Title: Wilsonart custom laminate?
Post by: crashwg on February 16, 2004, 02:08:07 am

Does anyone here know anything about Wilsonart's custom printed laminate?  Like, how do they print it?  How good the results are?  Priceing?  Anything?

There's a really old thread about this here somewhere...... I'll see if I can find it. Their website has pretty good documentation about it. They use the same technique to print the custom artwork as they do their standard textures. It's just as durable. I remember the prices to be "premium" but reasonable for what you get.

*looking for thread*

Thanx brax, although I'm quite dissapointed in what I've read on that post.  If the $10/ft² is the actual price I would end up spending over $600 on the sides alone, which is a heck of alot more than I'm planing on spending on the sideart.  Maybe I'll just paint the artwork on...

I thought I remembered reading that it was around $200 a side? Haven't some people paid that for a full side paper printout? I'm honestly not sure about the prices but I do know that if you want an entire side of your cabinet as artwork it won't be cheap using either method.
