Acrylic

PMI has been printing with many substrates and services for many years. One of our sought after print product is our Acrylic printing. We can print directly on Acrylic meaning that we can produce it quicker and the final product is more stable that other acrylic transfer methods. Many typical color print houses will print on a substrate and then transfer that printed image unto an Acrylic sheet. Making the piece vulnerable to air bubbles and and dirt falling in between the print, the adhesive and the acrylic. And to protect the piece, they will often apply a lamination that will also change the look of the final product.

With direct print application of your graphic to the acrylic, we bypass all that and give you the final piece ready for display, the print is permanently set on the acrylic to ensure long lasting presentations.

If you want to make your piece stand out and give it that “floating” look on your walls, we can apply different hanging techniques and devices. Contact us to find out how PMI can make your image get that modern, stylish visual look with Acrylic.

Crating & Shipping

Pixel

The smallest unit making up a raster file. They will vary in sizes depending upon resolution.

Color Channel

The color channels in a file. CMYK, RGB, Grayscale…etc. We mostly work in RGB.

DPI

Dots Per Inch. This is the term that is for the 4-color industry. It means the number of dots printed per linear inch. We technically do not print with dots so the term is not accurate on most of our printing equipment but is only for reference. Programs such as InDesign, Quark Express and other layout programs will display a DPI window on your print set up. Depending on the printer/imager that you have, your dpi for bitmap printing can range from 150 to 2800 or higher.

PPI

Pixel Per Inch. The number of pixels in a linear inch. 300 ppi would refer to 300 pixels in a single file line, one inch long. This term is more accurate for producers of pixel based images for the print and reproduction equipment we use. For photo images, in general, the higher the pixel a camera captures, the higher the quality of your image, especially if you are going to enlarge an image and quality is very critical.

Raster Image

A continuous tone file such as Photoshop and scans. These files are made up of pixels whereas a vector file (like one from Adobe Illustrator) is not. An example of vector file usage would for generating cuts on a CNC Router or for a logo that needs to be enlarged significantly without losing print quality.

PSD

Photoshop Document. Sometimes called Photoshop Native. This is the only format that “layered” Photoshop files can be saved in. This would be helpful if you need us to work with your image to make color corrections and adjustments.

ICC Compliant

When a company is compliant it means that the color management of all devices have met the standards from the International Color Consortium, (ICC). This usually means that color profiles are created and applied with color management software to achieve the standard.

Resolution

The amount of data in a given file. The higher the resolution the more data and the larger the file size in bytes. (A bit is a single numeric value, either ‘1’ or ‘0’, that encodes a single unit of digital information. A byte is a sequence of bits; usually eight bits equal one byte.)
Normally, if we are printing a file that you want to optimally display as Fine Art, then we would like to get a file that is at the highest resolution and with the greatest pixels allowed.

RES UP

To Res Up a file, that is to change its resolution, does NOT make a bad scan or low res file better, it just makes it bigger and softer. You sometimes can start to see “pixelation”  or “Choppy” edges on you image. You cannot res-up a file and make it look better without doing a lot more work, such as sharpening and sometimes adding noise or grain. Sometimes even that doesn’t work. Photoshop has built in filters that help up-res files incrementally. That will help, but sometimes it’s a hit-and-miss situation that calls for proofing part of the image at the final size.
