I have been experiementing with my mountain bike photos and printing them onto brushed aluminium sheets. Here are some photos. Just like to know what people think of them. Black is the best colour to use as if you starting using lighter colours you start to lose them against the light grey aluminium.

What's the process?
They look really good, 😀 really really good in fact. Would make a great pressie if done with photos supplied by the customer.

Sublimation is the process, people can email a picture and the above is the out come
That has a amazing lith look to it, again, what's the process?
Do you have the option to use different finishes to the aluminium, say a brushed finish?
Its not Ton in that picture on the right is it? 😉
people can email a picture and the above is the out come
Ooooh.. Price, ish?
Not right now but I'd be interested in one in a bit,
lol, no the pictures are me.
options will be white, brushed al, mirror al and mirror gold, brushed copper, silver mat etc
If for any reason you don't want to put an (ish) price on here my mails in my profile
I was going to ask about copper, but you're on it. I'd be interested in this, that looks cool as!

I will put prices on here, this could change as the photo above are blutac on the wall, not sure how people could hang them yet.
The big Aluminium photo is 11 x 11 inches £17.99 including P&P
The small aluminium photo IS 6 x 4 inches £8.99 including P&P
The biggest I can print too is just under 13 x 19 inches just over A3 size
My one concern is..would the photo on the right continue to grow until it took over the whole wall, or does it have a finite size...?

Looks great. I got similar done on brushed aluminium dibond here:

I found that shading didn't work as well as I hoped, detail got lost. I love the the monochrome silhouette approach though, good work.
Ill have one asap when you can then, the 11x11 is perfect, post up when it's going to happen

lol, no it stops

Ive worked with dibond before, very nice but expensive.
And thanks for the nice feedback everyone
They do look good, but might be improved with a tad more Emily Batty/Willow Koerber. 😆
Here are the colours that work the best on the brushed Aluminium. Darker colours will work the best

Don't want to seem like a member of the STW spelling police, but there's a few typo's in your ad.
I have emiled the people who were interested in the Aluminium photos with details about them
Loving these, definitely interested. What sort of turnaround time are we talking? Oh, and will they arrive ready to hang?
bullandbladder
I will send you the details, turn around will be pretty quick, yes they will be ready to hang?
Don't want to be a hater but....they make a poor to average photo look half decent. They're also a bit of a gimmick the kind of thing that looks good now but in a year or so you'll think they oks ghastly!
nwill1
I understand they wont be everybodies cup of tea and yes people change there mind over time but this can be said about anything in the world
True, if you like them though the price is very good 🙂 I suppose they are more graphic than photographic & I'm an old skool purest.
Funny you should say graphic and photographic as that is what I did at uni graphics and photography
I'm a purest I just did photographic although I take my hat off to graphic designers, something I can't do.
nwill1, What's wrong with making a poor or average photo look decent? Most mortals are poor to average photographers. I certainly am. 🙄
I like that... And I've got loads of average photos of me racing but no great ones.
But I'm afraid aluminium will be too stiff, can you do me one on 853? (if only there was some sort of carbon-based photo material!)
northwind
What is 853?
brakes just for you. could do thing a better picture
