Graphics
Etched plaques are ideal for reproducing images with fine detail and small lettering.
ADA compliant graphics can be created through deep-etching metal plaques.
The etching process creates plaques with two levels of graphics — recessed and raised.
Recessed vs. Recessed Graphics
 |
Graphic images and text are generally recessed on an etched plaque and infilled with a painted color.
Brass alloys may be chemically oxidized with the recessed areas appearing as a darker color.
|
|
When raised graphics are specified, the background will be painted or chemically oxidized. Small lettering with fine serifs is not recommended for raised graphics.

Stencil-Cut Graphics
 Letters and artwork may be pierced or stencil-cut by waterjet-cutting through the mtal plate.
This method is ideal for signage that combines dissimilar metals, that requires backlighting or that exposes the installation wall.
Waterjet-cutting is also used for accurate placement of holes and cut out areas for control panels.
