Custom project for museum display

Oversize screen used to print on large plexiglass panel.
Oversize screen used to print on large plexiglass panel.

Working with Tucson-based Creative Machines, the Gloo Factory screen printed a large plexiglass panel that was to be used for an interactive display in a children’s museum.

The project required us to build an oversized light table to expose a large screen that would fit over the panel.

After exposing and washing the screen, it was mounted onto a large work table for the printing. Each color was printed separately, by blocking off other parts of the screen and only applying ink to the need area.

The final product looks like a large circuit board. Creative Machines installed various lights and knobs onto the panel, making it an interactive learning display about circuitry.

Downtown warehouses get signage

WAD-photoIn collaboration with the Downtown Warehouse Arts District, the Gloo Factory is printing and installing sings on many of the historic warehouses located in downtown Tucson and the area north of the tracks. Each sign has a QR code that will take you to a web page that talks about the history of the building. Look for the signs we’ve just put up along Toole Ave and 6th Ave/6th St areas.

New Year, Same Gloo.
