Technology description
Plasticisation or photopanel
Technology
There are several modern technologies for printing photos on glass or under glass. The most popular and current method today is plasticization. In essence, plasticization is a finishing operation, i.e., it gives your images a stylish finished look, transforming photos into interior and decor objects.
This process creates sort of a 3-layer sandwich with an image printed photo paper in the middle, on the front side of the photo is melted into an acrylic glass, and at the rear it is covered with aluminium composite material. Thus, the effect of placing a photo in the glass is achieved.
Advantages
- The technology completely removes air and moisture from the sandwich thus the completed work has no internal reflections. The photo acquires volume and depth, the colours become brighter and more saturated, the photo looks spectacular.
- The photo prints live decades longer. According to the Diasec technology developers, plasticised photos become almost eternal.
- The use of specific glue turns the sandwich into a monolith. Photo emulsion has no contact with air or moisture. The acrylic glass is completely protected from exposure to ultraviolet light. The plasticised image does not fade or deform.
- Such photos do not require fillets or complex suspension systems.
- Plasticised glass panels have high aesthetic qualities.
