Can a metal print stand up to direct sunlight?

5 years 7 months ago #599711 by David Hutnik
I have a client that wants an ocean panoramic that I took, printed on metal.  But he wants to hang it in his pool deck, which is exposed to direct sunlight.  

I told him I would need to look around.  Sun is brutal and I wasn't sure how long the colors would stand.  

Who offers a product that would stand up to direct sunlight?

If your lucky you might get 2-3 years before the colors start to fade.
