ChromaLuxe vs. Amazon | Metal Photo Printing comparison | Dye Sublimation

Making a metal panel is so cool, but there's cheap alternatives out there and you might wonder if they're worth the trouble. I make a few prints to compare the ChromaLuxe panel to a bargain option from Amazon. The results are very interesting. I get many of my materials from HeatPress Nation.
