A Modern Upgrade for Your Backlit Displays

Are your backlit displays fading and failing to make an impact? While Duratrans has been a traditional choice for lightboxes, its tendency to fade under prolonged light and its limited durability mean it may not be the best long-term investment. It's time for a superior alternative that offers longevity.

We recommend direct printing on acrylic for a modern, durable, and more vibrant solution. Unlike Duratrans, which can look dated and wear out, acrylic prints are shatter-resistant, waterproof, and provide a sleek, high-gloss finish. Our UV printing process ensures colors are vivid, sharp, and protected from fading, giving your signage, art, and professional displays a stunning depth and clarity that lasts.

Why Choose Acrylic Over Duratrans?

Lasting Vibrancy: Superior color-fastness and UV resistance.

Exceptional Durability: Shatter-resistant and built to last in any environment.

Sleek & Modern: A frameless, high-gloss finish that enhances any image.

Make the switch to a display solution that offers both beauty and strength.

Colombian-Canadian fine art photographer Jorge Posada came to TR Trades with a vision — to preserve and honor one of Toronto’s most iconic buildings, the “Filmores Hotel”, a 4-story rental tower. Previous print materials and processes he used were no longer available – Kodak’s Duratrans. Jorge was looking for a printing solution that could produce the same quality printing for his largescale, light box installations.

TR Trades purchased a SwissQprint Nyala 4, a large-format UV flatbed printer capable of printing extraordinary DPI direct to any substrate up to 2” thick – 126”x 80”. The Nyala 4 allows artists, interior designers, and architects to produce top quality prints on a variety of substrates, from acrylic and metal, to wood and fabric — with phenomenal resolution (1350dpi / 7 picolitre droplet size).

Working closely with President, Carla Duncan and Production Manager, Ryan Young, Posada and TR Trades spent days fine-tuning every element of the file for acrylic printing. With over 20 test prints produced on acrylic, together the team made very fine adjustments to the file and the colour profile until every inch of the art was printing as Jorge intended. Each sample was viewed over a light box to inspect colour, depth, coverage, and tonal transitions.

"Other companies have the same machine, but what TR Trades offers goes beyond that."
