Applications › Decorated Parts & Secondary Operations
Most of what we are asked to print on is not in a catalog. We handle it with a trial print on your sample: adhesion check, primer if needed, white underbase for dark or clear surfaces, and a cured sample back to you before the run. If the trial says no, you hear that before anyone has spent money.
Typical examples
- Printing on customer-supplied metal, wood and stone
- Coated and powder-coated surfaces
- Leather, cork and composite panels
- Textured and uneven surfaces within 2 mm variation
- Odd shapes fixtured for flat printing
