DURACHROME® AND DURALLOY® SYMBOLS

Today, the requirement for special symbols and characters is often the rule rather than the exception. Our DuraChrome and DurAlloy symbol selection includes the most commonly used and the most difficult to find. Order just the symbols you need now, or save time and money by ordering a complete set. We can also create custom symbols and dies to meet your exact specifications. Call our type specialists for more information.

*Note: Symbols S-1 through S-6 are sold individually or in 6-piece sets. Symbols S-7 through S-13 sold as individual symbols only.

DURABLE MECCO TYPE SPACER SETS

Say good-bye to common lead spacers! Durable Mecco LumAlloy spacers are made from a tough aluminum alloy for fast, even heating with no spacer distortion or melting - even at temperatures up to 1,000° F (537° C). LumAlloy’s low-profile spacer design prevents ghosting, the unwanted foil transfer that can often appear above or between type characters. LumAlloy sets contain thirty-two spacers, in three assorted widths. Use with both DuraChrome and DurAlloy type.
