ARA Show Report


We're back from the ARA Show in Las Vegas and I think it was a great success. We displayed some of our latest work and new products and generated quite a bit of interest. Many people were interested in our multi-color images that we produced with the CerMark glass and ceramic marking materials. These images were produced by taking a standard JPG image and using Paint Shop Pro to split the image into the C, M, Y, and K color separations. The separations were then used to make the marks. One of the CerMark
colors was applied and then marked using one of
the separations, then the tile was washed off. Then another color was applied, marked with a different separation, and washed off. This produces a multi-color image like the ones you can see on the tiles in the picture at the right. We also met with a company that is making some very nice multi-color images using our marking materials. Atomic Art Images is producing some very good images that you can take a look at in their galleries at: http://www.atomicartimages.com

We have also updated all of our technical literature for 2006. If anyone would like a CD with our updated info, or if you have any questions about making multi-colored marks like those you see here, contact Dave or myself at smithde@ferro.com or weirs@ferro.com.
