A process for printing in photo-sensitive anodised aluminum. The impression is captured subsurface and is protected from the harshest of environments whether it is used indoors or outdoors.
Thicknesses range from .003” to .125”.

Metalphoto can be machined and fabricated to produce control panels, faceplates and dials for installation onto equipment. It is an excellent choice for prototype work, short, medium or large production runs when nothing but the best will do. MetalPhoto meets many military specifications.

Permanent Process: Another process for subsurface printing in anodised aluminum. Using a silk screening process the ink is deposited into the metal and the metal is sealed afterwards. Available in .020”, .032” and .063” thicknesses (other thicknesses may be specially ordered). Permanent process can be machined and fabricated. It is an excellent choice for medium to large volumes.

Etched Nameplates: A process where an acid is used to etch an image into stainless steel, brass or aluminum. The etched image is then filled with a paint colour. This process is ideal for medium to large volumes and for applications where only stainless steel may be used.

Lexan: A polycarbonate sheet in various thicknesses (.005”,.010”,.015” and .020”) and finishes. It is a common product used for control panels and membrane switches. The image is printed on the reverse side (subsurface) and laminated to an adhesive. Lexan can then be die-cut to any shape required including the cutting out of internal holes for switches. It is an ideal product when there are colourful graphics or if there is a need for clear windows in the label. Lexan is good for medium to large volumes.
