Matte (Direct Print) Metal Prints for Durable Custom Wall Art
Matte metal prints offer a clean, low-glare alternative to gloss metal while still delivering strong color, crisp detail, and a sleek modern aluminum presentation.

What Is This Product?
Matte (direct print) metal prints are aluminum wall art panels printed directly with latex inks onto a white coated metal surface. Unlike dye-sublimated gloss metal, this version emphasizes a non-reflective matte look while still keeping the clean frameless style that makes metal prints popular for contemporary wall décor.
Material Details
Each print uses white coated aluminum with a matte finish and a panel thickness of 0.04 inches. The material is built for indoor display and is described as scratch resistant and crack resistant, making it suitable for both home and professional applications where a durable printed surface matters.
Print Technology
These prints are direct printed using latex inks for strong color vibrancy and long-lasting durability. The print system also includes UV inhibitors and delivers a surface that is water resistant and anti-yellowing. This combination makes matte direct-print metal a dependable option for customers who want professional-looking wall art with reduced glare and long-term display performance.
Mounting and Display
Matte metal prints float approximately 3/4 inch off the wall and include pre-installed 1.25 inch wood mounting on the backside for hanging on the available standard matte sizes. There is no hardware choice during checkout because the included mounting is part of the product build for those standard sizes.
Available matte metal print sizes with included wood mounting
11×14, 12×12, 16×20, 16×24, 18×36, 20×30, 24×36, 24×48.
Best Uses for Matte Metal Prints
Matte metal is a great fit for offices, lobbies, commercial spaces, professional portfolios, family photos, black-and-white photography, informational displays, and modern interiors where you want the sleek look of aluminum without extra glare. It is also useful in spaces with strong natural or overhead light because the matte finish offers a softer visual effect than high gloss metal.
Matte Metal Prints vs Gloss Metal Prints
Choose matte metal prints when you want a smoother low-glare finish, direct-print production, and a more subdued surface appearance. Choose gloss metal prints when you want the ultra-vibrant shine and dye-sublimated ChromaLuxe® look. Both products offer durable custom aluminum wall art, but the finish and print process create two distinct visual styles.
Care
To clean matte metal prints, use a non-abrasive cloth dampened with water. This simple care routine helps maintain the print surface without introducing unnecessary abrasion.
