high quality metal prints of birds? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone have experience of buying excellent quality metal prints of birds for a general consumer?

What do you need to know? I have printed many times to aluminium and the customers have always been happy with the results

I have just had several photos printed on aluminium (with an acrylic sheet as well) and am very happy with the results. However, I would like to wall mount them and this is confusing me. Smaller prints usually come with hanger plate glued to the back, and I assume that "normal" picture hooks are suitable for them. Larger prints have a 4 sided rail glued to the back instead, and all the suppliers' websites say things like "this enables easy and secure fixing to the wall". However I can find no guidance concerning exactly how they expect this to be achieved. I've emailed the firm that supplied mine, and basically they haven't a clue either. The aluminium rail has a small recess that could sit on a nail/screw but I would not describe this as secure. If anyone has a good solution, I'd be very grateful.

Not sure who you used for the prints however i have had very large images printed for customers and they have just hung them like a normal picture.A secure hook/screw holds them just fine on any i have had printed.i have used DSCL and Loxely for aluminium prints.

I used CEWE, but all European suppliers who show photos of the mounting channel seem to use very similar systems. They are designed to be flush against the wall and only have shallow recesses to accept any nail or screw head. It just seems very insecure to me. By contrast, in the USA they supply a proper interlocking wall bracket but I believe that this is because dry walling is predominant there.

Both those companies only ship to the UK, does anyone have experience with a company that ships to the US?
