Have had several; done on Kodak paper with great results. Am now using a 
"metallic" inkjet paper from Red River Paper with good, although less 
dramatic results. You'[re right, it demands certain images. most of mine 
have been done for a client that is a contractor that works in refineries, 
power plants and chemical plants, so it's perfect, but I understand that it 
is becoming popular with some wedding photogs. But they probably only want 
something that looks different. There is someone locally that mounts prints 
on aluminum, and it looks good although hard to hang. I have seen ads for 
someone that prints on aluminum, presumably with  an emulsion coating, but I 
don't see how they do that. Perhaps like to old emulsion transfer process 
for canvas?

Lab down here offers that.  I had a couple of pix done on metallic paper 
(not aluminum plate) and found that you've REALLY got to have the right 
image for the process.  Otherwise it just looks strange.

It doesn't seem to suit me.
