ADA Signs consist of braille, raised letters and sometimes icons. Our technology allows to produce these signs in the three most popular ways. It is important to compare all three methods with your requirement to make sure that the best solution is used. Your signs do not have to be dull, but can enhance the interior look of your facility. Graphic Impact has become a leader in this field because of our twenty years of experience and 
working with leading architects and interior decorators throughout the country. Use this page as an introduction to all three technonology areas.
Raster Bead Technology
A proprietary method whereby acrylic or metal beads are actually “shot” into the substrate. The result is a rounded bead with a contemporary look which requires no adhesive of any kind. The letters and icon are then lasered from an “ADA Substrate” and applied to the sign. A wide variety of color are available and the sign can be adapted for outdoor use. There is no minimum volume requirement and your sign can be completed by the next business dayogy
Photopolymer Technology
Instead of the tedious routing and engraving methods, photopolymer signs are easily produced and cost-efficient. Computer generated artwork is output to a film negative which is placed on the surface of the photopolymer sheet in the processing unit then exposed to ultraviolet light, hardening the raised area. After exposure, the material is placed in the washout tank where the unexposed photopolymer is washed away, leaving the raised area.
With the unique photopolymer process, washout takes place in plain tap water and its effluent is 100% biodegradable which can be disposed of in any public waste disposal system. Once the photopolymer is processed, many finishing options are available.
Routed (Engraved) Braille
For economical, yet quality braille we recommend routed out braille. This is a great choice when things are tight or a temporary ADA sign is required. Here again we laser cut the raised letters and icons and apply them to the sign.
You’ve probably noticed how great and unique the sample signs look. Its because the have the ability to print full color photo realistic images on almost any materials. Our printer (which also prints white ink produces the signs in outstanding, award winning designs.
