New York, NY—Although printing photos on metals has been around for a while in pro photographic circles, it was not easily done for the amateur or consumer. Now, at Aluminyze.com, anyone can upload photos and have them printed onto specialized aluminized metal for a uniquely creative look designed to add dimension to an otherwise flat surface.

An aluminyzed photo is a lightweight but hard sheet of aluminum with a photograph embedded in it. A special technology infuses the image into the aluminum. With traditional paper photos, the image sits “on” the paper, making it a two-dimensional picture, but aluminyzed photos are embedded into the fabric of the aluminum, with the surface coating of the aluminum functioning as a translucent layer through which the image is viewed. This results in a three-dimensional aspect.

One of the reasons printing photos on metal was not offered to consumers previously is because it was hard to educate people over the Internet about its unique beauty and nuance. “So we took it upon ourselves to educate the masses to become the front runner in this market,” said Shmuel Lokshin, Aluminyze.com’s CEO.

With aluminyzed photos, there are no frames required and they are easy to make. What also sets aluminized photos apart is their durability. Traditional photos printed on paper, canvas, photo books, greeting cards, etc., can be damaged, added Lokshin, but because an aluminyzed photo is infused in the body of the aluminum plate, the image cannot be degraded easily. Light will not cause degradation to aluminyzed photos because they are ultraviolet protected.

Aluminyzed photos come in the following sizes and prices: 8×10 inch, $24.95; 11×14, $44.95; 16×20, $79.95; and 20×30, $139.95. Aluminyze.com also offers 11-inch-diameter heart-shaped photos for $49.95 and 16-inch-diameter heart photos for $79.99. aluminyze.com
