In the ten plus years since we started this part of our
business, Enameltec has established its reputation as one of the world's finest producers
of graphic art, expressed through a porcelain enamel medium. Sharing the Georgetown
facility with PG Bell, our craftsmen take a single color porcelain panel, and transform it
to a new level of excellence.
Our customer simply provides us with a photograph, with
finished camera ready artwork, or sometimes only a few words. Through screen printing and
photo process methods, we then interpret this design concept into the lasting impression
that our client seeks. In our graphics department, artwork is first broken down into its
basic components, using sophisticated computer technology. Each of these elements is then
separately fused, layer by layer, to the porcelain panel. This process may require as many
as twelve passes through our firing kilns. The total imaging system adds, to a customer's
image, a beauty and permanence that is unavailable in any other medium.
We create signage that can include wayfinding maps,
directional systems, interpretive graphics, or even reproductions of original works of
art. The graphics themselves can range from straightforward one color text to full color
photographic reproduction.
We offer in-house graphic design, fabrication, mounting
devices and hardware, and recommendations regarding installation methods. Like PG Bell in
their field, there is no such thing as a standard. Each client has a particular need, and
Enameltec takes on the challenge of fulfilling the most demanding of design criteria. |
