The process of dye sublimation on aluminum produces a HD quality image transfer onto aluminum that makes a durable and long lasting photo.



Dye sublimation printing is a method of printing that uses heat to transfer dye onto various materials, including paper, plastic, fabric, and metal. The process involves using a special printer with sublimation ink, a transfer paper, and a heat press.

There are several benefits to dye sublimation printing, including:

  1. Vibrant colors: Dye sublimation printing produces rich, vivid colors that are long-lasting and resistant to fading. The dye is absorbed into the material, rather than sitting on top, which creates a more vibrant and durable image.

  2. Versatility: Dye sublimation printing can be used on a wide range of materials, including fabric, metal, ceramic, and plastic. This makes it an ideal printing method for creating custom apparel, promotional items, signage, and more.

  3. Durability: Dye sublimation printing creates a permanent bond between the ink and the material, which makes it resistant to peeling, cracking, and fading. The images are also able to withstand washing and drying without losing their quality.

  4. Customization: Dye sublimation printing allows for full-color printing and the ability to print on both sides of the material. This makes it ideal for creating custom designs, logos, and patterns.

  5. Eco-friendly: Dye sublimation printing is an eco-friendly printing method that produces minimal waste. The process involves using water-based inks, which are environmentally friendly and safe for use in the home or office.

Overall, dye sublimation printing is a versatile, durable, and high-quality printing method that produces vibrant and long-lasting images on a wide range of materials.

Oblivion Sky Tower

A Futuristic Modern Architecture Box (dubbed the Sky Tower) nestled in the surreal setting above the clouds in the (futurist post apocalyptic) movie Oblivion  (2013) written and directed by Joseph Kosinski . The home takes some obvious inspiration from the Stahl House aka Case Study # 22 by Architect Pierre Koenig . The home has some obvious improvements with the the extended helipad over the see through acrylic infinity pool. The foundation of the home is on a unbelievably thin single (steel?) column that seems to be unaffected by the wind throughout the movie. The Director Joseph Kosinski conceived of the sky tower design with early 3D modeling renderings that he made. Joseph Kosinski graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Architecture that explains the strong modern design elements in his work. Kosinski admits that his production design team refined his early ideas into finished reality . The set is a crisp clean design and the frameless glass wall

32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright

I was recently reading an article from the September issue of 1956 House and Home and was astounded to see an interesting FLLW article with tips for the average home builder. As I was reading through the article I was realizing that those tips and advise were still just as pertinent today as it was in 1956. The particular house the article refers to is the Zimmerman house built in Manchester, New Hampshire. The home is part of a series of homes that Wright built known as the Unisonian Homes that were low cost homes for moderate income families. 32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright 1.

Bruce Goff's Ledbetter House

In 1948, Bruce Goff, a renowned Organic Architect, designed and constructed the Ledbetter House in Norman, Oklahoma. One of the most distinctive features of this unique home is its striking carport floating entry, which is supported by steel cables and provides both shelter and aesthetic interest. The Ledbetter House is a stunning example of Goff's Organic Architecture style, which emphasizes the harmonious integration of buildings with their natural surroundings. The house is situated on a wooded site, and Goff incorporated the landscape into the design of the home. The interior of the house features an open floor plan, ample natural light, and stunning views of the surrounding trees. Goff's use of unconventional materials and construction techniques is one of the most notable aspects of the Ledbetter House. He used materials such as steel prefabricated trusses and stones, which were incorporated into the design in creative ways. The ceiling of the home is made of corr
