Hello all. After nearly 15 years of using only laser engravers we are considering going with a color option to offer our customers. The problem is that I don't know much about the color printing industry but am hoping you guys could give some insight.
We are wanting to print color on panels up to 16X20". The material to print on would likely be wood, metal and acrylic panels. If sublimated we would use sublimated wood and metal panels. UV resistant would be a must as well. I see there is a couple of different types of printing types, sublimation and direct to material printing (If that is even the name). If possible I would love to heard any feedback of best solutions, experiences, equipment, and pluses/minuses of the different types of printing.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
