PRINTING TECHNIQUES FOR ALL WEATHER REQUIREMENTS

IPPL is in the forefront of laser engraving techniques using engraving methods, glass etching and sublimated printing for all weather print technology.

Laser engraving onto the metal : - This technique involves the burning of  letters onto a hard plastic or
 metallic surface by a high density laser light. The heat generated by this requires
the skill of a laser engraver who is trained and qualified to operate the laser engraving machines.

Sublimated printing:- Dye-sublimation printers allow you to print colors  not laid down as individual dots, as is done in inkjet printers. Heat is used to vaporize the colors and adhere it to the surface of the hard surface,
creating a gentle gradation at the edges of each pixel. The advantage of this type of printing as compared to the normal inkjet printing is that the colour is infused into the surface,  so  it makes it less vulnerable to fading
and distortion over time, making it ideal to be used to print signage in buildings and Fire equipment.

FIRE ENGINEER DESCRIPTION

Fire engineers have various roles within a fire department, they will need to show aptitude in  science,
technology, psychology, physiology, management and even law.  Their responsibility will vary. It may include designing fire detection in fire protection environment and alarm systems, designing escape routes, firefighting, and maintenance of fire protection equipment.  A fire engineer may also handle the finances of the department,  act as a expert witness in court cases, and lead or teach courses to both civilian and other emergency personnel. They are normally members of the Fire protection services and Fire engineer Professionals organization.

REQUIREMENTS
The position of fire engineer is open to both men and women. Not every fire department or Fire protection services recruits will require a college degree, especially volunteer departments. However, many fire engineers have a degree in science, technology, business or one of the social sciences. If a degree is required to work in a specific fire department, then this will be specified in the requirements. Fire engineers will be trained on the job on competency in Fire protection services, how to use fire protection equipment and the general protocols for fire protection intheir individual fire department..

USEFUL SKILLS
A fire engineer should have the ability to think and stay calm in stressful situations. He should be able to work as  a member of a team and be ready to do a variety of tasks within the Fire protection services. They understand  the useof fire protection equipment and the general fire protection protocols. They will also understand the  nature and characteristics of fires and how they originate. Fire engineers should be able to anticipate behaviors of materials, machines, apparatus, and structures.

THE BUILDERS ROLE

 Building Fire codes have to be approved before it can be open to the public, if the building firecodes are not adhered to, the onus falls on the builder to rectify the problems and implement the Fire Engineer’s recommendations. This can take a bit of time so it is important for the builder to include the architects and draftsman who designed the building to oversee the whole project  from the beginning.

The Architect and Draftsman’s have their own design criteria in all areas including building signage. All signs put up by the Builder have to follow some guidelines. The signs are normally printed or engraved on hard plastic or metal. Using either sublimated printing or laser engraving techniques.
