A truly exceptional product is created through a process that never cuts corners. Here's an open look at the science, craftsmanship, and care behind every Bolot Studio print.
Metal prints are created through dye-sublimation: your image is digitally enhanced and color-calibrated, then transformed into dye vapor at high heat, and permanently infused into a premium metal panel. This meticulous 4-phase process produces vibrant, durable prints that last for many decades without fading or deteriorating.

Three precision-engineered layers working together to preserve your memories for a lifetime.
An invisible, UV-resistant layer that makes the print waterproof and effortless to clean.
Your photo is transformed into a gas and infused directly into the metal surface, creating radiant color depth that feels almost alive.
A rigid, lightweight metal panel engineered for stability, durability, and a lifetime of display without warping.
From digital file to physical heirloom, every step is handled with meticulous care.
Our specialists refine each image in a fully color-calibrated workflow, ensuring the final print captures the emotion, clarity, and tone of your original vision.
State-of-the-art heat technology transforms the image into dye vapor and permanently infuses it into the metal, creating a vivid, seamless surface.
Every panel is precision-cut and hand-polished for a perfectly smooth, professional-grade edge and an elegant frameless look.
The final and strictest step. One of us personally inspects every single print. If it doesn't meet our promise of excellence, it's remade — no exceptions.
Everything you need to know about our metal print process.
Dye-sublimation is a printing process where heat transforms solid dye into gas, which then permanently bonds with the metal panel. Unlike surface printing, the image becomes part of the metal itself, creating rich colors that won't peel, crack, or fade under normal indoor conditions.
Our metal prints are designed to last many decades without fading when displayed indoors. They're waterproof and UV-protected. The dye-sublimation process permanently infuses the image into metal, ensuring exceptional durability. Dye-sublimation is widely trusted for professional and archival printing.
Standard production time is 3 business days from order confirmation. Each print goes through our 4-phase process: digital optimization, dye-sublimation, finishing, and quality inspection. Rush options are available upon request.
For the best results, we recommend high-resolution images of at least 300 DPI at the target print size. Our configurator automatically analyzes your uploaded image and warns you if the resolution is too low. We accept JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and TIFF formats up to 50MB. Our digital optimization phase also enhances color calibration and sharpness before printing.
Glossy finish produces incredible depth and color saturation with a smooth reflective surface, ideal for high-contrast photos and dark rooms. Matte finish offers an elegant satin surface with no reflections or glare, perfect for bright rooms and walls opposite windows. Both finishes use the same dye-sublimation process and offer identical durability and UV protection.
Your trust means everything to us.
Each print is created with precision, care, and a level of craftsmanship we deeply stand behind. If anything about your experience feels less than exceptional, reach out to us — we'll always find a fair and thoughtful solution.
