Choosing Your Finish

Sample alt text

White Base Panel (Default)

Features a bright white underlayer, giving your image bold color, sharp contrast, and high definition. Ideal for most photographs and detailed artwork.

Brushed Aluminum Base Panel

A translucent surface that allows the natural aluminum to show through lighter areas of your image. This creates a unique metallic effect and a more industrial, artistic look.

Choose Your Surface Finish (Gloss Level)

LumaPixx - White Base - High Gloss

High Gloss - White Base

Experience vibrancy and depth of color with our Gloss White finish. Colors pop and details come to life with the white base and thick high-gloss coating. This is an excellent finish for any subject, including landscapes, nature, action photos, water scenes and more.

LumaPixx - White Base - Semi-Gloss

Semi-Gloss - White Base

Intense color, crisp detail, and reduced glare make our Semi-Gloss finish an exceptional choice. With a gloss level between the Gloss and Matte, Semi-Gloss provides you with the best of both worlds. Perfect for portraits or works of art displayed where glare is a concern.

LumaPixx - White Base - Satin (Matte)White Base - Satin (Matte)

Satin (Matte) - White Base

For portraits, weddings or any time surface reflection is a concern, our Matte White finish is the optimal choice. The matte white base brings out the beauty of images while drastically reducing glare. The surface provides a rich, smooth finish where colors can come alive with perfect subtlety.

LumaPixx - Clear Base - High Gloss

High Gloss - Clear Base

High-Gloss finish applied without the white base allows the natural silver of the aluminum to shine through. Detail and vibrant color still remain, but with a unique effect that favors all types of photography. Images in black and white or with strong color find new meaning on Gloss Clear finish.

LumaPixx - Clear Base - Semi-Gloss

Semi-Gloss - Clear Base

The gloss level between Gloss and Matte does an excellent job in its clear version. As the aluminum shows through, the Semi-Gloss gives the perfect level of shine that allows colors to pop but keeps the reflection at a lower level.

Clear Base - Satin (Matte)

Satin (Matte) - Clear Base

Avoiding reflection and bringing out the beauty of images with an aluminum base is exactly what the Matte Clear finish does. Display fine art or landscape images under direct light and watch images come to life.

Engineered to Last

The dye sublimation process infuses images directly into a specially coated aluminum surface using heat and pressure—embedding the image beneath a protective layer. The result is a print that resists fading, scratching, and moisture while delivering vibrant color and sharp detail that lasts for decades.



ChromaLuxe panels are engineered for longevity, with an advanced coating that preserves color and clarity far longer than traditional photo papers or canvas. Whether displayed in homes, offices, galleries, or outdoor settings (with Performance EXT metal prints), your image remains vivid and intact—making metal prints the ideal choice for both personal and professional use.

What You Need To Know About Image Sizes

When uploading your image, a general rule of thumb is that the bigger the size of the image the better! We recommend an image size of at least 2,400 x 3,000 for an 8″ x 10″ metal print. Most modern iPhone, Samsung and Android devices output images at or above our recommendation. If an image has been texted to you or you saved it from an outside source, please note that the file may have been compressed from its original format.
