For outdoors enthusiasts wanting a rustic/camo look for their metal hunting blinds, pole barns, garage doors or other metal structures, Realtree camo steel coils are now on the market. The Steel Dynanics TruSteel HD digital print line incorporates an inline inkjet printer, roll coater, and electron-beam curing system to produce single-sided printed steel with a Realtree camo image resolution up to 400 dpi.
Steel Dynamics (SDI) melts, rolls, metallic coats, and paints our own coils of steel. SDI invested in new technology that allows us to digitally print images on steel and many of our customers were asking for wood-grain patterns. But as we rolled out this new technology, customers started to be interested in camo and the patterns they have been asking for are Realtree. Our product is called TruSteel HD. We can produce steel from 36- to 60-inches wide and in gauges from .015 to .035. We are excited to partner with Realtree and bring their images to life on steel.
