Printing on Aluminum

If you are in search of a new way to print your artwork with more originality consider having it printed directly onto Aluminum.  After the Aluminum is sanded and then coated with an ink receptive coating it can go right through the printer like a regular paper.

All the highlights in the printed image take on a silver reflective look rather than plain white.  The whole image appears to glow.  Since the metal is sanded there is a subtle pattern left over that can be seen behind the ink.

After the ink is given time to dry the final product can be framed under glass or even mounted and framed without glass.  For this sample I mounted it to a piece of wood after staining it for a low cost alternative to framing.  It looks pretty sharp!

Metallic Canvas - Now Available!

the Painted Pixel is very excited to announce the addition of Metallic Canvas to our product lineup!  Metallic Canvas is very new to the Giclée printmaking market and we are one of the very first retailers to offer this amazing new print media.  You really have to see this stuff with your own eyes to fully appreciate it.  But here are some photographs to give you an idea of how this canvas looks.

The most noticeable difference in this canvas is the metallic sheen in the highlights.  In the above image the clouds have an added depth that draws the viewer's attention.  The midtones also have a nice reflective glowing quality that is very appealing.  The yellow areas take on the appearance of having some gold in them.

This canvas is created with the same passion and standards of quality as all of our other canvases but made from an optimal blend of metallic, silver, and pearlescent surface finishes.

The top is our standard white canvas and the bottom is the new metallic.  You can begin to see the difference by comparing the highlights.  But you really have to see this canvas in person to understand the full impact it has!
