We’re all about innovation and pushing display solutions further. Today, we’re excited to introduce Fortex Dye-Sublimated Panels: premium powder-coated aluminum graphics panels built for exceptional durability, vibrancy, and versatility.

what it does

Aluminum is known for its durability, and Fortex takes this even further through powder coating: a dry powder activated by an electrostatic charge, which is then heat-cured to create a tough, wear-resistant surface.

That fortified material is enhanced even further with dye-sublimation technology. Unlike traditional print methods that deposit ink onto the surface, dye sublimation uses heat and pressure to permanently bond ink into the specially formulated powder-coated layer. The result is an ultra-durable graphics panel with vibrant, photographic-quality visuals that won’t peel, chip, or fade.
