From ARA in Las Vegas to ISA in Orlando and FESPA Digital in Munich, Direct Color Systems has attended trade shows around the globe in 2014, meeting attendees with a wide variety of job titles and roles. A common theme among many of our booth visitors has been that the DCS patent-pending process of creating ADA/Braille-compliant signage is the easiest and most sophisticated method for producing these highly profitable signs.

From production workers who have been using the photopolymer process for years, to business owners who recently purchased engraving/raster equipment, they have all been impressed with the ease and speed of our UV LED printing process.

Some were amazed that the raised text, pictograms and Braille dots were all ink, produced from a tabletop printer. Others were impressed with just how fast these signs can be output. The advanced design and material capabilities – from second-surface graphics to high-resolution color photos and TEXTUR3D™ elements – were also an eye opener.

Just how easy is the process?

You can produce a 6" x 8" (152mm x 203mm) Men's Room sign in as little as 3 minutes and 50 seconds!

With this powerful, cutting-edge technology, you can maintain compliance and still provide the custom, visually stunning signs your customers demand. The compact, versatile Direct Jet UV inkjet printers give you the ability to create ADA-compliant Braille signage* more efficiently and economically than ever before – while also creating a wide variety of other high-quality, eye-catching interior and exterior signage with the same machine.

See how cost effective it can be to create sophisticated ADA signage
with a UV LED inkjet printer.

* While the components of the ADA signage, produced on Direct Jet 1024UVHS and 1024UVMVP printers, have tested to be in compliance with federal USA ADA signage guidelines outlined in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (Department of Justice - September 15, 2010 - www.ADA.gov), it is the responsibility of the signage manufacturer to ensure compliance with the governing local, state and federal authorities.

As outlined in May's eNewsletter (sent May 15th) and Technical Bulletin #50 (sent May 21st), access to DCS's FTP site now requires an SSL-Certified FTP Client.

Direct Color Systems strives to provide our customers, dealers and distributors with easy-to-access, secure files and information through the use of our FTP site. Due to recent security loopholes with Internet Explorer – as well as increased security standards within our company – users are now required to access our site with an SSL-certified FTP client. There are any number of FTP clients (FileZilla, Cyberduck, WinSCP, etc.) that will work, but you will not be able to use a web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.).

DCS provides support to those who choose to install FileZilla only. This change went into effect on May 23rd, 2014.

Please click here for instructions for using FileZilla to access the DCS FTP site.

Please contact the technical services team with any questions about this new policy.
