Overview

PRINTING TO A SURFACE

BESPOKE PRINTED SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO YOU

Our printing capabilities allow us to print directly onto almost anything, as long as it’s flat. From our state-of-the-art in-house production facility, we deliver digital printing, surface printing, and direct flatbed printing on a wide variety of materials for indoor and outdoor use. These include Foamex, Dibond, MDF, acrylic, toughened glass, wood, leather, and even ceramics. Challenge us with something new!

 

PRINTING TO FOAMEX

PVC foam sheet (Foamex) is a lightweight material with good mechanical and insulation properties. It has good chemical resistance with low water absorption and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It has low impact strength and due to its range of colours it is often used for signage and displays. It is available as a solid acrylic sheet and is available in four thicknesses 3mm foam PVC, 5mm Foam PVC, 10mm Foam PVC and 19mm Foam PVC. It is also available in white and black finishes.

It is mainly used for signage, sign letters, banners and exhibition display panels and is the preferred choice for professional digital printers due to its fine cell structure and high quality smooth finish. Foamex is easy to cut to shape, allowing designers to create attractive graphic panels for exhibitions and advertising applications. It is a cost effective alternative to plywood, Dibond, MDF and aluminium, and actually looks far more expensive than it is. Foamex is extremely durable and has a life expectancy of 5-7 years. Foamex is a strong, rigid material, and can be hung with screws through drilled holes, double sided Velcro, double sided tape or double sided adhesive pads. Foamex has been classified as a recyclable material as with all types of plastics.

 

PRINTING TO MDF

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood. Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) benefits from cost savings compared to real wood because MDF boards are man-made from wood fibres, rather than particles. It is very strong and has high moisture resistance, preventing warping.

We print personal designs directly onto MDF and easily cut and machine it into bespoke shapes and sizes. The smooth, strong surface of MDF provides an ideal core material for components requiring precision and durability.

 

PRINTING TO LEATHER

Short custom runs as well as long production runs.. There are no size limitations except the size of the skin. We can put images on leather panels as well as pre-cut patterned pieces.

The ability to apply graphics to leather provides designers with unlimited opportunities to create their leather pieces with colour images  with our process it is possible to create truly unique custom leather pieces  one piece at a time or do large production runs that can then be made into be that footwear, furniture, book cover, car seat cover, clothing, accessories

 

PRINTING TO CORREX

Corrugated plastic or corriboard refers to a wide range of extruded twinwall plastic-sheet products produced from high-impact polypropylene resin. Predominantly used in the printing industry for signage. The benefits of Correx are it’s cheap, lightweight, waterproof and also recyclable. We recommend using Correx for short tern signage solutions, or when a high quality product is not necessary. An example of this would be directional signage used at a music festival. The material itself is low cost and provides a good quality of graphic.

 

PRINTING TO GLASS

Glass printing covers a vast array of applications from decorative to architectural. For many years glass has been screen printed however, more recently, glass printing has embraced the benefits of digital inkjet technology to address the need for single pieces and short runs. Digital printing can be particularly beneficial for glass applications such as imaging on building windows, doors, interior design features, splashbacks and shower screens.

In the commercial and domestic interior design environment, glass can solve a range of creative and functional challenges. For example, printed glass can be used to diffuse unwanted light, offer UV protection and add security while on the decorative side, glass can add colour and brighten up interiors with partitions, room dividers or feature walls. What’s more, the advent of sophisticated window graphic films means it is now possible to use glass as a backdrop for creative digitally printed graphics which can easily be replaced as needs or tastes change.

CASE STUDY

FOOT ASYLUM

Sector:

RETAIL

Products used:

OSB BOARD

We printed to lots of different materials for several Footasylum stores across the UK. One interesting substrate was using OSB board – a cost effective solution for display back panels. We printed directly to the material on our hybrid flatbed printer and it was cut on-site during the shop fitting process.

Lincoln University

Sector:

Property

Products used:

Acrylic and White Ink

This is a clever use of ink on a high-gloss surface. Our state-of the art UV printer has a matte texture once the ink is cured and this process created a wonderful effect of the black ink on a glossy black acrylic sheet. Teamed with our white ink, this technique delivered stunning results for the University Building.
