Hydrographic Printing
We are extremely excited to announce this brand new service to our business – we have purchased a large commercial Hydro-graphic tank which is due for installation early November.
Our tank size is length 1200mm, width 900mm, depth 700mm.
This allows us to custom dip extremely large objects.
So…….scooterists, finally in NZ you can have your scooter painted however you choose by a company that loves your scoots as much as you do!
What Is Hydrograhic Printing?
Hydro dipping (also known as immersion printing, water transfer printing and hydro imaging ) is a unique process that allows you to apply graphics to almost any three-dimensional object.
This process has been used for years in the auto industry along with many other fields. Other items like helmets, gaming controllers & ATV's are widely decorated with hydro films these days.
There are many different materials (substrates) the film can be applied on such as plastic, metal, wood, and more.
The prep process we follow is no different than if we were just going to be painting the item. We need to sand/scuff up (if needed or required) the item, then prime it and apply a base coat. Once your item is dipped and dried we apply a clear coat to protect it.
The end result is as durable as any professional car paint.
Below in the gallery is a sample of the films available and well as a few printed scooter items.
Our service will be available for any item you would like printed. We have access to thousands of film designs so let us know what you require.
