The UV Vutek printer was used to produce the opaque areas including the coral, whale, and jellyfish. The process involved a white layer of ink as a background for the characters, overlaid with a full colour CMYK layer. The transparent areas, the sky, and sea were produced using the latex process.
The sections were comped together expertly on site during the installation by our fitters. A professional installation is just as important as high-quality print production. There’s no point having the graphics applied sub-standard, where bubbles or seams between the graphic panels could be visible, this would ultimately impact on the piece the public sees. Fitting professionally is always our recommendation and policy. Not that this was a consideration here, but it’s worth hiring us to install the graphics for you unless you’re skilled and experienced in the application process.
