Freyja Art Meets Mr. Magnus
Printing Becomes Art
The Unusual Print Product
Thanks to the exceptional performance of Nano-Tack and Dotty Satin, the plastic films with nanostructures from the Mr. Magnus by Guandong range, printing becomes an art. The Czech painter Zuzana Mesárošová, also known as Freyja Art, has selected these special adhesive films with nanotechnology, which are among the bestsellers of the “specialty specialist”. She used them to create an exclusive series of glass decals inspired by her work Forest Angel.
Mr. Magnus: Nanotechnology adhesive films form the basis of a series of glass decals.
The artist had the desire not only to create simple stickers that reproduce her paintings, but to create unique stickers capable of creating real plays of light in the spaces equipped with them. The implementation of this wish was carried out by the Czech printer Amos Typo together with the Igepa Group, a premium dealer of Guandong on the European market. They immediately recognized the outstanding suitability of the “Nano-Tack” and “Dotty Satin” films. “Since its launch, Guandong's new Mr. Magnus product line has really impressed me with its wide range of applications,” commented Miroslav Hejl of Amos Typo.
After some initial testing at MoonGrailShop, a small local artisan shop that made Celtic glass decals with Mr. Magnus, Amos Typo recommended using the Nano-Tack and Dotty Satin films to painter Freyja Art. She was immediately impressed by the quality of the prints, which had a real “wow” effect. Miroslav enthusiastically explained: “The unique translucency and ultra-glossy, transparent surface that characterize Guandong media proved perfect for reproducing their works in this new format.” The result was unique applications that combine art and light in fascinating ways, bringing them to life. “We have always enjoyed experimenting with new applications and making our media available to architects, designers and creatives,” explains Daniele Faoro, Guandong’s Chief Sales & Marketing Advisor. “The glass decals produced by Amos Typo for Freyja Art illustrate how our solutions can also be used to enrich artistic techniques and create innovative products.”
Mr. Magnus' range of carrier films was created when Guandong transferred its extensive expertise in the development and marketing of innovative plastic printing materials to the plastic film sector. The product line includes specially developed plastic films for digital printing processes, dry toner technologies and offset printing in a wide range of formats, from A4 to B1 (70x100 cm), including custom sizes. In addition to the Nano-Tack and Dotty Satin options selected by Freyja Art, equipped with micro-suction cups, the Mr. Magnus family also offers magnetic and ferrite films, backlit adhesive-free stickers with Air-Drain® and self-adhesive fabric solutions and full PET.
