I've had a number of my images done by Bay Photo put on metal plates and I
think that medium has a lot going for it.
On the wall they float about 1/2" from the wall and have a modern feel to
them. With the conventional print in a frame you have the added task of
picking a mat, frame and glass which must add to the image or you stand the
chance of a potential buyer liking the image but not the frame, mat etc.
Plus I think your profit margin can be higher since you're not paying for
those frames, mats etc.
I normally wait for Bay Photo's special sales on the metal prints for added
savings.

In the past month or so I've sold five metal prints. Granted, not at
a
very high percentage profit, but even so, I think that is more paper
prints bigger than 4x6 that I've sold put together.
The format of not needing a frame, combined with metal works well
with
eye catching photos seems to make them very sellable.
