Gedacolour Instructions

Gedacolor is a unique method of printing below the surface of anodised aluminium.

Gedacolor can be printed in full colour photographically and when sealed correctly can be used in an external environment for up to 10 years without fading or loss of performance.

Gedacolor plates are possibly the most vandal resistant materials available. The graphic elements are virtually indestructible by way of scratching. The surface can be spray painted or fouled and simply cleaned off using a recognised solvent cleaner.

All in all, Gedacolor is an extremely effective way of making enduring, quality graphics for an internal or external environment.

EXPOSING Gedacolor aluminium panels are easily processed by way of water etching. The panels can be processed in the NovaPress 70 photopolymer processing machine ensuring a low capital expenditure in order to create top quality panels.
