What kind of medium do you want to print on?

How Mediums Effect Images: No print medium is created equal. (34:06)

Metal - Best used for saturated prints with bold vivid colors. Durable aluminum for multiple display options as it’s easy to clean. (34:06)

Dye-Sublimation on Metal - Ink goes from gas to solid on he metal.

Acrylic - You can backlight acrylic. (37:12)

Glossy vs Matte Prints (38:21)

Glossy - The more glossy the paper, the more dynamic range it will support. Reflection can cause issues with displaying.

Matte - Low contrast images with bright skies, pastel colors, and flat light. Forgiving of all kinds of “flaws.”
