Do your customers order metallic prints?

My lab recently started offering metallic prints, so I ordered a few to see

how they look. I got about a dozen from an engagement shoot I did a couple of

week ago. I was more impressed with the black and white than with the color

prints. My question is, do you have a lot of customers asking for metallic

prints? Also, do you show your bride & groom different finishes- glossy,

lustre, etc. when you're showing them your work so they can consider what they

might want as a final product? All of my proofs I do in matte finish and

customers have only ever purchased glossy or matte from me before. Thanks!

We've had a few metallic print orders. I agree, that the B/W metallics look nice. I prefer them over the color ones. With metallic color prints, use lower contrat images.

I love metallic for animal pictures, but no people. Mpix suggests that you don't use them for people pics.

I like the metallics, but have had the metallic material peel off the paper...what can I do to prevent that?? I don't want to sell metallic prints to someone, and have them come back to me a week later with a big old gouge in the print.

 

Anyone do metallic prints in albums? I had a request for that last week, but because of the sensitivity of the paper I'm afraid to do it.
