Below is an explanation of the process.
MetalPrints? represents a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. The high gloss coating takes on an almost magical luminescence. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the archival qualities of this unique process are unparalleled. You've never seen a more brilliant impressive print before!

How Archival are Metal Prints?
Images printed with the MetalPrints process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight. Like any fine art print, MetalPrints should not be exposed to direct sunlight or high outdoor temperatures. MetalPrints have an additional benefit over gicleé or photographic processes in that they are waterproof and have an ultra-hard scratch-resistant coating. The archival value of a print should be judged not only by its resistance to degradation by UV light and ozone exposure but also by moisture and surface damage. When these factors are brought into the equation, MetalPrints are an excellent way to preserve an image.
Please note: MetalPrints? are printed on aluminum that has a coating applied with state-of-the-art coating machines. The coating that is applied sometimes contains some small imperfections such as small craters or bumps. We inspect each sheet very carefully and if there are imperfections we place them in the most unobtrusive parts of the image. We cannot remake MetalPrints due to these imperfections unless they are located in a very prominent part of the image. MetalPrints are weatherproof and moisture-proof, but they will fade like a normal photograph, so please avoid direct sunlight.
