Our Unique Process

Using a sublimation transfer process; line art graphics, photographs or other digital media are permanently impregnated into an extremely durable substrate (hardboard, MDF, aluminum, steel, fiberglass reinforced plastic, laminate, glass and ceramic tile). The finished surface is impervious to most materials and has been designed to meet the most rigid specifications. The result is a high resolution and extremely durable print. There are a variety of finishes available such as high gloss, low gloss and matte.

Completely Customized

The sublimation process lends itself to mass customization (“100 pieces, each different”), allowing for small (one) to medium (thousands) size runs. This enables highly customized designs, while still keeping on budget. Our process can be done on endless sizes and shapes, from coasters to large displays. We also offer a variety of cut-to-size, shaping and routing to fit your special needs.
