What is a frameless painting?
Simple definition <br/>The original name of frameless painting is Canvis Print, which is a way of presenting an artwork by outputting an image onto a canvas and stretching the canvas onto a frame. A frameless painting can be the final output of an artwork, or it can be a way of presenting an artwork as a reproduction of other graphic arts (drawings, paintings, photographs, etc.).
Printing method <br/>Since the boom in digital printing in the 1990s, frameless paintings are mostly produced through thermal sublimation (replicas) or inkjet printing (giclee), printed or output on cotton or rubber-based canvas, usually used to reproduce images.
Frameless Installation <br/>A common display method is to cut the canvas to the appropriate size and then use gallery wrap to stretch the canvas so that it wraps around the wooden frame and fix the canvas to the back of the frame.

The finished work is called a frameless painting because no frame can be seen from the front. And because the material is canvas, we also call it a canvas frameless painting.

Miss Jiang's comment to us : "This is actually the second time I have ordered photos. I have seen Metal Impression's products many years ago, so I took a family photo during the Chinese New Year and wanted to use metal impressions as a permanent commemoration. I found Weishi Imaging on the Internet. Because it is not a physical store, I have many questions and uncertainties. I asked many questions through more than 20 emails, some of which were even sent at one or two in the middle of the night. Weishi customer service always responded in a very short time to provide professional suggestions and several production diagrams to answer my questions. In the end, our whole family was very satisfied with the finished product, so we wanted to order another family photo. They were also very patient in providing professional services and suggestions, and gave me an amazing photo! 』

Due to the special requirements of the exhibition, Jessie wanted to try out the transparent bottom aluminum plate material that we have not yet released to the public. We helped her determine the most suitable printing parameters through multiple trial printings and screening. During the four-month cooperation, Jessie was very satisfied with the detailed advice and patient answers we provided. She said that such professional service made her feel at ease and made us a trusted partner.
Jessie's comment to us "Metal Print Studio is a really fantastic studio to work with!

I was debating between several options and they were very eager to help with test prints on my behalf to figure out what would be the best solution. They were also very fast with the prints, even with tight deadlines they worked hard to get everything done. I had a great experience working with them and would definitely work with them again in the future!"

Outdoor application case: Keep the bright color of the summit sign
Mr. Fan's choice <br/>Mr. Fan, a mountaineering enthusiast, discovered during his climb of hundreds of peaks that many mountain tops did not have fixed summit signs, only simple A4 laminated paper, which often faded or was damaged quickly due to sun and rain. In order to leave a clear and durable mark for more mountaineers, he chose the outdoor metal printing service of Weishi Imaging to produce a series of exquisite summit signs.
Out of curiosity, Mr. Fan would regularly inquire about the whereabouts of these summit cards in mountaineering-related communities. Not only have they become a commemorative story among fellow mountaineers, he also generously shares them with us! 🤩
Mr. Fan's comments to us
"It has remained bright and fresh for more than 3 years on the top of the 100 Peaks"
"While climbing the 100 most peaks, there are often many peaks that do not have summit signs, but only an A4 laminated paper. So I ordered the outdoor version of Weishi Imaging, which is said to remain unchanged for 5 years under strong ultraviolet rays. Although most of the summit cards I ordered have been discarded or taken away by fellow climbers, the few that are still there are still bright and have not faded. If you need to make a detailed outdoor sign, highly recommended! 』
Project demonstration case: the best example of achievement display
Professional membrane structure manufacturer x Taoyuan Dome Opening Ceremony <br/>At the Taoyuan Dome Opening Ceremony on January 3, 2021, our metal photos became one of the highlights! Thanks to the support of Grin-tw, a professional manufacturer of membrane structures, they used our metal photo frameless paintings to print low-light aerial photos of the Dome renovation project, perfectly showing the project results.
This frameless metal painting was presented to Taoyuan City Mayor Zheng Wencan and became a highly anticipated gift at the ceremony. This metal frameless painting is 100cm in size but weighs only about 2.5kg. Including the back-hanging frame, its weight is equivalent to holding a 1250ml bottle of Coca-Cola in each hand. It is light yet elegant. Mayor Zheng held it with ease and took a photo with the restoration team, bringing this cooperation to a successful conclusion.

The author of this article, Weisi Image
Weisi Imaging was established in 2016 and specializes in ChromaLuxe metal photo production.
The person in charge of Weisi Imaging studied photography in Vancouver, Canada from 2011 to 2014. He was an artist-in-residence and also held photography solo exhibitions. Because I was amazed by the visual effects of ChromaLuxe metal prints, I decided to focus on the research and production of metal photos.
Weiss Imaging not only prints high-quality metal photos, but is also the first printing center in Taiwan to assist artists in producing metal photos. Many of the artist's works have been collected by Taiwan's Art Bank.
