Which printing method is right for you: surface or subsurface?

Every environment is different. From industrial equipment and medical devices to consumer products and outdoor power equipment, the right decal construction can make all the difference in long-term performance.

At Romo, we help customers select the best printing method based on durability requirements, environmental conditions, regulatory needs, and budget—so you get a solution that performs exactly as intended. 🙌🏼

Surface or subsurface printing? Start with what your decal needs to handle.

Surface printing offers vibrant color, versatility, and a more cost-effective construction. Subsurface printing is built for demanding environments where durability is the priority.

When it comes to durable decals and labels, the printing method matters just as much as the material itself. One of the first questions our team asks is: Will this graphic be surface printed or subsurface printed?

The answer depends on where the decal will live, how it will be used, and what it needs to withstand over time.

At Romo, we find that 'right-sizing' materials to end performance can lower material waste, maintain compliance, and lower costs without sacrificing field performance.

Beyond printing, our in-house R&D team works with you on:
🔬 Custom material science
📈 High-performance surface protection
⚠️ Compliant warning and caution labels
⚙️ OEM branding

Conversations > Catalogs

Here at Romo, we find that the most effective graphics aren't pulled from a shelf or found in a catalog. They're built around a need and a conversation. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

Let's talk about dyes. 🌈

Dyes bind directly to the material (like paper, plastic, and metal), delivering vibrant color across a range of applications like beverage cans and posters. But there’s a trade-off. Dye-based color simply doesn’t stand up to time or sunlight. UV exposure breaks it down quickly, causing fading—even when protective measures are in place.

When it comes to holding color, pigments lead the way. However, there is a time and place for dyes. It all depends on your specific application.

Why do some graphics fail outdoors while others hold up for years? It all comes down to material choices—especially the comparison between dyes and pigments, and how each responds to sunlight differently over time. ☀️
