Full-color UV printing with raised, tactile text, graphics, and Braille — on metal or plastic, indoors or out.
Raised Print is created by printing UV-cured inks directly onto metal or plastic. The ink is built up in layers to create a raised, tactile surface you can see and feel, in full color.
Because the ink is cured instantly by UV light, it bonds securely to the surface for bright, fade-resistant graphics that hold up indoors and outdoors. It suits schools, offices, medical facilities, and public buildings where signs need to look good and be easy to read and touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Raised Print?
Raised Print uses UV-cured inks printed in layers onto metal or durable plastic to create tactile, raised text, graphics, and Braille. The result is dimensional, full-color signage that’s easy to see and feel.
Is Raised Print ADA-compliant?
Yes. We can produce ADA-compliant tactile lettering and Braille when specified. Provide your project requirements and we’ll follow applicable ADA/tactile standards for character height, contrast, spacing, and Braille placement.
Which materials can be used?
Raised Print can be applied to metal (e.g., aluminum) and durable plastic substrates. We’ll recommend the best option based on size, location, and mounting method.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. UV-stable inks and protective clear coats make Raised Print appropriate for both interior and exterior applications. For harsh environments, we’ll specify enhanced coatings and substrates.
What sizes are available?
We produce Raised Print signs from approximately 2 inches up to 95 inches, depending on material and layout. Larger systems can be tiled or panelized.
Can you add Braille and raised room numbers?
Absolutely. Raised text, tactile symbols, and Grade 2 Braille can be incorporated for room IDs, wayfinding, restrooms, and life-safety signage.
What mounting options do you offer?
Wall mounts (blind, solid wall, hollow wall, wood) and freestanding options (stake/post systems) are available. We’ll match hardware to your substrate and code needs.
Can you match brand colors?
Yes. Provide Pantone, CMYK, or RGB values and we’ll match as closely as the process allows. A color proof is available during approval.
What is the warranty?
UV-printed graphics, including Raised Print, carry a 7-year warranty.
How do I clean and maintain Raised Print signs?
Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasives, bleach, ammonia, and pressure washing.
What files should I send?
Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) for logos and type; 300 dpi images (TIFF/PNG/JPG) for photos or textures. Include final size, location (indoor/outdoor), mounting preference, and any ADA requirements.
