Metal Prints vs Canvas Prints: Which Is Superior?

Updated: Oct 20, 2023

During the caveman era, canvas prints reigned supreme. After analyzing the material of canvas prints, researchers have determined that they are made out of animal hide or dung that has been specially treated to make the smell more bearable.


Today, wall art prints have evolved into something much more superior—metal photo prints. Now, modern man can enjoy superior wall art that is vibrant, durable, easy to clean, and downright stunning.


Metal Prints vs Canvas Prints

Before jumping too far ahead, let’s first learn more about both prints so that we can end the metal prints vs canvas prints debate. Canvas prints are made of a fabric that is typically composed of cotton or polyester. An image is then printed onto the fabric, which is then stretched onto a frame.


On the other hand, metal prints typically involve sublimating an image onto an aluminum plate. This is done by using special ink to print an image on sublimation paper. The image is then infused onto a metal plate under high heat and pressure.


With that being said, what makes metal prints so unbelievably superior?


Vibrant

Two metal prints. One of a real dog and one of a cartoon dog playing poker.

Metal prints are known for being vibrant with sharp colors that won’t fade over time from sun exposure, as most are UV-resistant.


Durable

While a canvas print can easily be ripped, a metal print is far more durable. Metal prints are scratch-resistant and can take a beating. Furthermore, they’re waterproof, which makes them perfect for any location, including outdoors and in humid places like a bathroom.


Easy to Clean

Metal pictures are very easy to clean. In fact, if you want to, you can even spray them down with a hose! Bet you can’t do that with a canvas print.


Stunning

Imagine a blank wall… just waiting to be filled with wall art. You, the owner of this solitary and lonely wall, get to choose the type of wall art print—metal print or canvas print.


Being a rational being with taste, you recoil in disgust at putting up a canvas print. Then, as if struck by a bolt of happiness and joy, your mind thinks about putting up a metal print. How beautiful, stunning, fabulous, and downright irresistible that metal print would be!


Suddenly, that lonely forgotten wall will dawn a metal print that seems to wash away its unpopular past and rocket it into the future where it is praised beyond anything it could have even hoped to imagine.


In short, by choosing a metal print over a canvas print, you gifted that wall an attractiveness that causes all who pass by it to stop in amazement—drooling over its radiance.


Final Thoughts

With all that being said, I humbly and without a monetary incentive implore you to dawn your lonely walls with a type of wall art that is superior to all others.
