WHY UV COLORLAST
Rosettes are decorative covers for the screw heads in each corner of bronze and aluminum plaques (included in the price). Rosettes are available in 1/2”, 3/4”, 1” and 1-1/2” diameters. Rosettes with highlights are oxidized, aluminum rosettes are bead blasted. Screw heads are painted to match plaque background. Additional and replacement rosettes are $23.50 each.
The finished image will be an artist’s 3D interpretation of your photograph in cast bronze or aluminum and mechanically attached to the plaque background. The standard overall height is 6” to 12” with a finished depth of 3/4” to 1”. (Requires a six-week lead time.)
A two-dimensional precision tooled plaque that is an alternative to the expense and time-consuming process of a bas relief plaque.
Etching offers the precision required to replicate your high-definition photograph, line drawing or complex artwork. Etchings are available in stainless steel, bronze and brass.
Gemini can apply your images onto your architectural plaques. Our hi-resolution printers render UV-cured, non-elastic inks at up to 1200 dpi. The result is a picture perfect product that is covered under warranty for interior and exterior applications.
Add an image to your plaque by choosing a ceramic insert. Gemini can apply a full-color digital transfer to a standard-sized ceramic coated base, available in oval, round and rectangular shapes. Ceramic inserts can also be printed for medallion plaques.
