Heat resistant, water and snow resistant, rain and other harsh weatherproof, Dibond prints are long lasting and do not lose their shine or color. Thanks to the aluminium composite used in the making of Dibond, the sun, and excessive heat do not affect the print on the surface of the material. Dibond is printed with UV (Ultraviolet) ink that does not become damaged due to the sun or reflective glares from the sun (in desert and snow).

UV ink helps protect the print and colors from the sun and helps them last longer than other materials used in printing that may fade or lighten over time. The print is solvent-free and non-toxic, so will not harm the aluminium composite over time.

Due to the materials used, Dibond is lighter and more durable than other materials used in printing. Dibond prints weigh half as much as straight aluminium does, with thicker depths to make them sturdier and longer lasting.

They can also be bent to form with curved edges or rounded corners.
