The two hour session covered the a comprehensive range of options available if you want to have your images printed on metal.
Topics covered included: the metal printing process, description of the equipment used to produce metal prints, description of the various types of metal print aluminum panels including sizes, shapes and finishes.
The presentation also provided a comprehensive list of northern Bay-area printing service providers that can produce metal prints, including merchants such as Costco, Adorama and specialty photo printing labs.
Club members were also able to inspect sample metal prints that showcased the various print finishes such as: gloss, semi-gloss, mat, and clear.

Print SIG
What it's all about.
"If it's not on paper it's not a photograph!!"
Those might be fighting words for some of our members, but there are those among us that believe in the sentiment. The Print SIG is for them.
The Print Special Interest Group will meet quarterly (January, April, June, October) on the 4th Wednesday of the month in the Orchard Creek Lodge Multi-purpose Room, from 10:30am to 11:30 am, immediately after the Round Table SIG.
The SIG is dedicated to advancing the art of putting images on paper. Members are encouraged to present their photographs for discussion and evaluation. We also explore printing techniques, printing papers, matting and framing techniques and the software tools used to prepare our images for printing.
While many of our members use their own desktop printers to print their images, others use the services of third-party printing solutions such as Costco, Bay Photo, Aspen Creek and others.
If you want to learn about printing, preparing your images for third-party services, or improving your printing techniques and methods, this it the place to get the information you need.
If you want to learn more about the group, stop by and check out one of our meetings.
