We’ve started looking for decent artists in which to invest.
I have started printing some of my better photos on Aluminum. Here are some vendors. I am currently trying out Costco and Aluminyze
-
Whitewall.com

Prints on .002 inch – Most are .045 -
Costco – 16×24 is $64 – 20×30 is $94 – 24×36 is $120
Turn OFF enhance feature – also inconsistent results -
Adoramapix – Discount code pxmetfro30 for 30% discount

Watch out for imperfections in the image (bubbles, etc)

Try to find one with a 10-color machine with Grey inks and a RIP
Good machines: J.Teck’s J-Next10 -
Make sure they print directly on the aluminum – NOT paper glued to aluminum
-
Four types: White Satin, Glossy White, Silver Satin, Glossy Silver
