Aluminium is a great medium for all types of signs and plaques. For sublimation purposes it is formulated with a special coating that allows ink to be infused into the surface, it is rust proof, rot proof and weather resistant.
Sublimating onto metal is a relatively new way of reproducing images and text. The sublimation process itself goes from a solid to a gas and then back to a solid, skipping the liquid state. The image or text is first printed onto a special transfer paper and then is adhered to pre-treated aluminum.
Aluminium signs are available in range of popular sizes and finishes such as silver, gold, and white and provides maximum detail and colour vibrancy. Thickness 0.5mm and 0.7mm
Sublimation aluminium signs have a host of advantages. Soap and water is usually all that is required to remove marks and finger prints on the surface, and being moisture proof they can resist changes in temperature, so can be used in kitchens, bathrooms and saunas without any problem.
