What are the types of fonts on the sign?

There are a lot of signs that people can see every day, and the fonts on different signs are also different. This article of China Security Network Xiaobian introduces the types of fonts on the signs. The font technology of the signing machine is the key content introduced by the editor of this article. As a first-level component, the role of the logo is very important. According to the principle of grading, it is the starting point of the sign guiding system. The selection of appropriate materials, processes and colours plays a decisive role in the overall image.

Traditional outdoor writing has long been around several traditional processes.

What are the font crafts of the signing workers?

Galvanized iron

The galvanized iron three-dimensional craft word is made of 0.8-2.0mm thick galvanized iron plate, cut according to the shape of the letter, and the skirt is made with appropriate depth. The interface is soldered with tin. The finished product is painted on the surface after corner grinding, and fixed to the wall by clear or hidden code. on. The advantage of this process is low cost, but because the galvanized iron plate is heavier (about 7.85kg/mm ​​per square meter), it is difficult to use thicker panels for words with more than 3m in the roof, resulting in a large glyph surface. It will appear uneven, with slight depression, and due to the cut edge, the rust-proof performance of galvanized iron is reduced, so that the product will leave unsightly rust on the wall surface due to rust for a year or so, and then galvanized sheet Due to the electric charge, the surface paint film is difficult to adhere firmly, and the paint film may be off for a long time.

Stainless steel word

Copper and stainless steel are precious metals compared with galvanized sheets, and their metal texture is unique. Therefore, more people are willing to let it appear in their original form. Copper is also a metal that is more oxidizable, so people often use it. After plating or finishing the glyph processing, the surface is polished, and then the sealing paint (rustproof) is made to make it golden, stainless steel, and people use the characteristics of "stainless", using a polished (hairline) surface to be matte. Or directly use 8K (mirror) processing to make it dazzling and colorful, this type is a kind of bright party in the architectural genre, but the two treatments have a common shortcoming, lack of personality, because people have chosen this process for many years, The personality is not obvious; in the bright sunshine outdoors, the strokes of the metal may be unclear due to the refraction of the metal, and in the rainy days, the metal is also blurred due to the loss of luster or ash.

Neon light: neon light is generally based on the galvanized iron craft word plus the surrounding shape or plane laying neon tube, through the single-chip control stroboscopic or scanning effects, the advantage is that the night is very eye-catching, very easy to recognize, The disadvantage is that the daytime effect is poor, and it can only be displayed by text, but the cover of the pipe makes the text appear fuzzy, and the maintenance is more complicated and the power consumption is larger.

Gold word

Fewer hospitals use this process, on the one hand, they are of great value (in terms of real materials), and on the other hand, commercial establishments may be a better destination.

Lightbox word: The technology of combining stainless steel and aluminum characters, the biggest breakthrough is the text itself, the night lighting does not need to use external lighting, the specific method is to hollow out the text, replaced by transparent acrylic sheet, installed in the text cavity Cold light source (light tube) or neon light, so that it can use the natural contrast effect of color in the daytime, while the night is like its own light, the surrounding wall has no light spots caused by external lighting, the text effect is quite obvious, but the shortcoming The cost is high, and the maintenance is also slightly complicated. It is necessary to remove the light source by removing the outer panel by means of tools such as rib cranes.

Aluminum plate

The biggest features of aluminum plate: 1, lightweight - because the weight of aluminum plate per square meter is 2.71kg / mm, so the panel can be as thick as 3mm or more, greatly increasing the flatness of the font surface; 2, not easy to rust - aluminum plate Slow oxidation, and there will be no rust stains polluting the wall; 3, easy to color - easy to make the film adhere, if processed properly, the surface durability can be comparable to the car finish; 4, easy to install - due to low weight, installation It's much lighter. The disadvantage is that the cost is slightly higher and requires professional factory production. The welding process is similar to that of stainless steel, but the aluminum plate is soft. The level of the processor in the welding process will directly affect the flatness and reliability of the finished word surface. However, more hospitals have recently adopted this process because the maintenance cost is extremely low. They are a measure of "performance price ratio".

Luminous words

LED is a fast-developing category of sign materials that can replace neon lights and can be used in light boxes and letters in restaurants, shopping malls, convenience stores, open plazas and buildings. It has high brightness, long life (up to 150,000 hours of maintenance-free), high efficiency, easy installation, reliable performance, and high cost performance, making it widely used. In addition, as a general outdoor low-level instruction, the description text can also be made by ACRYLIC (modified plexiglass). The production method is mainly computer engraving, and the surface treatment is usually baking lacquer. The advantage of this process is that the processing and molding consistency is good, the installation is simple, and the weather resistance performance is also quite good. The production of outdoor signs is still made of glass fiber, plexiglass, computer inkjet and other materials or expressions. Because the effect is more traditional, it will not be described in detail here. For detailed results, please refer to relevant information.
