Acrovyn by Design panels are produced using tough, impact resistant Acrovyn 4000 sheets, a product that’s been used to protect walls in commercial environments for decades. Acrovyn 4000 is highly regarded by architects and designers for its durability and environmental credentials. The main features of Acrovyn 4000 include:

• Impact, scratch and chip resistant surface.
• Light-fast
• Easy to clean and maintain
• No PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• No PBT (Persistent Bio-accumulative Toxins)
• No BPA (Bisphenol A)
• No halogenated fire retardants
• No chemicals of concern
• 100% recyclable

As with Acrovyn 4000, Acrovyn by Design is offered in a thickness of 1.6mm. The sheet size is 3050mm x 1220mm and can be cut to any shape or size.

High resolution images are embedded behind Acrovyn 4000, a durable rigid sheet that will provide complete protection to the image.

Selecting the best, high resolution image is essential to ensure the best result. Subject matter and colours are important, but equally important is image quality.  Your selected image needs to meet resolution requirements so it can be scaled to size without a drop in picture quality.

AT ORDER STAGE WE REQUIRE:

• An accurate wall elevation drawing, indicating image crop areas.
• A high resolution image/artwork supplied in the proper file format & resolution. The bleed area for Acrovyn by Design is 3mm on all sides, which should be taken into account when sizing the artwork, as cropping will occur.

Once we have received all the necessary drawings and images / artwork, we will supply a PDF layout drawing for final approval.

SUITABLE FILE FORMATS:

A range of file formats are suitable including: .AI, .EPS, .WFM, .TIF, .JPG, .PSD, RAW and press quality .PDF. If bitmap images contain layers, please flatten them before sending.

Vector formats are infinitely scalable and will produce high quality results, regardless of the final output size. Where both vector or bitmap formats are available for your selected image, vector should always be used.

CUSTOM COLOURS:

If required, Acrovyn by Design can be printed with a solid colour.  However, due to the print process limitations, it is not always possible to exactly match Pantone colours.  If colour matching is critical, samples will be provided for proofing before we proceed with printing.

RESOLUTION:

When supplying bitmap images, you need to consider how the viewer will be interacting with the artwork. Images seen from a longer distance can be output to a lower resolution, measured in ppi (pixels per inch).

The minimum recommended image resolutions are as follows:

• With a viewing distance of 1.5m or less, the minimum resolution should be 150ppi at actual output size.
• With a viewing distance of 1.5m-3m, the minimum resolution should be 100ppi at actual output size.
• With a viewing distance greater than 3m, the minimum resolution should be 72ppi at output size.

COPYRIGHT:

Out of respect for the intellectual copyright of others, we will only print images that comply with copyright requirements. We therefore suggest thoroughly researching the origin and copyright status of any image that you intend to use for your Acrovyn by Design project.
