Testing the Alu-DiBond from zor.com

11/10/2017

Recently, I got contacted by zor.com, a Belgian print lab, that offers great prices for large prints on Alu-DiBond, Acrylic Glass and Forex. At first I was skeptical if they could provide a quality print with the low rates, they are putting out there. Hence, I moved ahead and went to get a 90x60cm image on Alu-DiBond (which they provided for free). 
I am pleasantly surprised with the result!

The packaging is rather basic and not the most stable, yet it was enough to get the image to me undamaged.

I ordered the print one week ago, with the production time being ten days I was happy to have it at home after 6 work days. Shipping through DPD was quick and delivery to a local pickup-shop comes without added cost (so does door-to-door shipping). The packing is not as sophisticated and stable as you would hope for, bit still the image was undamaged, only a little bending, which could be flattened out easily.

Picture
Great color retention, a matte finish and a fair share of details, over all a great "bang-for-the-buck" product.

After unwrapping the print from air-foil, I was happy to hold in hand a really good print, that is just a little dark (well that is on me I guess), but offers dynamic colors and most importantly great detail. The plate itself is lightweight and the material can be easily bend, which in my eyes would necessity a better packaging, especially as DPD is not known for handling deliveries with great care. The colors are on point and match what I see on my monitor. (Note: They offer ICC profiles and disclaim to send files in AdobeRGB, which helps). You can only upload JPEGs, TIFF would be great, but most labs I printed with don't offer that and so far I cannot complain about results that have been off. Below you see a 100% close, giving you an idea how detailed this monster is, I am really happy with the sharpness. Also added to the package a pack of 3M strips to hang the print on a wall (you can order them from Amazon as well).

Fine details are rendered nicely and sharpness is on point.


Pros:
-competetive pricing
-good color retention
-AdobeRGB colorspace
-matte finish of the Alu-DiBond looks very valuable
-fast delivery


Cons:
-packaging
-Alu-DiBond plate very flexible, minimal bending detected after unboxing


Summary:
I can only recommend you to try the products of zor.com, which come at a highly competitive rate and offer great value for the price.

Here you find their offers in Alu-DiBond products.
