Thermoforming

One of lifes injustices is that you get a great idea and somebody else beats you to market.

I know that this is being launched here in OZ and the US and the rest of the world is not far behind. If you know of someone with one of these printers you may be able to offer your services.

Geez those South Africaans are clever....

Here (http://www.prosign-messe.com/images/100342/PressImages/Dsc_Foto4.jpg) is a huge photo (1.2MB) of them at a Frankfurt fair last year. The "Friendly" sign (top left) is common around here on a chain of greengrocers. Bottom right is a cellphone printed on a sign.

Nice examples!

The idea hit me a year and a half ago when I was at a customers, they have a Multicam and had done some vacuum form tests for a product, they had used some scraps from around the place that had removable vinyl laminated to one side with some printing.(they weren't interested in what happened to the vinyl) I was amazed at how much the vinyl had stretched and still retained its colour. That got me thinking , then the Vutek flatbed and Durst flatbed were introduced and the light went one....(but not fast enough)

What I need to do now is convince my current customers to buy Flatbed printers from OCE
