Both printing techniques use an metal panel as the base material. The metal composite panels consist of a black polyethylene core that is clad with metal on the outside. With metal direct printing, we print directly onto the metal panel using UV printing. UV curing in conjunction with metal makes the print extremely resistant to all external influences. Thanks to state-of-the-art printers, we achieve an excellent print result in direct printing, which shines in any environment. Metal direct printing produces a slightly matt print image. White areas have a metallic sheen. With metal Fineart, the first step is to print your image on photo paper using 8-color printing. In the 2nd step, this photo is laminated either matt or glossy. This ensures an appealing look and also protects your photo from scratches, water splashes and UV radiation. In the final step, your laminated photo print is laminated (glued) onto an metal panel. This gives you a perfect photo print on a high-quality metal board.
