General Questions

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.

We transfer the submitted photograph by dye-sublimation into a prepared aluminium surface. Available formats, finishes and included display hardware are stated for the selected product and delivery market.

We do not state a fixed lifespan because light, placement and care affect every print. Standard aluminium photo prints are intended for indoor display away from prolonged direct sunlight, which may gradually fade colour. Wipe gently with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners and do not use the indoor magnetic mounting system outdoors.

Glossy has a smooth, reflective surface that emphasises depth, contrast and colour. Matte has a softer satin appearance and reduces reflections, but it is not glare-free. Choose according to the photograph and the light in the room.

No. Our metal prints are printed "full bleed" (edge to edge) for a modern, frameless look. If you want an artistic white border, you'll need to add it to your image file yourself before uploading.

Standard photo prints are for dry indoor display only and do not include a protective UV laminate. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight and outdoor exposure. Address Sign is Bolot Studio’s only exterior-capable product.

Yes! Check out our reviews section above to see photos and videos from real customers. You can also find more examples on our Instagram @bolot_studio.

Ordering & Payment

Upload the highest-resolution original available. Suitability depends on the selected size, aspect ratio and crop; review the preview and any configurator warning before ordering. We accept all common image formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and WebP. For best results, upload your original, uncompressed photo directly from your phone or camera. Avoid screenshots or images shared through social media, as these are often compressed and lower quality.

Available payment methods are shown dynamically at checkout and may vary by market, currency, order and payment-provider eligibility.

You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order ships. You can use this to track directly on the carrier's website.

You can enter the recipient's delivery address at checkout when that destination is supported. Bolot does not currently offer gift wrapping, a printed card or a gift-message field; you can add your own note after receiving the parcel.

Norway: 5-8 business days (89 kr flat shipping with no free threshold). Canada: 7-12 business days with FedEx International Economy.

Policies & Support

For EU/EEA and UK distance sales where the right applies, non-personalized goods normally have a 14-day no-reason withdrawal or cancellation period and the consumer bears the direct return cost; Canadian and other destination-specific rights vary. Under Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU, that statutory no-reason right does not apply to goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized. For UK consumers, the corresponding cancellation exception is regulation 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. A print created from the customer’s photo or other genuinely individualized instructions may fall within this exception; mere made-to-order production does not qualify by itself. We do not offer a voluntary change-of-mind return or refund, or a return based only on disliking the result, for a genuinely personalized item that matches the contract and any approved proof. If we send a crop or correction proof and the customer approves it, we manufacture against that proof; approval does not remove any remedy if the final item differs from the approved proof or the contract. For a manufacturing defect, transit damage, or wrong size, finish, or personalization, our normal verified-quality response is a free remake or replacement using the same submitted or approved photo and agreed specification. Mandatory statutory remedies, including repair, replacement, price reduction, termination, and refund when their legal conditions are met, remain unaffected. You may report a manufacturing defect, transit damage, or wrong size, finish, or personalization under Verified quality support promptly after discovering the issue. If we approve a physical return under this support process, Bolot Studio covers its return cost and provides case-specific instructions. Verified quality support is additional support only; it does not shorten any applicable statutory period for reporting a problem, bringing a claim or obtaining a remedy.

If your package arrives damaged, email support@bolotstudio.com with the order number and suitable photos, then wait for our instructions before returning it. We assess the evidence and normally resolve a confirmed problem with a free remake or replacement. Any mandatory statutory remedies continue to apply.

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.

Upload the highest-resolution original available. Suitability depends on the selected size, aspect ratio and crop; review the preview and any configurator warning before ordering. If we send a proposed crop or correction, we wait up to 5 business days for your reply.

We do not label every metal print ‘eco-friendly’ without product-specific evidence. Materials, finishes, packaging and local disposal options can differ. Ask support@bolotstudio.com about the configuration you are considering, and follow local recycling guidance rather than assuming an assembled product belongs in household recycling.

We do not offer formal sample packs, but The Cinematic starts at £55 in the UK and is the most accessible way to experience the metal print finish before ordering larger sizes.
