Founding Story
Metal Print Studio was founded in 2016. After studying photography in Vancouver, Canada, founder Claire Chao returned to Taiwan and deeply felt that the humid island climate often caused precious paper photographs to yellow and mildew. To address this pain point, we introduced the ChromaLuxe metal print process, known for its superior weather resistance.
Driven by the demanding standards of image creators, in 2017 we held Taiwan's first photography exhibition featuring entirely metal-based media ( View Claire Chao's Art Photography ). We are not only pioneers in the realization of metal prints in Taiwan, but several of our produced works have also been acquired by Taiwan's "Art Bank."
Since our inception, we have eschewed the complexities of traditional brick-and-mortar stores, insisting on a "pure online professional service" to dedicate all resources to the pursuit of ultimate craftsmanship. In 2026, we relocated our studio to Taichung, continuing to provide high-end image customization experiences with the highest standards for clients across Taiwan, regardless of location.
