New printing options available from Orms: You can now print your digital photos onto aluminium or glossy perspex!
Prints on aluminium and glossy perspex are now available from Orms!
Print on Metal
Printing on our 1.5mm thick aluminium substrate results in a unique metalic look, creating a vibrant image. Prints include the hanging mechanism.
Print on Perspex
The high-gloss perspex substrate offers you an alternative look to a regular canvas print. Prints are done on 2mm thick perspex and include the hanging mechanism.
Pricing for both substrates starts at R299. Sizes: A3, A2 and A1. Example prints are on display at both of our stores, so pop in and have a look. For more info, please email the Orms Print Room or ask us in store.
Awesome!! Excellent. Are the prices the same for both Perspex and Metal? And what are the other prices per size? Does it come ready to mount?
Hi Riaz, the prices are the same for both substrates, A3 for R299, A2 for R399, and A1 for R599. Everything comes ready to hang on your wall!
They sent me a pricelist that had the A3 print as R299….hmmm… wonder if they will honour this price.
Hi Marc, the previous price was a miscommunication. The post has been updated to reflect the correct pricing. Apologies about the confusion!
What is the largest size you can print on in perspex.
Hi Linzi, our perspex prints go up to A1, but we might be able to help you out with larger prints if required. Please contact Digiprint for more: http://digiprint.co.za
Hi, How much to print a 120cm X 64 cm artwork on either perspex or metal. Also advice on what kind of subjects look better on metal than perspex. Will it still be able to hang a 120cm perspex without the surface bending?
Hi Bernie, we can do a 120x64cm print for you, but Pam or Andre will get back to you via email with a cost estimate. In terms of what would look better, the perspex has a high gloss finish that makes colourful images ‘pop’, while the metal print is more suitable for images with a lot of white in them – we don’t print the white layer, so the metal effectively becomes the white layer in the image which creates a striking effect. Perhaps you can send the photo to us and we can offer more advice on the best substrate? We haven’t had any problems with the perspex prints warping at 120cm sizes in the past.
Hi There, just want to make sure. If i print a photo on metal or perspex will it be able hang outside.
Hi Marelie,
Andre recommends against printing on our metal or perspex substrates for exterior use. The UV-cured ink that we use will hold up well in direct sunlight, but the perspex will warp and discolour, and both the perspex and metal will scratch when you wipe it clean (if it gets dusty or rain spots). However, we do have a few solutions for you, such as printing on banner material or on a different, special metal substrate designed for outdoor signage. Please email andree@orms.co.za for more information.
Do you deliver to jhb and at what cost? What is the cost of printing a clack and white image on A1 and A0?
Hi there, yes we do deliver to Johannesburg. An A1 metal print is R699 and A0 is R999, and an A1 perspex print is R699 and A0 is R1899 (due to thicker perspex and a metal backing frame). Courier costs need to be calculated on a per-print basis, but usually start at R150.
Do you deliver to jhb? And at what cost?
What’s the cost of printing a black and white image onto Perspex sizes A0 and A1?
Do you print custom sizes? 15cm X 15cm ? Can you print from an Instagram source? Price?
I have made a grid for b&w photos on A1 size. The current color of the spaces between the grids are white. If I make these spaces transparent, will you be able to print on perspex without affecting the white in the photographs itself but still discard the white spaces. I am preparing for an exhibition at WHAG in Kimberley in September this year and I want to explore perspex-printing. Regards. Attie
