high quality prints directly to metal

[aaronJREgraphics]

Hey let me start by saying thanks for any help in advance. I am looking for help or advice on equipment that will do high quality photo prints to aluminum, other than a normal flat bed the quality just isn't there. I know that there are printers made by DCS that print high quality prints directly to metal but in sizes up to 13x24 or so we are looking for something that will print preferably 20x30". Again we are fairly new to this so any help with equipment ideas would be great or if anyone has used equipment pm me with details thanks guys!

Hi resolution on aluminum

I would sublimate it.

My solution to that is to print on clear vinyl with ecosolvent ink and laminate to the aluminum... I've been doing it that way for years, and it protects the aluminium from oxidation.

They have sheets, and rolls. But, just for aqueous inks.
