In today’s competitive business landscape, capturing attention is key. While vibrant colours and crisp graphics are essential, imagine taking your printing and signage projects to the next dimension – literally! At Burke Group, we’re revolutionizing the way businesses communicate with the power of 3D printing, focusing on textured ink printing offering innovative solutions for raised images, enhanced design styles, and even braille signage!
Gone are the days of flat, one-dimensional signs. With our state of the art SwissQ Impala 4 Flatbed printer, Burke Group can create truly impactful and tactile prints that demand attention and leave a lasting impression across businesses in Edmonton and Calgary.
The Magic Behind the Texture: How 3D Ink Printing Works
So, how do we create these incredible 3D effects on your printing and signage projects? It’s all thanks to the sophisticated capabilities of our SwissQ Impala Printer. This cutting edge technology utilizes a precise process of layered ink application, combined with UV curing lamps. Here’s a simplified breakdown:
- Digital Design: Your design is prepared digitally, with specific areas designated for the 3D effect.
- Layered Ink Application: Our flatbed printer precisely lays down multiple layers of specialized ink. Each subsequent layer builds upon the last, creating a raised, tactile surface.
- UV Curing: After each layer of ink is applied, powerful UV curing lamps instantly dry and harden the ink. This rapid curing process ensures that each layer maintains its shape and integrity, preventing smudging or flattening.
- Precise Registration: Critical to the success of 3D textured prints is incredibly precise registration. Our SwissQ Impala 4 ensures that every single ink layer aligns perfectly, guaranteeing that your raised images, intricate patterns, and fine details are flawlessly executed, every single time.
This meticulous process allows us to achieve stunning raised images that pop off the surface, create intricate textures that beg to be touched, and deliver unparalleled visual engagement for your printing and signage projects.
Unlock New Design Possibilities: Beyond Flat Printing
The applications for 3D textured ink printing are vast and exciting, offering numerous benefits for businesses.
- Visually Engaging Signs with Raised Images: Imagine your logo, key text, or specific graphics literally standing out from your sign. Raised images add a premium feel and instantly draw the eye, making your signs more memorable and impactful. This is perfect for storefronts, reception areas, and eye-level displays.
- Enhanced Design Styles and Tactile Appeal: Forget simply seeing your design – now you can feel it. 3D textured ink allows for the creation of unique patterns, intricate details, and simulated textures (like wood grain, fabric, or even abstract patterns) directly on your sign. This adds a sophisticated and luxurious touch that sets your printing project apart from the competition, creating a truly sensory experience for your customers. This level of enhanced design elevates your brand’s presence.
- Accessible Signage with Braille: Perhaps one of the most impactful applications of 3D textured ink printing is the ability to produce ADA-compliant Braille signage. By precisely layering ink to create the raised dots required for Braille, Burke Group can help businesses ensure their spaces are inclusive and accessible to everyone. This is a vital service for public buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and any business committed to universal accessibility.
Ideal Substrates for 3D Textured Ink
While our SwissQ Impala 4 Flatbed printer is incredibly versatile, certain substrates are particularly well-suited for 3D textured ink printing to achieve the best results for your signage projects:
- Acrylic: Known for its sleek, high-end finish, acrylic signs become even more striking with the addition of 3D textured ink. The raised elements provide a beautiful contrast to the smooth surface, enhancing both visual appeal and tactile interest.
- Polystyrene: This lightweight and versatile material is an excellent canvas for 3D printing. The rigid surface of polystyrene allows for clean, well-defined raised elements, making it an economical yet impactful option for various signage needs.
- Dibond: With its aluminum composite exterior, Dibond signs gain a unique dimension when combined with 3D textured ink. The robust nature of Dibond ensures the longevity of the raised elements, making it ideal for durable, visually compelling outdoor signage.
