1.Reasons for pattern skewing and misalignment
Whether it is UV printing, screen printing, or laser engraving, deviation of the equipment positioning system or inaccurate manual alignment will cause the pattern on patterned acrylic panels to deviate from the intended position. When multiple panels are spliced together, the slightest shift in a single panel can result in a significant misalignment when the whole is assembled. The installation stage also hides risks, measuring and placing errors, workers operating irregularly, or ignoring the seams reserved bit, may make the carefully designed pattern 'out of shape'.
2.Solution path after the problem arises
When you find the pattern position is abnormal, you should take photos of patterned acrylic panels from multiple angles at the first time, record the deviation in detail, and keep the evidence for subsequent communication. Then compare the design drawings with the finished product, check the installation process markings, and determine whether the problem is from the production or installation process. If it's a fabrication error, contact the supplier and negotiate a remake or compensation according to the contract; if it's an installation problem, ask the installation team to rework and correct the problem. Depending on the degree of skewness, you can choose to fine-tune the fixing, re-production and installation, or if necessary, local modification to cover.
3. Practical strategies to prevent pattern misalignment
Avoiding such problems requires control at source. Provide the manufacturer with clearly labelled design drawings, specifying the size ratio and positioning information of patterned acrylic panels; for high-precision projects, ask for samples in advance to confirm the effect. Choose an experienced installation team to communicate the details before installation, supervise on-site during installation and check against the drawings in real time. At the same time, make sure that the measurement and release line is accurate, so as to build a solid foundation for the precise installation of the pattern.
