Hey - FPD used my Design in an Ad!

A bit of silliness really but FPD just sent me an advert, and at the very bottom lo and behold they had a pic of my Green Pre front panel design!

Kind of cool!

Another pic.

Proud papa.

Front panels are so much better in so many ways now that you can print anything on them instead of being limited to engraving.

Nice. You should get some discount on future panels

Thanks guys 

Ian, I didn’t realize they printed now!

Does that include white text on black panels?

I do think engraved lettering is pretty dope though...

that is cool, congrats.

Thanks Pucho!

They want high res images of the completed project so I’ll send them over and post here too, in the next few days.

This was only possible because of all of you awesome people shepherding green newbies such as myself. You guys get a huge share of the credit for this and all my projects.

So THANK YOU!!!!

Woot Woot!

That's freakin nice!

Great job!

It's that rainbow backfill,  I imagine went the boardroom talk.

Lol thx Scott! Also thx boji 

That's cool 

But did they ask you ? No issue if it's ok for you.
I just wonder if you can have a proto/R&D design used in there Ad without knowing
In case, next time I ask them to sign a NDA  ;D

Thanks Zam!

They did ask me years ago - I said yes and forgot about it.

They just offered me 20% off next order as thank-you. It’s cool with me.

Thx!

Yes it does. They have been doing printing for some time now. You can design your panel in the normal way and then just select the engraving to be printed instead of engraved. You can also import graphics and add them to the panel. If memory serves the last panels I had done were a blanket 10 Euros or so no matter how much text/graphics  was involved. It was all one colour so I don't know if they charge more for different colours. It is a LOT cheaper than engraving.

Hello

It's digital print, everything is possible  8)
I have my fader automation front panel label/scale made with FPD print two years ago, so far there is no issue, which is great for panels that get fingers on them more than anything else in the studio.

I think it is some kind of UV printing. The result seems to be extremely durable. So far it looks at least as good as silk screening.
