PRINT QUALITY

Print quality is superb if the surface is very flat (like acrylic sheet). 

 

Print quality degrades with variances in distance. 

Print Quality

MATERIAL TYPE

Can print on most materials except mirrored and foam core board.

​

Reflective and blurry material is OK (if you can see yourself in the material, it is too much of a mirror). 

 

Some metals (like copper) require preparation before being printed on.  Graphics printed on acrylic are safe to laser cut afterwards.

Some of the examples were taken straight from the substrate printing lab. It is recommended that you take a visit and see the examples physically to see the textures on each project.​

White can either be a 'cover' or a 'base'. The first image on the left shows white being used as a 'cover'.

Layers of the same image can produce interesting levels of depth in the print like shown here of the hallway.

In this example, the image on the right is printed without a base. The image on the left has a white base, allowing a brighter end result.
