    Anyone know of anywhere that can print images onto sheet metal – steel, Alu etc? I’ve found lots of expensive art/gallery type places, but after something a bit cheaper……
    Size about 10x15cm

    Try a sign maker.

    Astley Signs are good if you’re in the North East, pretty sure they can do that sort of thing.

    Screen printing will do it.

    Edit, or ink jet, but harder to find.

    Screen printing will do it.

    This – did lots of it back in the day creating artwork for custom remote control units.

    Find a jobbing old school printer and it will be very cheap. It’s years and years since I last bought screen printing but I’d guess at around £50 screen set-up charge then another £25 for the printing.

    As above though, computer-cut self-adhesive stuff is very good too, but struggles at very small type sizes.
