Gopher Sign Co. (St. Paul, MN) is presenting Duralite™ photographic-quality, outdoor signage. Its production process integrates its proprietary Image-Loc™ printing technique, composite materials and organic coatings that produce weather-resistant, scratch-resistant and graffiti-proof signage for exterior wayfinding and exhibit graphics. According to the company, the process is more environmentally friendly than comparable outdoor-sign decoration methods. Also, it’s reportedly 30% lighter than MDO and 70% lighter than digital, high-pressure-laminate productions. The company offers a 10-year warranty on structural integrity and color retention.

The company also offers X-Lite™ sign blanks for flatbed-printer decoration. Standard sizes include 12 x 18 in., 18 x 24 in., 24 x 36 in. and 24 x 42 in. According to the company, the panels are more resistant to UV fading than paper or film prints.
