Front Panels and Graphic Overlays

For five decades, front panel graphic overlays have looked pretty much the same….."industrial". That's because screenprinting hasn't changed much either. It still prints one spot color at a time, with coarse-looking 65-to-100-line screen resolutions, and limited design options. But that was then.

Get ready to think about graphic overlays in a whole new light!

With our Indigo S2000 digital printing press, Technigraphics can print virtually any graphic that can be designed on just about any substrate. Spot colors, too? You bet. And with 4- or 6-color process-color combinations of screen resolutions up to 230 lines per inch, you can get dazzling, bright colors, fades and gradients (drop shadows) that will add stunning visual appeal and clarity to any graphic overlay.

Digitally printing your graphic overlays eliminates costly films, screens, and press setup times associated with traditional multi-color screenprinting. This also allows for fast turnaround times. Click here to learn more about our Rapid Prototyping overlay service.
