Has anyone purchased Aluminarte from Image Wizards?

[Muse's Daydream]

I received three Aluminarte(tm) print samples in the mail today from a company called Image Wizards (...I authorized the shipment after receiving a sales email). Specifically, I received 2 samples on aluminum (gloss and satin finishes) and 1 piece on birch (satin finish). All three look stunning. I am considering using this company for selected prints and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them? The prices are reasonable and the product is nice, I just want to cover all my bases.

Thanks!!

I received that email too- I didn't request the samples though- They are exhibiting at Cheap Joes this weekend, I think, at Cheap Joes Open House- www.imagewizards.net.

Those items are sublimated. Sublimation inks hopefully have been improved but I am not sure how archival they are. Some sites to check out about sublimation if you are interested- www.sublimation.com, www.conde.com, and a company that makes gift items is www.studiovertu.com . Sublimation is great for decorative items, I wouldn't represent the reproductions as archival- I had a few art tiles change color severely over a few months sitting in a shop window. They may have improved the stability of the inks today as this was a few years ago.
