PMP aluminium panels are lightweight, yet rigid and highly durable. Premium Metal Prints are perfect for displaying artwork and photography in superfine detail. Our metal panels are made with recycled aluminium and are available in a range of sizes and aspect ratios (including traditional photographic sizes and panoramas). ChromaLuxe’s unique coating allows prints to be showcased without the need for glass or framing.
During production, your image is printed at 1440x720 resolution onto high quality transfer paper, then infused into the aluminium panel using a combination of pressure and heat. This process results in a vibrant, lifelike image permanently bonded to a scratch and fade resistant surface, which can be easily cleaned and sterilised.
Our metal prints can be cleaned with a cloth and any all-purpose glass or household cleaner. The cleaner can be sprayed directly on the surface of the print and then wiped with a cloth as needed. They are also resistant to chemicals such as ammonia, bleach, acetone, and rubbing alcohol.
Prints onto ChromaLuxe metal panels were tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research in Iowa, USA and achieved a permanence rating of more than 60 years using two different ink sets. This rating is more than three times better than commonly used silver halide photo papers. Actual longevity results will vary depending on environmental fluctuations in situ. Although the metal prints are UV resistant, it’s still recommended to hang prints away from direct sunlight to preserve the longevity of the print. For more information about these test results, please see this PDF.

Images on a website simply cannot capture an accurate representation of the depth of colour, gloss and vibrancy of these prints – you are welcome to visit our showroom Tuesday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm.
PLEASE NOTE –
Premium metal prints are printed onto aluminium sheets that have a special coating to accept sublimation inks.
This coating sometimes has small bubbles, bumps, dips or other minor irregularities in the surface.
All sheets are thoroughly inspected prior to printing and we will position your image on the panels as best we can to minimize the visibility of these. We are unable to remake panels due to these minor imperfections.
As these panels are produced using a sublimation process, colours may vary from standard prints. Please contact us if colour accuracy is critical for your project. All our panels are printed in Australia.

Gloss White
The most popular option - if in doubt we always recommend gloss white. With a finish like glass, select this brilliant high gloss surface for excellent depth of colour, clear detail, deep blacks, vibrant whites and natural skin tones. A modern look which is suitable for all images. An excellent choice for bright, colourful photos or artwork.
Semi Gloss White
In between Gloss and Matt, this white base surface ensures richness of colour with a more matt surface to cut down on reflection. Semi gloss white is a good choice offering nice bright colours with less glare. It is often used in rooms with large windows.
Matt White
Matt White is a softer, non-reflective finish. It is great for high-end portraits or paintings. Best for display in brightly lit spaces in which you want to minimize glare, this softer surface finish is ideal for areas where reflection may be an issue. Also a good choice for signage or informational graphics.
Gloss Aluminium
With no white coating or white ink being used, just a high gloss clear, you can clearly see the raw brushed aluminium grain of the base metal come through in areas you would expect to see white. Colours will also have a metallic look on this high gloss finish.
An excellent choice for black and white images, as you will get a striking black and silver result.
Matt Aluminium
Like the gloss aluminium, this brushed matt surface allows the silver aluminium base to appear in areas that would usually be white. The matt finish cuts down on reflection, which is great for display in brightly lit spaces in which you want to minimize glare. Also works well for black and white images, with a metallic black and silver result.
