Quality Construction

BlueMoon takes great pride in the quality of the pieces we create. We print the images for our products on photographic paper--we DO NOT use ink or toner based printing which is not nearly as durable. We also use Acrylic to mount the figures on instead of foam core or wood like many of our competitors do. Acrylic is much more stable, and we think it looks better too! The six steps illustrated below show the basic steps of producing a cutout from one of your photos.

1Sending Your Image

You take a picture. It turns out fabulous! You send it to BlueMoon for the special treatment it deserves.

2Making a Photo Print

After basic color inspection & correction, our Digital Photo Printers use lasers to 'write' the picture onto quality Kodak photo printing paper.

3Outling the Central Figure

While the picture is printed, an outline of the central figure is created on the computer.

4Adhering to Acrylic

The photo print created in step -2- is mounted on a durable 1/4 inch thick sheet of Acrylic.

5Cutting Out the Figure

A computer 'reads' the outline created in step -3- and drives a high powered laser that cuts out the mounted figure.

6Your Treasure is Ready!

After cutting, the figure can be easily attached to it's Plexiglass base to be enjoyed for many years to come!
