Question:
What is lamination?
Lamination refers usually to the application
of a clear film on top of the main printed material of the decal.
Laminating materials vary in thickness from 1/2 mil to 2 mil or more
and are often used to protect the printed surface from extreme abrasion
or to provide an extra high-gloss appearance.
Question:
What is sub-surface printing?
Sub-surface printing is a technique used for
items such as dashboard parts, control panels and other nameplates
that require the ultimate in durability. The printing is applied to
the undersurface of a clear or translucent plastic (usually polycarbonate)
so that the top surface of the decal has no ink exposed. The thickness
of the plastic protects the graphics from scratching, chemicals etc.
The adhesive is applied using a transfer tape after the printing is
complete. For more details on this type of decal contact customer
service.
Question:
What is a computer cut decal?
Computer cut decals are produced by cutting pressure
sensitive vinyl materials using a computer driven plotter that cuts
the vinyl rather than drawing with a pen like a conventional plotter.
There is a wide variety of coloured materials available. This method
is often used where a relatively low quantity of decals is needed. |
