Hi All,

I was thinking of using a recent image of my son from our summer vacation to print on Aluminum as a sample for clients. I like the image in black and white but the only MetalPrints I have seen in person have been in color. Has anyone been particularly pleased or displeased with a B&W image on aluminum? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If it helps, this is the image I am thinking of using:

Thanks!

Jim

It would print lovely - though I'd add much more contrast to the sky, waves, and sand behind the boy.

Thanks Andy! I completely agree, this was a quick edit of the many vacation images I'm processing but I liked it quite a bit and wanted to know if it would work well on aluminum or if I should look for a color image for this sample. I'll make some adjustments before printing no matter what the medium. :)
