Metal Posters FAQ
What is a sublimation metal poster?
A sublimation metal poster is a high definition print permanently infused into a coated aluminum panel using heat and pressure. The image becomes part of the surface, creating vivid color, exceptional clarity, and a sleek, modern finish.
How are your posters made and what materials do you use?
We use premium sublimation inks and transfer paper paired with high quality HD sublimation aluminum panels. The design is printed to the transfer paper, then heat pressed onto the panel so the inks convert to gas and bond into the coating. This process delivers optimal shine, longevity, and crisp detail.

How do I display my metal poster?
You have several easy display choices:
- Included Stand Attach the foldable stand to the back and fold it out. Perfect for desks, shelves, buffet tables, reception counters, and stalls.
- Magnetic Mounts Apply self adhesive magnetic patches to the wall and place the poster on the magnets for quick repositioning.
- Removable Wall Strips Use 3M style strips on the back of the panel for a clean, renter friendly wall mount.
- Adhesive Mounting Tape Heavy duty double sided tape for a more permanent placement.
- Frames Pop the panel into a compatible photo frame for a classic display style.
Is this renter friendly and paint safe?
Yes. Choose magnetic patches or removable wall strips to avoid drilling and to remove cleanly. Always follow the strip or magnet manufacturer instructions and apply to clean, dry painted surfaces for best results.
Does a stand come with my poster and how do I use it?
Yes. One foldable stand is included. Peel and stick the stand onto the back of the panel using the adhesive pad. Fold the leg out until it locks and place the poster on a flat surface. This is ideal for desks, buffet tables, and shelves when a wall mount is not desired.
How do I clean and care for the poster?
- Wipe with Windex or a similar glass cleaner.
- Use a clean lint free cloth.
- Use light pressure to maintain the glossy finish and avoid micro scratches.
- Avoid abrasive pads or harsh solvents.
How durable are sublimation metal posters?
The image is embedded into the panel coating, not sitting on top, which enhances resistance to fading and moisture. Panels are sturdy and long lasting. As with any glossy surface, avoid sharp impacts and abrasive cleaning tools to keep the finish looking new.
Can I display it outdoors or in humid spaces?
Metal posters are best for indoor display. Short term covered outdoor use may be acceptable if protected from direct sunlight and rain. In bathrooms or kitchens, display is generally fine with reasonable ventilation. Avoid continuous high humidity, steam exposure, and direct harsh sun to preserve color over time.
Do you print custom designs or personal photos?
Yes. Provide a high resolution image for the best result. We recommend 300 DPI at the final print size, sRGB color profile, and PNG or high quality JPG. Ensure you have rights to use the artwork. If you need help with cropping, bleed, or file preparation, reach out and we will guide you.
