High Definition Metal Prints: The “Hard” Truth


Posted on Aug 31, 2014

Some of the most popular, yet least understood products are metals! Many people use the metals but do not really know the difference between the options on the market today. There are clear differences between them and being more familiar and informed is going to lead to not only better outcomes for you but hopefully better selections for shopping!

In the sublimation world, there are four basic types of sublimatable aluminum. Suppliers may have different names for them but they are basically Unisub, Dynasub, Supermetal, and Econosub. There are different qualities in each metal as well as separate uses where each metal can give you the best result!

The most popular metal is the Unisub line. The Unisub aluminum comes in white only with a .045 or .030 thickness. The popularity stems from the fact that the coating on the aluminum is the most durable on the market. The durability comes from a harder coating that is placed on the aluminum. The coating also makes it resistant to scratches and contains UV inhibitors. Unisub also has a line called Chromaluxe which comes in a silver and white with an .045 thickness. Chromaluxe coatings are a little thicker than the standard sublimation aluminum and work excellent in the photo industry as larger full-colored wall pieces.

Dynasub is a close second to Unisub. Dynasub is a close second to Unisub. At .020 thick, this midgrade aluminum holds the same image quality as Unisub but does not cost as much. Dynasub is used anywhere from award type applications to name badges. It is virtually the same material as the Supermetal except the grain is a littler darker and deeper in the Dynasub. It comes in three different colors; white, bright gold, and satin silver.

Supermetal is a high quality lacquered aluminum that was developed specifically for the sublimation industry. Supermetals work excellent as high end awards and many different identification applications. They allow for a very nice full color option at a lower cost than the Unisub. Another beneficial difference between the Supermetal and Unisub is the ability to shear it with excellent results. The Unisub coating is hard so it makes the material more susceptible to chips; where as the Supermetal’s coating is softer allowing for great shearing ability. The Supermetal line comes in five different finishes: Bright Gold, Bright Silver, Brushed Gold, Brushed Silver, and Brushed Copper.

The last most economical option is the Econosub line. This line is only produced in white and its best use is in large runs where a low overhead cost is a necessity. However, it does not carry the same durability as some of the other options. It is used mainly indoors for wall type signage.

A bright, vibrant image on a piece of sublimation aluminum can be very eye catching. Ellisi Gifts uses Unisub aluminum for all its high definition metal print photos and ornaments to provide bright and vibrant images for your pesonalized gifts.

High Definition ChromaLuxe Metal Prints


Posted on Jun 25, 2014

Longest Lasting Photo Medium

ChromaLuxe metal prints have gone through extensive fade resistance testing to compare it to the three leading archival photo papers in the market. Independent laboratory testing has demonstrated ChromaLuxe to last significantly longer than the three longest lasting photo papers! Feel confident your ChromaLuxe metal prints will last for generations!

ChromaLuxe photo panels are an exciting new high definition display option that transforms your photos into vibrant works of art. ChromaLuxe photo panels have an extremely durable scratch resistant surface that is waterproof and can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth.

Fade Testing Results

Two independent and highly respected research and testing laboratories have conducted environmental life tests on ChromaLuxe Photo Panels and have clearly concluded that ChromaLuxe Hi-Def Metal prints are the longest lasting photo medium in the market. The first laboratories’ testing replicated the effects of incandescent lighting along with indirect natural sunlight against the likelihood of noticeable fading over time. ChromaLuxe was compared against the top three long-lasting (archival) photo papers with test results showing that ChromaLuxe lasts twice as long as the next closest photo paper and four times longer than the third best photo paper.

The second independent laboratories’ testing replicated the effects of fluorescent lighting in a windowless office environment. In this test, measuring the likelihood of noticeable fading, ChromaLuxe outlasted its next closest long-lasting photo paper by a factor of 1.7 times the life of the photo paper.

The high definition, vibrant colors of ChromaLuxe coupled with superior fade, moisture, stain, and scratch resistant properties make ChromaLuxe an excellent choice for commercial, fine art and home décor applications.

The ChromaLuxe Surface

The UV resistant coating is bonded to substrates that include .045” metal and 1/4? or 5/8” thick wood. ChromaLuxe panels are fabricated into a range of display options that include HD metal wall panels, ready-to-hang wood panels, table top easel panels, and hinged multiple panels. ChromaLuxe products have a coating applied via a state of the art process which occasionally will contain slight imperfections such as small craters or bumps. We inspect each item very carefully, and if there are imperfections they will be within the tolerance provided on our reference sheet.

Unlike Anything Else

The vibrancy and dimensionality of ChromaLuxe products rivals any photographic product and exceeds the quality of traditional paper prints when placed behind inherently imperfect glass.

As you move beyond the 4″x6″ print, ChromaLuxe provides exceptional quality of detail and resolution that allows you to turn your photography into the focal point of wall décor. Mounting blocks are available to attach to the back of the metal photo panels to allow them to float off the wall and offers a natural drop shadow.

Technology behind a 3D Photo Crystal


Posted on Apr 24, 2014

3D Photo crystals are made using special laser beam, and proprietary micro-laser software guides the beam along the XYZ axis.  The laser beam penetrates the surface of the crystal, focuses to a precise point below the surface of the crystal, and burns a micro-fracture that is invisible to the naked eyes. After repeating the process and injecting hundreds of thousands of burns, your selected image is formed, impressively suspended in the centre of an optic crystal block.  As laser beams are non-invasive, no marks or blemishes are left on the surface of the crystal, and the surfaces appear completely untouched. When viewed from any angle the intricate design is viewed much like a three dimensional sculpture.
