  • 1.  MFT service provider?

    Posted 06-04-2026 20:33

    Hello all, 

    I am working with an artist who is interested in creating a public artwork with a printing process that can withstand the rigors of a hospital environment. He is interested in dye sublimation and direct printing onto Corian or other durable substrate. I am also concerned about the light stability of the printing processes, which can be variable depending on many factors including the "inks" used, the colors selected, the equipment used, and the company carrying out the printing.

    If the artist is able to supply a sample, does anyone offer MFT as a service? If you know of anyone who does this, please get in touch! 

    Thanks!

    Hi Samatha,

    I offer MFT services and operate a Whitmore type MFT using both Xenon and LED. I have tested samples via mail and would be happy to assist if you cannot find anyone locally. I have emailed you separately.

    Kind Regards,

    Kristie
