DURALECTRA Introduces SanfordPrint
When the graphics on your aluminum components have to last through repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles, or are subject to a high level of abrasion, you need SanfordPrint. SanfordPrint is a novel printing technique and replaces conventional silk screen printing. Unlike conventional printing where the ink resides on the surface of the article, SanfordPrint embeds the print securely within an extremely durable aluminum hardcoat. Conventional printing is prone to contamination, print wear and fading, especially when the part is routinely sterilized, SanfordPrint achieves long lasting print on medical trays, case work, and other medical aluminum equipment.
