- A metal print with a floating hanger (shown above) is ready to hang on the wall upon unboxing, resulting in a sleek, modern, and seamless floating effect.
- A metal print with a gallery mount boasts an inset 1.3-inch-thick aluminum frame and hanging wire that bumps the print 1.5 inches from the wall for a stunning gallery-worthy effect.
- The Euro Frame option wraps the metal print with a 1.3-inch-thick edge-mounted frame in silver, black, or gold anodized aluminum. This option also bumps the print out 1.5 inches from the wall, giving it additional depth and heft.
- The Hinged Desk Easel is ideal for displaying small metal prints (less than 12x12 inches) on your desk or another horizontal surface.
- White gloss is the most popular finish, offering beautiful color depth, luminosity, and rich, vibrant colors. This is great for digital art, landscapes, and action photography.
- White semi gloss is a perfect blend of gloss and matte. It offers a similar color depth as a gloss finish with a little more luminosity than a matte finish while also reducing reflections. This makes semi gloss an ideal choice for bright areas prone to glare.
- White matte has a smooth, rich surface that minimizes reflections. It’s the finish to choose for black and white imagery, portraits, and wedding photography.
- A silver finish is similar to white but adds a metallic appearance to the print. It’s available in gloss, semi gloss, and matte options.
- The color of this print was simply off the charts, earning a perfect 5/5 score.
- The details of the print were similarly incredible, with no noticeable noise, beautiful contrast, and a gorgeous shine. Again, a perfect 5/5 score.
- The presentation of the print also scored a perfect 5/5. It is beautifully made all the way around - as you can see in the image above, even the back of the print shows a high level of attention to detail!
- The packaging was absolutely on point - super protective to ensure the print arrived at my door perfectly intact with no damage. Another 5/5!
If you’re a frequent reader here on PhotographyTalk, you know that I do a ton of print reviews - canvas, acrylic, and, of course, metal. In fact, I’ve been reviewing prints for five years now, and in that time, I’ve seen countless prints of varying quality. Some have been really terrible, most have been perfectly fine, and a few have really knocked my socks off.
Yet, in all that time, only a few prints have impressed me enough to make me speechless. You can see one such moment at around the 5:49 mark in my video below:
The print in question is from Large Metal Prints. As you can guess from the name, these folks specialize in metal prints, and boy, do they ever do a good job of it. Just when I thought I’d seen it all in a metal print, these folks proved me wrong!
While the video above does a deep dive into the print I reviewed, I felt it necessary to pull the veil back on Large Metal Prints as a company. Who are they? What are their guiding principles? What sort of metal print options do they offer?
So, that’s what we’re going to do!

Introducing Large Metal Prints
As a small business owner myself, I am intimately familiar with the time, hard work, and dedication required to build a successful business. The father-son team at Large Metal Prints certainly understands that too - they’ve been at it since 2010, creating gorgeous metal prints at every turn along the way.
Building relationships with customers is paramount when you own a small business. And while it’s easy to say, “We value our customers,” it’s another thing to actually do it. The dedication to customer care from Jon (dad) and Jonny (son) is obvious at every turn - in the quality of the work they do, in the care taken to ship prints to customers, and in the way they communicate with and treat you as a customer. You aren’t just another person ordering a print; instead, you’re a new friend - a personal relationship they want to cultivate into a long-term business relationship.
Again, a lot of people talk about doing these things, but not all are successful. But in my initial interactions with Jon and Jonny, it's obvious that customer care is a foundational principle of the company and not just lip service.
Large Metal Prints Gives You Loads of Options
Aside from the friendly customer service they’re known for, Large Metal Prints offers you many different options for building the perfect metal print.
For example, you can order the metal print by itself with no frame or mount; that way, you can explore your creativity for adding these elements as you please. Of course, there are many options for getting a ready-to-display print, too:
Large Metal Prints also offers Custom Multi-Panels (shown above), an ideal choice for showcasing large-format or panoramic photos across three or more panels. Needless to say, the WOW factor with custom multi-panels is off the charts!
Now, I haven’t had an opportunity to review each of these items in person. However, based on what I’ve seen with my gallery mount metal print, I think it’s safe to say that each printing option results in something you will be proud to display on your wall!
Available Finishes for Your Metal Print
An additional layer of customization is available by choosing the finish of your metal print. As you can see above, the four options available from Large Metal Prints each have a distinct look:
Sizing and Pricing Your Custom Metal Print
No matter how big or small you need your metal print, Large Metal Prints is primed and ready to oblige. With standard sizes starting at 4x6 inches and ranging up to 48x84 (that’s four feet by seven feet!!), there is no lack of choice when it comes to ordering a print the size you want.
Large Metal Prints also offers custom sizing if one of the dozens of standard sizes doesn’t quite work for your needs. Just give Jonny a call at 1-800-788-6682, and he’ll work up a quote for you for your custom-sized print. Heck, you can even schedule a one-hour appointment to discuss your needs and wants - talk about top-shelf customer service!
With such a wide range of standard and custom sizes available, there is something for every budget at Large Metal Prints. In fact, prints start at just $8.00, so there is no excuse for not having a gorgeous metal print of your favorite photo!
Quick Review: Large Metal Prints
As I mentioned in the introduction to this article, the print I reviewed from Large Metal Prints was simply astounding. That’s not a word I throw around a lot when describing the prints I review, but in this case, it’s certainly appropriate.
In fact, this print (shown above) is so impressive that I took a photo of my mom off the wall to make room for it. Just kidding mom! Your print is still proudly displayed. BUT…I did remove another landscape print because my walls are quite full at the moment. This print from Large Metal Prints is simply too good not to hang up!
You can get a full 360-degree tour of this print by watching my video at the beginning of this article. But here’s a quick bird’s-eye look at how this print fared in my detailed scoring:
