The final product is checked for color accuracy, defects, and adhesion strength.
Sheets are packed carefully to prevent damage during transport.
The printed aluminum sheet is cut to size using CNC machines, lasers, or shears.
Additional shaping (bending or embossing) may be performed if needed.
A clear protective layer (lacquer, clear coat, or lamination) enhances durability.
This prevents scratches, fading, and weather-related damage.
The aluminum sheet is cleaned to remove dirt, oils, and oxidation.
Chemical or mechanical treatments (such as sanding or acid etching) improve adhesion.
A special coating or primer is applied to enhance ink adhesion and durability.
This step prevents corrosion and ensures long-lasting print quality.
The desired image or design is digitally processed.
Color separations and adjustments are made to match the final print specifications.
Various methods can be used:
UV Printing (direct inkjet on aluminum)
Screen Printing (for thick ink layers and durability)
Sublimation (heat transfer of ink onto a coated aluminum sheet)
UV inks are cured instantly with UV light.
Screen-printed inks may require heat curing.
Sublimated prints are set using high-temperature presses.
