Question about Aluminium prints. I'm in the UK and looking to get a print done here A0 size.

I wanted it on aluminium but after researching it a bit I'm so confused.

​

From my understanding there is

Chromalux (dye sublimation) - which is only glossy - which I'm ruling out as I want something more satin

​

Then after this is where I am confused, I see

Dibond - printed directly onto (white and brushed metal)

Dibond - printed onto paper and then put onto dibond

Then I see reviews online of just whats listed as "metal prints" from like bayphoto, but to me they look like the chromalux - they appear to be dye sublimation but have a choice of finishes.

​

I'm in the UK so I don't have bay photo - so is there an equivalent to these prints in the UK?

​

Theres photobox - which seem to have Dibond printed directly - good value @ £62

whitewall, which seem to have direct to dibond - at £237

Are these the same?

​

White wall with the paper print mounted on dibond - £309

White wall chromalux - £390

Then I see reviews online of just what's listed as "metal prints" from like bayphoto, which looks like the chromalux with dye sublimation but has a choice of finishes.

​

Are these Direct to aluminium good quality? or would I be better sticking with paper print mounted on aluminium / or the chromalux

​

🤷‍♂️ please help :)
