solvent printing

printing process

This process uses durable and vibrant inks that promote strong adhesion and excellent longevity. With a robust resistance to fading and scratching, solvent printing is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, there is no need for lamination which makes solvent printing very affordable.

uv printing

printing process

This state-of-the-art printing process uses ultra violet light to cure the ink onto a wide variety of rigid and flexible substrates. Once cured, the ink is bonded to the substrate and will not require lamination. UV ink, in conjunction with UV light, provides great longevity and vibrance to a multitude of graphic applications.

aqueous inkjet printing

printing process

Our HP's have excellent color and high resolution output. All graphics must be laminated in order to be properly protected from scratching and fading.

* Maximum sizes may change depending on how the graphic is finished. For example, an opaque graphic with a pebble finish mounted to Sintra could only have a maximum of 48" wide because of substrate limitations.

finishing

Unlike UV printed graphics, all Aqueous Inkjet graphics must be laminated. Laminating will protect printed film from damage and scratches. The same standard finishing techniques, such as applying magnets or velcro, are applied once the graphic has been laminated.
