[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Have had several; done on Kodak paper with great results. Am now using a "metallic" inkjet paper from Red River Paper with good, although less dramatic results. You'[re right, it demands certain images. most of mine have been done for a client that is a contractor that works in refineries, power plants and chemical plants, so it's perfect, but I understand that it is becoming popular with some wedding photogs. But they probably only want something that looks different. There is someone locally that mounts prints on aluminum, and it looks good although hard to hang. I have seen ads for someone that prints on aluminum, presumably with an emulsion coating, but I don't see how they do that. Perhaps like to old emulsion transfer process for canvas?

I had a couple of pix done on metallic paper (not aluminum plate) and found that you've REALLY got to have the right image for the process. Otherwise it just looks strange. It doesn't seem to suit me. R.
