Metallic print - how can it change your photo finish?

If you are looking for an 'out of the box' finish, take inspiration from a metallic print. Read on to find out more about this process.

It is fair to say that there's always a story and meaning behind a photo. Regardless of whether you are a wedding photographer capturing the first kiss of a happy couple or forever documenting the class of 2016 at school, the images that you take are designed to record emotions and moments in time.

With the image drawing meaning for both the photographer and talent, it should go without saying that it needs to be published in the appropriate manner. The world of photography has certainly moved past regular photo paper and there are now many options available to enhance and make a statement with every photo you print.

One great example of this is metallic print. With the help of Photo King, we can revolutionise your stunning images with a finish that both you and your clients are extremely proud of. Read on below to find out how metallic print can make all the difference.

Creating that visual 'pop'

As the name might suggest, a metallic finish is designed to make images truly shine - standing out against photos printed with regular technology. At Photo King, we take advantage of the latest advances in dye coupler technology to give photos a sharp, glossy look which allows black and white shades to 'pop' out from the canvas or paper.

Add value to your photos with a metallic print.

Metallic print also adds a touch of glamour to the final product, allows key details such as facial expressions and objects to become the star of the show.

Standing the test of time

Photos are memories and memories are supposed to stand the test of time - reminding us of those great moments in our lives. However, with traditional laser prints, time isn't a great friend and those once-sharp colours can begin to fade. This is certainly where the Kodak Endura photographic paper we use for metallic finishes has a clear advantage.

While we still use a darkroom to load the paper, our prints can last between 100 and 200 years. This is over two lifetimes, helping families to preserve precious memories over many generations. At the end of the day, photos connect us to the past and this remains an important factor for us at Photo King.

As one of our core offerings, metallic prints represent the value in polished, glossy and breathtaking imagery. How can this technology help your photography moving forward?
