can order from a wide range of frame styles; however, in order to do this, you will need to order the “panel only” style to open the frame options. This will allow you to choose the frame you want. In additional, there are some framed styles readily available when ordering.
