This past week was a whirlwind of activity. I had the privilege of spending several exciting days in the entertainment hub of the world, Las Vegas. I was not there to gamble and have fun, (okay, there was a little of that), but to attend the Printing United Expo of 2022, which is billed as “THE MOST DYNAMIC AND COMPREHENSIVE PRINTING EVENT IN THE WORLD”.

Decal Style Printing on Acrylic Glass

One of the neat features with printing on acrylic directly with the technology at FinerWorks is that there is a way to print in “decal mode”. Decal mode allows you to control what parts of the image are fully transparent and what is full color.
