ChromaLuxe sublimation

What exactly is ChromaLuxe?

Images with exceptionally intense colours on an aluminium plate

From digital file to finished result on your wall.

Thermal sublimation

Through thermal sublimation, the inks are infused into the specially treated coating of an aluminium panel. This process creates ChromaLuxe's characteristic colour intensity, visual depth and long-lasting durability.

The production process

How is a ChromaLuxe print created?

First, the image is printed on transfer paper using special sublimation inks. The transfer paper and aluminium plate are then placed together in a heated press.

Under high pressure and at a temperature of approximately 200°C, the inks become gaseous and penetrate into the specially treated coating of the plate.

During cooling, the colours are permanently fixed in this coating. The image does not sit on the surface as a fragile ink layer, but is essentially absorbed into the finish of the plate.

Durable and scratch resistant

Because the image is integrated into the coating, it is better protected than a classic print on the surface.

No glass needed

The aluminium plate itself forms the final surface of the image. So there is no need to add a glass plate.
