Metal posters are based on high-grade aluminum plates and use professional thermal transfer technology to transfer images directly to the metal surface, showing unparalleled color saturation and details. We also call it "Metal Photo".

Weisi Imaging uses the world's top ChromaLuxe metal aluminum plate, which is known for its excellent image presentation and durability and is the first choice for artists and photographers.

We are not only the first studio in Taiwan to use ChromaLuxe to print photos, but our works have also been collected by professional art institutions such as Art Bank. Our quality is trustworthy!

Can I customize my own metal poster?

Absolutely!

Weisi Imaging's metal posters support full customization. You only need to provide the image file, and we will assist in the AI ​​file expansion and resolution optimization to ensure that each poster presents the best effect. Our materials are suitable for presenting personal photos (family photos, wedding photos, travel photos, landscape photos, etc.), illustrations, artistic works, and commercial images.

What are the size options for metal posters? Can Vision Imaging customize special sizes?

OK! We can customize special sizes according to your requirements.

We offer a variety of standard sizes, such as 8x12", 16x24", 24x36", and more than ten other sizes. We can also customize special sizes according to your needs. Whether it is a large-scale artwork or a delicate small poster, we can meet your needs.

Because we use relatively large aluminum plates for cutting, the remaining scraps are useless, so the material cost of the aluminum plates will be calculated based on the larger aluminum plates, and the cost will be relatively high. If you tell us the pixel size of your file and the size of the work you want to produce, we can recommend the most cost-effective cutting size based on your needs!

In addition, if the cut parts require special processing, we will also charge a cutting fee. At present, we can find the most suitable way to handle the cutting part, but there will be slight errors in local cutting. If you cannot accept a small error, it is recommended to print the original public version size.

How to install Weisi Image's metal poster?

We provide a variety of installation options, simple and convenient:

  • Frameless design : This is the metal frameless painting commonly seen on the market, creating a stylish and simple floating visual effect.
  • Frame design : suitable for all kinds of walls, stable and easy to disassemble, convenient for you to change the display position at any time, and flexibly used in home or commercial space.

  2. Collection frame (framing method: collection metal frame)
  3. Oil painting frame (framing method: double-layer three-dimensional aluminum frame)

Will metal posters fade? Does it require special maintenance?

The metal posters we use are made of ChromaLuxe material, which has excellent UV resistance and waterproof properties, and is not easy to fade even if hung for a long time.

Metal posters do not require special maintenance, and daily cleaning is super simple. Just spray the cleaning liquid directly on the cleaning cloth and then gently wipe it clean. Please be sure to follow the following principles:

  • Cleaning cloth - We recommend using a clean, fine-textured, lint-free or microfiber cloth. Do not use paper towels to clean metal prints as this can cause small scratches on the surface.
  • Cleaners - We recommend using only alcohol-based, non-abrasive cleaning fluids. Cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives, or corrosive chemicals should not be used.
