Moire effect
Posted by Ian Everett on Friday Nov 24, 2017 Under UncategorizedMoiré effect is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots that is superimposed on another set of lines or dots, where the sets differ in relative size, angle, or spacing.
It is a bit like a shimmering effect.
This is one of those ‘marmite’ moments where the customer might like the effect created by having a double sided cemi see through treatment to a room division or could in fact prefer a crisper single see though option.
The benefit of course in trying this out in advance is that the recordings of images and video can help sign off design aspects of the project without the worry of having to adapt once on site.
During builds on site time is money especially when you are looking at potential runs of 10’s of meters of material, we simply do not have the time on site to ‘play’ with the look and feel.
Putting the effort in now – 4 months in advance of the project build we are gladly planning ahead.
We also found that with our chosen material for the preferred density of see through properties that once lit creases in the printed material were very prominent where the material had been rolled back up for transportation. We tested a steam iron which removed the creases. The scale we will be using the product with in February next year is vast so we will need to ensure we have some industrial sized steamers to deliver the finished surface we want on site.
