Printing can be on to a range of thickness to meet your requirement for any project. Acrylic extruded sheet is available in standard size of 3M x 2M & can also be tiled. Acrylic is available in a vast range of standard colours opaque, translucent also transparent.
The Designers image can be printed direct to the opaque acrylic sheet in full colour. This creates stunning eye catching images. To avoid colour loss & to retain the strength of colour a white panel or spot white areas can be printed with the full colour image printed over the white area.
The transparent acrylic sheet offers further flexibility for design. The image can be printed in the same way as the opaque. A further option is to under surface print. This option simply means that the full colour image is printed on to the under side of the acrylic. The full colour printing is then over printed with white ink in the areas required. This offers opacity to the full colour image. This printing system offers protection to the ink as it is behind the acrylic. The image is correct reading from the front of the acrylic. White text of any point size can also be printed on it’s own to ether face or reverse of the acrylic sheet. The white needs to be shown as a fifth colour within your art work file. Clear areas can be left with in the print area to accommodate TV or computer screens to be affixed.
The printed acrylic sheet of any thickness can be cut to any shape. Just supply a Vector file to path with the art work. Extra apertures for fittings or dials can be cut at the same time as the profile cutting. The cutting is as revolutionary as the printing.
This process offers a wide product range from display panels, operating panels, dash boards, graphic display panels for promotional stands to wall mounted display panels with stand off fittings, counter tops & signs.

What is Variable wide format printing Why do you not use it
Posted by Repro Arts in Uncategorized on 12th January 2012
Print buyers & designers still do not get wide format variable printing. What do they not understand about printing it. It is what retailers have wanted for years. Why are the buyers & designers not giving the end user what they want & need.
How often do you see an ill fitting window poster far to large or small for the window, or piece of Point of Sale that is too small for the area.
Variable wide format printing solves this & offers much much more. Variable wide format printing offers the use of full colour images with solid area or white text on clear. Each print can be produced to its own size or shape. If you have 100 stores each with 10 windows & each window is its own size. You require a poster to fit the full extent of each window. The 1,000 posters can all be printed at the same time with each poster being a different size to the other. Why would you settle for one size fits all when the campaign can fill all the windows at there unique sizes.
It does not finish there. Yes you want to keep your branding, your campaign theme & colour through out. Change the text no not the campaign text you want to keep that corporate. 100 stores in 100 City or towns make each store feel like home. Sale starts in Manchester / Sale in Norwich . If your company offers concessions in store this could read welcome to Hull or Hatfield.
Branded but individual. It is not just the text printing that can change it could also be a product or a store manager picture in full colour different on each poster.
Variable printing is not just rested to posters all types of Point of Sale can be produced this way all on a large array of materials. All other printing & finishing options are not affected.
So why is your company not taking up wide format printing variable solutions for Point of Sale
