    Default How to print on stainless steel

    I have recently stumbled upon the work of Montreal Photographer Nicolas Ruel Nicolas Ruel Photographer - Exhibition, and am intrigued how he goes about printing on stainless steel.

    Just out of curiosity, I am wondering if anyone has any insight into the process.
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos

    Are you sure it's stainless steel?

    I believe I've seen similar work up close and I believe it's aluminum - under the brand name Dibond - It's an interesting look, but no true whites.
    might be this Dibond Aluminium Composite Panels

    Runmonty,Marko -There is a book titled "Digital Alchemy" by Bonny Pierce Lhotka that describes how you can use an inkjet printer to print images on virtually anything including metel. If you google the name/title you will get some info and a video. I have the book as I was intrigued by the possibilities but it seems one can only order the material from her from the US and in quite large quantities - which means twice the cost by the time it gets to Canada. So haven't pursued it. Watch the video on Google - it's a transfer process.

    Does not explain how he prints but does explain how he captures the photos, which at first I thought were double exposures, but are instead camera movement over an 8 second exposure. The effect is quite cool, I gotta give this a try now.
