Signdealz Channel Letters and Signs for Jack & Jill

Channel Letter Color Considerations

Getting your front lit channel letter sign to look great during the day and the night is no easy feat. Jack and Jill's sign required the uses of a few different sign making techniques and considerations. Jack and Jill's logo has a gradient color where the color is a nice deep blue and green at the top, but slowly fades as it goes down. This requires us to use a digital print with significant color saturation so the color doesn't fade at night. Signdealz uses vendors with the ability to print with deep color saturation on digital prints so you dont get that washed out look you often see with inferior products.

There are three primary ways letters get their color on Channel Letter Signs. The first is Digital Printing and the most common way is High Performance (HP) Vinyl, and the third is acrylic.

Digitally Printed Faces on Channel Letters

Digital printing is a process that is identical in many ways to your home printer. The ink is sprayed on the surface of the media and thus allows light to penetrate through it. Unfortunately, because many digital printers do not deliver enough ink to maintain a solid color profile, digital printing for lighted signs often can look washed out when lit and fade quickly over time. Printers capable of printing with enough saturation or the ability to print white are very expensive and is often cost prohibitive for small and medium sized manufacturers. You should expect digital printed surfaces to last 3 to 5 years.

Channel Letters with HP Vinly Faces

HP Vinly is an engineered product that delivers brilliant colors, the only drawback with HP vinyl is it's somewhat limmited color selection. However, because the pigment is part of the vinyl and not applied to the surface. You get brillant colors that last significantly longer than Digital Printing. You should expect HP vinyl to last 7 to 10 years.

Channel Letters with Acrylic Faces

Finally there is colored acrylic. This is the longest lasting face material for front lit channel letters, but is significantly limmited in color selection. You should expect colored acrylic to last from 10 to 20 years depending on where the sign faces the sun.
