Development of New Automobile Tire Printing Technology by Bridgestone
Here is great news for individuals how enjoy a bit of personalization when it comes to their Automobiles. This time is not about your auto body but rather your auto tire, yes the dull looking black tire. Well, dull no more; Bridgestone has come up with a revolutionary tire printing technology that will transform the ordinary tire into piece of art.
Up to now the only addition to ordinary black rubber was more rubber, white color to be exact and plenty of it on the sidewalls of tire to manufacture white ribbon and white letter tires. This additional process requires large amounts of rubber in order to prevent discoloration while maintaining durability not to mention a huge added weight to the tire, which usually means more fuel to burn.
The new tire printing technology consists of a special protective layer as a base to prevent discoloration, a newly developed ink and another protective layer for protection against external damages on the surface. The new printing technology makes it possible to print custom design prints or photographs on tire sidewalls with freedom of removing them later and replace the prints as customer desires.
