I can see the savings although I think that the metal prints are better suited to highly saturated photos and wall floats certainly fit in to more decors. I no longer mat and frame except as requested by my customers. No matter what frame you pick, some one will not like it. I am experimenting now with printing my photos, having them mounted on black foam board, spraying them with a uv inhibitor and adding a french cleat to the back for displaying on the wall. We will see how that goes. The same print can still be framed if the customer prefers it.
