What is a metal print?

Bolot Studio photo prints transfer a submitted photograph by dye-sublimation into a prepared aluminium surface. Matte and glossy finishes are available according to the selected product, format and delivery market.

Should I choose a matte or glossy finish?

Glossy gives deeper contrast and a reflective, high-impact surface. Matte has a softer satin appearance and reduces reflections, although some glare may remain. Both finishes require the same indoor placement and gentle care.

What sizes are available?

Wall formats include Statement at 42 × 30 cm, Classic at 30 × 20 cm and The Cinematic in 42 × 30, 30 × 20 and 21 × 14 cm options where available. The Keepsake Trio is three separate 13 × 9 cm aluminium photo panels with three separate metal desk stands.

Can I order a metal print of my own photo?

Yes — every print is made to order from the photograph you upload. Upload the file in the configurator, review the crop preview, choose the size and the matte or glossy finish, then order. Current prices are shown in the configurator and on the product page for your market.

What is the largest metal print you can order?

The largest single panel is 42×30 cm — Statement in The Legacy Print and the largest Cinematic format. Below it are 30×20 cm and 21×14 cm, and The Keepsake Trio is three separate 13×9 cm panels. For a wider wall, combine several 42×30 cm or 30×20 cm wall panels instead of one oversized sheet.

Can I order a portrait or a landscape metal print?

Yes. The Cinematic Print in 21×14, 30×20 and 42×30 cm supports portrait or landscape presentation by swapping width and height. The crop preview in the configurator shows how your photograph sits in the chosen format before you order.

Which metal print works best as a personalised photo gift?

The Keepsake Trio is the ready gift set: three separate 13×9 cm aluminium photo panels with three separate metal desk stands, so each panel stands on a desk or shelf without mounting. For a single larger gift, choose a wall format such as Classic 30×20 cm or Statement 42×30 cm with the recipient's own photograph.

Is a personalised keepsake photo trio a good gift for a family celebration?

It suits an occasion where three moments belong together. The Keepsake Trio contains exactly three separate 13×9 cm aluminium photo panels and exactly three separate metal desk stands; each panel also holds on a metal surface such as a fridge. Review each crop in the configurator before ordering. The panels are for dry indoor display.

Are metal prints made to order?

Yes. Nothing is printed in advance: production starts from the photograph you submit and the size and finish you select. Delivery options and costs for your market are shown at checkout in local currency.

How much do metal prints cost?

The Keepsake Trio (3 × 13 × 9 cm): From £75 · The Classic (30 × 20 cm): From £75 · The Statement (42 × 30 cm): From £79. Exact prices depend on the active market and are shown on the product page and at checkout in local currency. Matte and glossy cost the same; shipping thresholds are market-specific.

A photograph that belongs in the room

A Bolot metal print brings a favourite image off the screen and into your space. Our aluminium prints are made by dye-sublimation: colour and detail are transferred into a prepared aluminium surface, so each print on metal is a clean, frameless piece for dry indoor display. Choose the size, finish and display method that suit the photograph and where it will live.

Matte and glossy are priced the same, so your choice comes down to the look alone.

What you're choosing

Compare the material, finish, format, photo quality and display method before you decide.

Surface finishes

Glossy has a reflective surface that deepens contrast and colour impact. Matte has a softer appearance and reduces reflections, but it does not eliminate glare. Consider both the photograph and the light falling on the intended wall.
