Applications › Interfaces & Control Graphics
Dial faces and scales carry fine graduations that have to be sharp and placed accurately. We print them on aluminum, polycarbonate or polyester from your artwork or from a scan of the original, cut the center hole and outline, and hold the registration so the needle reads where it should.
Typical examples
- Gauge faces for instruments and vehicles
- Scale plates for valves, dials and meters
- Reproduction dial faces for restored equipment
- Backlit instrument faces
- Custom-range faces for rebuilt gauges
