Working closely with selected printing companies,
we are able to offer our clients a wide range of digital printing options.
Graphics are printed on high resolution machines outputting
the finest photographic quality images – ideal for all types of exhibition,
sales communication and marketing needs.
We can guide clients through the latest materials and printing options,
best suited to individual projects. Our design background guarantees
that the end result will be printing of the highest standard, all
correctly
finished for our D4 Displays. Accustomed to tight deadlines, we can turn
around most projects in 3 – 4 working days from receipt of artwork.
Banner materials suitable for all D4 Displays are featured here – including
information on finishes, durability, fire rating, material transparency and
storage factors.

Ink jet printers
Ink jet printers like the HP5000 output full colour CMYK
graphics using either water or pigment inks at resolutions
up to 1200dpi. Maximum printing width is 150cm. A wide
variety of specially coated media is available for these
machines. We recommended them where high quality graphics
are required which use photographic images, rich solid
colours or smooth graduated tones.

Direct to Media
Direct to media printers like the Durst Rho 160 can print
on to virtually any material up to a thickness of 40mm thick. It can
accept both flexible rolled media and rigid boards. Their solvent inks
adhere to most materials and are water proof and UV fade resistant. Maximum printing width is 158cm. Apparent output resolution is 720dpi. We recommend
these printers for volume work, specialist media and for external graphics.

Dye sublimation
Dye sublimation is used to print images
on to fabrics and is the process of changing ink particles
into gas, which are heat transferred into the textile.
The images are actually dyed into the fabric. The printing
process is two part. First graphics are printed on to
a carrier paper using Mimaki JV4 printing dye based dispersal
inks. The carrier film and fabric are then run through
heated rollers where the sublimation process occurs.
The advantages of dye sublimation are that textiles are
very durable and can be laundered. Fabrics are generally
lighter than other printing media making them easier
to transport and store. They also have a different look
and feel from paper or film based graphics. We recommend
these fabrics for use on curved D4 Screen displays.
