Displayways launches ground-breaking Tuffcover Embed printing technology

Having completed two years’ research with partners specialising in ink, printing and coating technologies, Displayways has launched Tuffcover Embed as a ‘world first’ solution for embedding print ink in solid surfaces.

The technology provides the highest print and image quality for applications such as display panels, lecterns, signage, table tops and art pieces – for both indoor or outdoor use.

The Tuffcover surface is scratch resistant, can be cleaned with normal cleaning fluids and will last more than seven years. The product range is available in wood, aluminium, steel and MDF up to 2400mm x 1200mm.

Using dye-based inks, images and artworks are transferred into a specially-coated surface using heat and pressure, with the ink embedded within the surface’s coating. The advertised print permanence of seven years may well be longer, too, with indoor use likely to have greater longevity depending on UV light levels.

Surfaces

    Panels are lightweight, durable, made with recycled material and 100% recyclable. They are the perfect medium for displaying artwork and photography in a variety of applications
  • EXTERNAL ALUMINIUM (for extended outdoor use)
    Provides the ability to take prints outdoors, or into direct sunlight with the image quality and durability. These UV resistant panels come in a variety of common sizes to serve the signage, display and outdoor photography markets. Available in white gloss
  • MDF
    Offers the perfect combination of durability and longevity for creating and displaying beautiful, vibrant signage or artwork with a traditional look
  • HARDBOARD
    Panels are available in 3 mm and 6 mm thick board and provide superior image reproduction as well as scratch, abrasion and stain resistance
  • STEEL
    Dry erase panels are specially formulated with a dry erase coating. They are easy to write on and wipe off and offer the ability to customise with logos, artwork or photography. Steel panels are not only magnetic, but also offer superior scratch, abrasion and stain resistance
  • NATURAL WOOD

Extensively tested Tuffcover Embed panels offer unprecedented resistance to surface abrasion, high humidity, atmospheric ozone, and contact with water and can be safely displayed without the need for framing, face-mounting or surface laminating.
