DuraJet: Sub-Surface Color Printing in Aluminum

DuraJet Cross Section

DuraJet is a revolutionary imaging system that allows you to digitally create durable, full-color images on anodized aluminum and subsequently seal the image inside the metal, making it virtually impervious to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, humidity and salt spray.

Product Attributes:

  • Full color ink jet printing with the modern, high-quality look of real aluminum
  • Impervious to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, humidity and paint
  • Digital process: short run and variable data friendly
  • Easy to use and reliable: digital process requires no screens
  • Lower acquisiton costs than comparable systems

Product Technology:

DuraJet open-pored aluminum is engineered to absorb certain inkjet inks. After printing, DuraJet is "sealed", protecting the image inside the metal itself. Unlike other open-pored aluminum, DuraJet is extremely stable and will not seal unless plates are put through the sealing process. That means that DuraJet has a long shelf life and will print beautifully the first time, every time.
