The App Room: How to Create a Stained Glass Look

The App Room, featuring Randy Paar, manager, marketing - Display Graphics for Canon Solutions America, will show a range of high-margin applications that can be produced with Canon Solutions Americas’ flatbed printers, cutters, and software. Paar takes a look at another exciting application, stained glass. This example was produced using two different printing processes — printed second surface on the back of the polycarbonate for the glass colors, and then printing first surface with the raised letters to give a tactile feel of actual leading. Given the wide range of substrates that can be used on the Océ Arizona printer, a finishing device, such as the Océ ProCut, is ideal for cutting all of those substrates.

The App Room: How to Create a Day/Night Backlit Image

The App Room, featuring Randy Paar, manager, marketing - Display Graphics for Canon Solutions America, will show a range of high-margin applications that can be produced with Canon Solutions Americas’ flatbed printers, cutters, and software. In this video, Paar shows us how a day/night backlit image is created. Traditionally, graphics designed for displays have been printed either for daytime or nighttime (backlit) viewing, but not both. Recent advances allow the printing of images that look gorgeous whether the light is coming in from the front or behind. The printer used to create the day/night backlit image was the Océ Arizona 6170 XTS. The white ink allows the capability to print on clear materials and use that as a diffuser.
