Renowned Museums Use Transfers Decals for Their Wall Labels

As visitors are viewing artworks, museum wall labels captioning the work are essential. Their role in improving the experience can't be underestimated. It's why museum professionals today are in search of the highest quality types of wall captions. Increasingly, custom dry transfers are one of the methods quickly gaining favor. They produce an exceptionally high level of readability and elegance with a simple one-step application. If you aren't yet aware of rub-on decals, they deserve your attention. They apply easily on walls, display cases, pedestals – any clean surface that is dry and smooth.

Custom dry transfer wall labels for museums achieve a perfect final appearance that's compatible with the artwork being described. When asked, many viewers assume they were painted of printed directly onto the wall – they look that good. Their flawless appearance complements and never detracts from the works of art. Also, because captions appear throughout an exhibit, they need to be clear and easily readable to avoid frustrating visitors. If they're difficult to read, it's an instant annoyance that will affect visitors and critics alike. Anyone who has ever struggled to read a wall caption will tell you so right away.

The most frequently used color is black printing on a white painted wall. But dry transfer wall labels look equally good in a reverse type effect where white lettering is used on a darker wall. Whichever you choose, it is a high contrast design that works well only with lettering of superior clarity and quality. It's also easy to order transfer decals because they're made directly from your digital files, which helps remove any guesswork. The wall labels you receive back are precisely the text and format you submitted, which guarantees they will look as you planned. It's added peace of mind when you're on a deadline.

One-step application is another outstanding feature of dry transfer decals. All you need to do is place the transfer sheet in the correct position for the wall label, and rub it on. If you've had experience with Letraset lettering, it is a similar process but even easier. The final appearance is much more precise that the look of stick-on vinyl lettering and better than cards that are laser printed. Transfer decals are made with a unique adhesive-backed lacquer ink that easily rubs off the transfer paper onto clean, smooth surfaces. The quality level is consistent and dependable, with delivery as fast as 24 to 48 hours.

Have You Seen the Best-Looking Wall Labels for Art Shows?

It's pretty straightforward to make the case that dry transfer decals make the best museum wall labels, and are ideal for galleries also. In places where fine art is on display, nothing else matches the caliber of exhibit captions made with transfer decals. They have an appearance that gives the impression they are printed on the wall because they are so precise and clear. Many of the better-known suppliers of rub-down decals like Image Transfers in New York have many museums as clients. It's because of quality.

Wall labels for galleries and museums need to meet requirements that are seemingly opposite. For one thing, they must be visually neutral, so they don't compete with the artwork displayed. But also they need to be easy to read and clear. Meeting all of the requirements at once can be a challenge, particularly for high-profile exhibitions. Dry transfer decals of high quality can do all that is required. It explains why they are becoming so popular among gallerists and museum professionals. Once they've become accustomed to outstanding results, everything else pales in comparison.

Exhibit cards produced on laser printers and stick-on vinyl letters are the other methods, but neither provides a high-caliber look. The laser printer cards are merely office quality documents, and the vinyl lettering isn't clear when in fine-print size. It means only custom dry transfers can provide an excellent appearance with no sacrifices. They are made from electronic files you submit, taking all guesswork out of the process – because you always get back exactly what you send. It means a reduction of stress when you're working on a deadline, and things are coming together at the last minute.

Another noticeable advantage of museum walls labels with custom dry transfers is how easy they are to apply. It's as quick as positioning the transfer sheet where you need the label and rubbing it on. Because the transfers are adhesive-backed, there's no glue to clean up or specialized skills required. They're easy for anyone to apply, and when you use the burnishing implement provided, it becomes even more natural. You'll be amazed by how good they look. The appearance is consistently superior to other methods, and they look perfect from the first minute they are rubbed on. You'll have the best wall labels guaranteed.

Can't Wait?

I know, I know, I can hardly wait until tomorrow either. In case you forgot, tomorrow night, October 7th, is the opening of the 2011 MFA Biennial, Masters of the Visual Universe. The show officially opens at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts at 5:00 p.m. If you've been paying attention to your calenders, you would have also noticed that tomorrow is the first Friday of October, which mean...the Wilmington Art Loop! Because the DCCA is hosting the Art Loop after party, the DCCA will be open until 11:00 p.m. 

While, the opening isn't until tomorrow, you don't have to wait until then for a sneak peek at the wall labels for the show. You will find the wall labels on our Sneak Peek page.
