Here are two examples of thermal printed jobs.  Decals can be easily printed in a variety of spot or process colors and cut to any shape without a die charge.  Decals over 12 inches can be paneled to a virtually unlimited size.

For photographic images, four colors are printed in layers.  The first color printed is yellow.

 The second color printed is magenta. The third color printed is cyan. The final color printed is black, usually followed by a layer of clear.

Images over 12" in height are printed in panels, and are applied to the substrate separately. The second panel is carefully applied and overlaps the first panel slightly. The substrate, in this case corrugated plastic, is inserted in the "Swing Sign" frame extrusion. The finished 18" x 24"  "Swing Sign" is extremely resistant to wind and easily grabs attention.

This decal job is being printed in spot colors, each is applied separately. After all the colors are printed, a clear 2 mil laminate is applied to give extra resistance from chemicals and abrasion. Next, the laminated decals are sent to the plotted to cut them to size and shape. Finally, the unwanted vinyl is weeded away and the decals are cut apart and sent to the customer.
