Has anyone tried printing tried metal photo printing?
I have been searching for a local place to do it, but so far only found Photobook malaysia that does metal prints. Anyone tried photobook malaysia for their metal prints? or has anyone tried any other service out there? Metal prints aren't cheap, so am worried that after spending all that money, the image comes out like crap.
So if anyone knows where else to do these type of printing, can be online or physical store, but either as long as someone can vouch that the quality is good, please do let me know.

Im looking at metal photo prints, im not sure whether its the same process as UV printing, but essentially, its like canvas printing, but on metal. A place that specialises on printing photos would be ideal.

The quality of the product really depends on the quality of your photo. If your photo is low quality (low in KB and resolution) of course you can't expect it to be good. How big of a print you want it to be on the metal plate?
