Amcad & Graphics Mimaki Technology Specialists serving the Sign & Graphics, Textile and Industrial Printing markets.

AMCAD and Graphics LLP

Amcad & Graphics was founded in 1997 by owners Chris Edwards and Todd Morris. The company originally began selling CAD equipment and supplies to architects and engineers. Pen plotters used for printing vector graphics were the first computer printers. These plotters were used in applications such as computer aided design, which is where the name Amcad came from. As technolo

gy advanced pen plotters became obsolete and were replaced by wide format conventional printers. In 2013 Mike Osman became a partner of Amcad & Graphics with almost 30 years of experience in the digital market which he used to help develop the companies’ private product line, Star Line. Currently, Amcad & Graphics carries a full line of large format printers and supplies including UV flatbed and roll-to-roll (aqueous, solvent, and latex) from the industries top manufacturers. Amcad & Graphics employs a full team of qualified service techs with many years of experience. Service is offered on most large format printers including solvent, aqueous, UV, latex, and KIP laser printers.

We’ve been experimenting with vibrant cubism flower artwork printed directly onto Palram PALIGHT® 2 mm PVC using layered UV effects, gloss enhancements, and specialty build-up techniques.

The result?
High impact graphics with incredible depth, color intensity, and visual texture that instantly stand out.

Current testing includes:
✔ Cubism inspired floral artwork
✔ Direct print to PALIGHT® 2 mm PVC
✔ Spot gloss enhancement effects
✔ Layered texture and build-up experimentation
✔ Specialty pull-back workflows
✔ Rigid substrate application development

The Mimaki UJ330H-160 continues to prove why this long awaited hybrid platform is getting so much attention by allowing seamless movement between roll media and rigid substrate production on one compact system.

This is where production meets creativity.

More applications and specialty graphics coming soon from our Irving, Texas Technology Center.

Christine Hanson and Carissa Terwey are already pushing the new Mimaki UJ330H-160 Hybrid UV Printer through advanced application testing inside our Irving, Texas Technology Center.

From specialty pull-back techniques to experimenting with the integrated lead edge tracking system, the results coming off this platform are seriously impressive.

Current testing and process development includes:
✔ Single and double pull-back applications
✔ Gloss layering and build-up effects
✔ Flexible media workflow optimization
✔ Lead edge tracking performance evaluation
✔ Documentation of repeatable production results
✔ Specialty graphics application testing

What makes this exciting is not just the visual impact, but the consistency and workflow refinement happening behind the scenes as we dial in real-world production settings.

We are actively testing specialty graphics on flexible media using gloss layering and build-up techniques that create elevated visual and tactile effects impossible to ignore.

From spot gloss accents to dimensional texture effects, this system is opening the door to premium applications.

Current development testing includes:
✔ Single pull-back gloss applications
✔ Double pull-back layered effects
✔ Texture and dimensional build-up testing
✔ Flexible media specialty graphics
✔ High impact visual enhancement techniques

And this is only the beginning.

Next, we’ll replicate these same application methods on rigid substrates to demonstrate the true hybrid workflow advantage of the UJ330H-160 by seamlessly moving from roll media to rigid sheets and right back again on a single platform.

This is where hybrid UV production gets exciting.

Stay tuned as we continue pushing this platform further inside our Irving, Texas Technology Center.
