Slickrock™ Metallic Silver Pro
Real metal.
Not a coating.
Light hits it differently.
Blacks hold.
Highlights stay alive.
Slickrock Metallic Silver Pro is an inkjet paper built on a real aluminum surface. Not a coating. Not an effect. An actual metal layer beneath the print surface. It runs through standard aqueous inkjet printers with no special equipment required.
Side by Side
Experience
Drag the slider. Same image, two papers. The one on the right has real metal in it.
What happens with your image?
Light hits the surface differently. Blacks hold. Highlights stay alive. As light moves, the image moves with it. You see it in the print.
How it works.
A real aluminum surface sits beneath the inkjet coating. Not a pigment. Not a finish. An actual metal layer. That changes how the print behaves. Blacks deepen. Color carries more weight. The image doesn’t sit flat on the page.
When it works best.
Not every image needs it. The right one does. The sheet itself is silver, so unprinted areas will read silver, not white. This paper rewards images built on contrast, reflection, and surface:
- chrome
- glass
- water
- architecture
- night light
- bold black and white
Printer friendly.
Print it on the inkjet you already own. Runs through standard aqueous systems with pigment or dye inks. No new process. No rigid panels.
For Photographers
Images that rely on contrast and surface.
For years, metal prints meant sending files out for dye-sublimation. You don’t have to do that anymore. With Slickrock™ Metallic Silver Pro, you can print it yourself, work from your file, and see the result immediately.
For Labs and Print Professionals
Real metal. No new production line.
Add metal to your offering without changing how you print. A flexible sheet, not a rigid panel. Runs through standard aqueous inkjet workflows with dye or pigment inks. Same shipping, same handling, same color management as any heavyweight inkjet paper.
