Coloredge Produces Graphics for Dinosaur Hall at the LA Natural History Museum

Coloredge New York * Los Angeles recently completed the graphics for Dinosaur Hall at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.


For the artifacts encased in glass, Coloredge looked to their prototyping division, Comp24. The Comp24 team utilized a special transfer process to apply 5-color transfers to glass as large as 5 feet by 11 feet and up to ½-inch thick. An opacity layer was printed using Coloredge's GS3200 onto Avery Ultra Clear 103 material. Using a tricky wet mount process, this opacity layer was then applied to the Comp24 transfers for added definition.

An additional element of the project utilized 3M 8660 material with 3645 interior Floor minder for a graphic 12 feet by 12 feet onto which visitors are able to walk. After installing the floor graphic, the print was treated with a clear wax allowing maintenance crews to remove scuff marks, a process recommended by 3M.
