Frequently Asked Questions
Are 3D Gel Plates Legal?
Yes, plates with 3D characters are legal, providing that all the usual requirements of non-3D plates are met.
Are Your Characters Legal?
Yes, the key compliance factors of BS AU 145d are the font and spacing. Liquid Lens characters use the prescribed font for 79mm characters, and our alignment jig ensures correct spacing.
Will Your Characters Comply with the New Legislation?
Yes, we’re working with independent experts to ensure that our font matches BS AU 145e, and your solid black characters will provide the required contrast against your reflective plates.
You may have heard that BS AU 145e no longer allows 3D characters. This is misleading because the standard actually excludes printed fonts in a 3D style – and any other two-tone printed effect.
Raised characters are not prohibited.
