A lot of families like to give photos of their children to the grandparents as holiday gifts, and Aluminyze has a unique photo product that is the perfect gift. Instead of paper, Aluminyze infuses your images on a thin, solid sheet of aluminum. Vibrant colors make your photo come alive, and the aluminum means your photo won’t tear. Your images can be printed on a silver surface for “a fascinating transparent look. Whites take on a metallic feel, while all colors and details pop with new life.” A white surface is also available for “a greater depth of saturated color and superior contrasts. Bring out the best in portraits, wedding shots or when you’re looking to reduce reflective glare.” They can also be coated with a glossy or matte finish. Aluminyze products are available in rectangular or heart shapes in sizes from 5″ X 7″ to 20″ X 30″. Prices range from about $25 to $170. No frame is necessary, and you can add an easel back or an acrylic pedestal for standing on a table top or a wall float for hanging your image.

Great post! Have you heard of Bumblejax? They do something similar, but they can also print on acrylic, gator board and bamboo, in addition to aluminum. I just had a few photos printed on aluminum and acrylic. They were a bit pricey, but really high quality. You should check ‘em out for future projects: http://www.bumblejax.com/
