Artists, photographers and brands alike are discovering the unique benefits of Vibrachrome™ metal prints by Duggal. These prints are ideal for museum and gallery exhibitions, environmental graphics, outdoor displays, retail, hospitality and many other use cases.
The process behind printing to metal is just as interesting as the final piece itself. A specially coated paper printed on a dye-sublimation press is transferred to a separate press that heats the print against the face of the metal at 400 degrees F. As the water in the ink evaporates, the ink transitions from a solid to gaseous state. After the metal cools, the ink becomes permanent and scratch-resistant, with no lamination needed.
