=== Painting and printing ===
Metalprint is a commonplace process that prints color ink on aluminum, which is then anodized into place. The result is a very high-resolution artwork, better than screenprinting, and tougher than other methods because the anodized oxide coating is very tough and protects the artwork.<ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40040 Who does silkscreened panels in the US?], Muff Wiggler forum, Aug 2011, reply by ersatzplanet</ref> Many companies offer this service. They typically do not perform drilling, punching, or other sheet-metal fabrication; such operations would have to be performed by a sheet-metal specialist or by the manufacturer.
