Wide-Format Printer 2015: Liberty Graphics

Last year’s winner, Liberty Graphics, comes up trumps this year as well with its versatile samples, merging art with technology. The company submitted four samples, Abstract Buddha with 3D effect, Mumbai through an artist’s eyes, Translite and the painting St Mark’s Basilica.

 

The Abstract Buddha, created for a private display on aluminum composite panel, gives it a 3D-like effect while retaining the feel of brushed aluminum through the print. The sample is printed on an Agfa 1224 HDC UV printer. Aluminum composite panel with brushed effect was also used in the custom display for an artist, titled, Mumbai through an artist’s eyes.

 

Translite was a campaign for a large perfume house, used in its exclusive stores. The sample was printed on HP translite media with exquisite details using OEM inks on a HP Designjet Latex 210. The painting, St Mark’s Basilica, for a private display, was printed on veneer, giving it the old world feel with wood texture showing through, which is later mounted on a wooden drawer in a home.
