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!
