color Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 <p>I need to find a source to get some prints done on aluminum. They need to be a custom size (9.5" x 12.0"). And they need to hold up in an outdoor mounting where they will be exposed to the weather. So far I have not found a company to do that work for me. Any suggestions? BTW, that custom size is important. They may be going into some existing frames and need to be that size to fit.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 <p>Can the project accommodate prints on paper, mounted to aluminum and treated for weather resistance - polyurethane, etc.? Otherwise photogravure might be a solution. I've seen cemetery memorial markers that use a photo engraving type process on metal - it seems to be pretty long lasting stuff.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_momary Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 <p>Would Adorama aluminum prints hold up?<br> While they do not offer that particular size, maybe you can custom order it?

JDMvW Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 <p>It's the weatherproof that is the crux. "Indoor" metallic prints may not be at all resistant to rain and such.</p> <p>If none of the above work out, try calling someone in your area involved in park displays and the like -- they may have a source.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_earussi1 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 <p>Why not just get some printed at the next size larger and then just cut them down?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 <p><a href="http://chromaluxe.com/find/">Here is a list </a>of sources for printing on aluminum. Bay Photo, referenced by Tim Lookingbill above, is in the list, but there are numerous others. There is more information on the same website, they produce materials used for printing on metal.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tholte Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 <p>Prints on aluminum won't hold up outside under sunlight.
