They do not get better than Bob Laird and Roy Brewer, except Roy's daughters.

It is impossible to say how much I respect Bob. He is just a gem.

Wow!! I spent all of today getting my first lessons on the 3D Pictaflex machine. It is awesome, and opens the possibilities of decoration much more than I ever thought possible.

For all of those people who can make it to our "OPEN HOUSE" to introduce the technology the address of our offices in Santa Monica, CA are:
Lip Chip Solutions, Inc.
1662 12th St.
Santa Monica, CA 90404

Hope to see some of you tomorrow. 1p.m-4p.m. Oct. 24th

Here's what David Vernon said, in a previous post: quote: Wow!! I spent all of today getting my first lessons on the 3D Pictaflex machine. It is awesome, and opens the possibilities of decoration much more than I ever thought possible. Coming from someone involved with the promotion of the technology, what would you expect? :-) But here's the deal; I have absolutely no axe to grind, either for or against this technology and I agree with David's statement. I've invited the company representatives, who I met this afternoon, to come to the forum, to answer any questions you may have about Pictaflex. I've forewarned them that this is a knowledge-hungry crowd and we can detect spam from miles away. :-) Actually, they're very nice people and they look forward to talking about this exciting technology with us. Stay tuned. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David,

thank you very much for coming to the first demo of the Pictaflex Technology yesterday at Lipchip Solutions. I appreciate your interest and the community interest in our new 3D decorative technology. I am happy to answer questions posed directly on this forum regarding the technology. Members can also contact us directly regarding commercial questions. ICI-Imagedata greatly appreciate the opportunity to share knowledge of the Pictaflex Process via this forum. I promise to keep the commericals out of the discussion.

Thank you Kevin.

We appreciate your participation.

One question that came to mind, is the UV resistance of the images.

From the sample products I saw at the demo, some, i.e. automobile door handle inserts (if that's what you call them) and the motorcyle dash board surround, while showing great potential for higher-end applications, will most likely see steady exposure to UV light, which would bring the longevity of the image into question.

I'm pretty sure, most people buying those custom components, will do so, with an assumption of permanence.
