Evermore for Less and LessWinning a project proposal means being able to deliver more for less. This CEU will explore ways to bring dazzle to your projects and delight clients by using materials that:

Offer fresh, stunning visuals

at a fraction of the cost of materials

typically specified to deliver the same impact

Are more durable and

easier to care for than

traditionally specified materials

In most cases, installation is

quick, easy, and may go on top

of existing surfaces,

minimizing hassle and mess

About Fusion Imaging & Digital Printing

Any high resolution image can be formatted for the Fusion or digital printing process. The Fusion process literally fuses the color or image into the substrate

A variety of substrates can be used depending on the application and the properties of the material

Substrates - Aluminum

• Easy to clean and install

• Satin, gloss, and white coated finishes available

• Light weight• Resist stains

and scratching• Sleek and

modern

FRPFRP panels can either be smooth

or textured and are available in a

variety of thicknesses and

sizes. This substrate is great

for food preparation areas,

bathrooms, and other wet areas.

Ceramic TileCeramic tile can

be fused or digitally printed with your images or custom design.

Ceramic tile is great for

applications such as floors, murals,

and signage

Wood

An image can be fused or digitally

printed onto plywood or

hardboard. Our fusion process

preserves the look and beauty of the

wood and on hardboard it gives a vibrant, photo-realistic image.

GlassGlass can be imaged for

backsplashes, tabletops, doors, countertops, and wall applications.

Solid color or translucent glass can be created

with the infusing of color.

Translucent glass may be backlit

FabricUsing the fusion

process with fabric is ideal for

unique wallcoverings,

furniture wraps, upholstery,

artwork, and displays. Several different weights and weaves can

be used

Acrylic, Clear PVC, & Polycarbonate These substrates

may be fused or digitally printed

for backsplashes, tabletops, door

& cabinet inserts, and

other interior applications

where translucency is desired. These substrates can

be backlit.

Other Available Substrates

Sintra Board-Great for POP

displays, exhibits, kiosks,

framing, and signage

Aluminum Composite- Great for

outdoor use, POP displays,

exhibits, kiosks,

framing, and signage

Most of our MirroFlex

finishes- Great for signage,

branding, and logo

applications. 3 dimensional

available

recycled material and is compatible with LEED MR4 recycled content

credit

Easy to fabricate and install-can even be

installed with a pressure sensitive adhesive

backing, staples, or screws

Clean with mild soap and water- never

abrasive materials or harsh detergents

Thermoplastic Applications

ATI Decorative laminates

manufactures all of these exciting

alternative materials. With these solutions,
