We Offer 4 of the Most Popular Metal Print Frames*

*Frame and hanging hardware are complimentary with every limited edition ChromaLuxe® print purchase.

Inset

Sometimes called a "float frame" this metal frame is invisible from the front-on viewing. This type of frame gives the illusion that your artwork is floating off the wall.

View An Example

Standard Euro

Your artwork is mounted in a 1-1/4 inch thick metal frame that adds depth to your print by separating it from the wall with a bold black border. The front-on view is unobstructed.

Jump to Finishes

Euro Wrap

Your artwork is "wrapped" in a thin lipped metal frame. It is essentially a standard euro frame with an added 1/8 inch lip. The frame will be visible from front-on viewing.

Jump to Finishes

NEW! Shadow Box

Your artwork appears to be floating within the frame.

Jump to Finishes
  • Glossy

    White glossy finish reflects light with no diffusion. Glares from windows and other sources of natural light may be visible. We recommend displaying this style in a space where lighting can be controlled.

    Choose Glossy 
  • Matte

    White matte finish diffuses all kinds of lighting, including natural light. This finish is best suited for areas with windows and other sources of natural light.

    Choose Matte 
  • Satin

    An in-between for glossy and matte. Reflections will be subtlety diffused. Good for areas with minimal natural lighting.

    Choose Satin

FAQs

What is ChromaLuxe®?

ChromaLuxe® is a premium manufacturer of aluminum substrate used for dye sublimation.

Dye sublimation is a printing process that uses heat and pressure to transfer special dye onto aluminum. The ink starts as a solid, then is vaporized, such that is permeates the surface of the aluminum.

This intense process, which takes place with a special Epson® printer using premium Epson® inks and ChromaLuxe® aluminum, results in vibrant, durable, and detailed prints that won't crack or peel over time.

What's Included?

Your purchase of a Limited Edition ChromaLuxe® Aluminum Print includes your choice of frame. Choose from the four most popular frames and finishes.

You will also receive a complimentary French cleat to assist with installation.

Along with your limited edition print, you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity.

Your Certificate of Authenticity is printed on archival deckle-edged paper, signed by the artist, with a unique serial number attached to both the Certificate and the print. We keep extensive records of each edition piece that is sold.

What Are the Edition Limits?

Each photograph is limited to 99 print reproductions unless otherwise noted. Print reproduction includes giclée, ChromaLuxe® aluminum, and hand-ground steel. Your Certificate will note which edition number you receive.

Is the Print Signed by the Artist?

No, when you order a limited edition print you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity, which is signed by the artist, but the print will not come signed. However, you can request for your print to be signed for an additional fee. Contact us at info@sliceoflight.com or (805) 354-5552 to get started.

Free Custom Mockups

For the most accurate previews, we have a four-step process in order for you to receive an accurate depiction of the size you want displayed on your walls:

Step One: Snap a Pic

Take a photo of the space you'd like to hang the piece. Tip: Take the photo straight-on, standing in the middle of the room.

Step Two: Measure

Measure the width of the wall and/or any furniture seen within the photo.

Step Three: Send

Send an email to info@sliceoflight.com. Include the photo(s) of your wall, the measurements, and tell us which piece(s) you'd like seen on your walls. We will be in contact with you and send you a preview.

Step Four: Review

We will send you back your desired custom mockup within 1 business day. If you are not satisfied with it, you can request changes and we will send you an updated mockup.

To see these directions with helpful pictures, visit our "Fine Art Consultations" page.

Installation and Care

Installation

Your ChromaLuxe® aluminum print will be fitted with the frame of your choice and will come with a French Cleat that needs to be attaached to the wall with screws or nails. All frame choices come with a metal lip that slides into the French Cleat.

Other hanging hardware options:

If you prefer wire-and-hook systems rather than French cleats, we recommend the brand STAS. We use STAS hanging systems throughout the gallery. You may want to consider wire-and-hook systems if you rotate your collection frequently and/or don't want too many holes in the middle of your wall. 

Illumination

Your limited edition ChromaLuxe® aluminum print will look good in any lighting. However, here are our suggestions to really make the images burst to life:

1. Light directly with a spotlight or artlight

2. Use bulbs with color temperature in the range of 3000K to 5000K

3. Use bulbs with a color rendering index (CRI) of 95 or better

We use SORAA bulbs throughout the gallery, which meets all of the above criteria. 

Cleaning

For ChromaLuxe® aluminum prints, most of the time, the only thing you will need to clean your print is a basic microfiber cloth. Microfiber clothes can be found in grocery stores, hardware stores, and office supply stores. A simple wipe down will remove most dust and fingerprints. 

Avoid using anything abrasive like paper towels, as this will cause micro-scratches that can build up and eventually show over time. 

For stubborn stains, use a little bit of denatured alcohol, acetone, or goo-gone applied first to a microfiber cloth. 

Over time, prints will inevitably catch and collect dust, so it is a good idea to wipe down your print monthly to keep them looking their absolute best.

When Will My Print Arrive?
