Do You Know How Important Graphic Overlay Is in a Membrane Switch?

 A membrane switch is the interface that connects the user to a machine, device, or other types of equipment. It is the control panel, facilitating functionality and enabling the user to control the product.

 

The graphic overlay is one of the most important aspects of the membrane switch. The graphic overlay is the faceplate to the membrane switch and often the product itself. The graphic overlay defines a product’s identity and is the visual layout and design of the interface that determines how easy or difficult a device is for the average user to operate.

 

JRPanel is in a class of its own when it comes to the design and production of high quality Graphic Overlays, Labels, and Nameplates. We have been manufacturing overlay products for a wide array of customers and industries for over 35 years. A graphic overlay not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of a product or device, but it can also provide environmental protection. A graphic overlay can also be applied to an assembly using discrete switches or laminated to a membrane or rubber switch depending on the design. JRPanel offers both silk screened and digitally printed overlays and labels in wide range of shapes, sizes, colors and finishes.  

 

Critical Features of the Graphic Overlay:

 

Environmental Conditions

 

You likely know what type of environment your product is going to end up in. Are there going to be some obvious environmental concerns? If so, it is critical that the right graphic overlay material is designed into your product, since different materials offer different environmental advantages.

 

Enhancing Usability

 

Usability is the ultimate goal of a user interface. The features of the graphic overlay can be used to enhance the overall usability of your product. By making the graphic overlay easier to feel, operate, and understand, raised buttons and embossed features can dramatically enhance its functionality.

 

Building Your Brand

 

The visual impact of the graphic overlay cannot be underestimated. The graphic overlay is the faceplate to the membrane switch and often the product itself. The graphic overlay defines a product’s identity and is the visual layout and design of the interface that determines how easy or difficult a device is for the average user to operate. Based on our 20 plus years of experience, we can choose the ideal ink technologies and materials to deliver specialized textures, finishes, and colors. This allows you to create on-brand graphic treatments, powerful visual differentiation, and market-appropriate design cues. With specialized inks, we can match proprietary brand colors. With the right material, we can deliver the right texture and finish, from matte to high gloss. Add in transparent qualities and vibrant base colors, and you can start to see how may options you really have.

 

Digital printing gives us even more design freedom, in a very cost-effective way. With these technologies, we can reproduce photographs onto the graphic overlay, allowing you to specify any type of background pattern. Brushed aluminum or carbon fiber patterns for more sophisticated applications

How to Read Circuit Diagrams for Beginners

图片
     👉 https://www.jrpanel.com/R This articles shows how to read circuit diagrams for beginners in electronics. Learn to read electrical and electronic circuit diagrams or schematics. A drawing of an electrical or electronic circuit is known as a circuit diagram, but can also be called a schematic diagram, or just schematic. Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing physical components and lines representing wires or electrical conductors. In order to learn how to read a circuit diagram, it is necessary to learn what the schematic symbol of a component looks like. It is also necessary to understand how the components are connected together in the circuit. Battery and Light Bulb Circuit Probably the simplest circuit that can be drawn is one that you may have seen in a school science class: a battery connected to a light bulb as shown below.

In JRPanel, Manual Color Toning Is High-precision Craftsmanship

图片
  The production of membrane switches requires the participation of the printing process. A screen printing machine is required for printing. The quality of the product printing depends on the printing operation process and the details of the printing. Among them, manual toning is the most important step .  Only the precise control of the proportion of each color can produce the color that the customer needs.   Toning is a very knowledgeable craft. There are three main colors. These three colors can decorate the membrane switch perfectly. The three colors are red, yellow, and blue. Other colors can be obtained by mixing any two of these three colors. For example, yellow plus blue to green. When mixing colors with colors, pay attention to thoroughly mixing the inks, so that the inks are thoroughly mixed together to avoid color inconsistency, resulting in incoordination of the membrane switch panel. After the color is adjusted, it needs to be compared. The color and gl...
