Digital printing on Carpet

I love walking into work and finding new products we are testing or working on. Something caught my eye the other day when I walked by the guys in production that were just finishing up a test print on Carpet. Ya Carpet! Hmmm… what type of application could this be used in? A few ideas came to mind such as trade shows, retail stores, and office buildings – but this could go virtually anywhere with the ability to print your custom message.

The photo above is the test print I mentioned. It was printed on our new Latex machine…so that means no VOC’s (this is the most environmentally friendly printer on the market at the time of this writing).

As of right now, we are only digitally printing on one type of carpet with hopes to expand on different types in the near future.

If you would like more information – just give us a call or send us an email.

Wall Graphics

Some of the coolest projects I get to work on are wall graphics.

Part of the reason I think it’s so cool is I’m usually helping to install and I get to hear the positive response of the foot traffic first hand.

When the really big Wall Graphics are needed, they are produced in panels and seamed together on the wall. This is done usually for a couple of reasons: we are limited to the material width, and the paneling is easier to handle when installing. Typically paneling is produced vertically starting from the top of the wall, allowing it to drape down the wall. Then the artwork is lined up at the seams from each panel. If done right the seams are hardly noticed.

Wall Graphics aren’t just limited to walls, either. We’ve printed on wall graphic materials that are used in elevators, on doors, desks, tables and, of course, painted drywall.

For someone wanting wall graphics up as a project, we need to know the following:

How long is it going to be up for?
Where is it going? [Walls, desks, tables, elevators, doors, etc...]
Will the wall graphic wrap around corners? Are there curves in the wall, or complex shapes that need to be worked around?

If your project is large and/or complex, we like to perform a site inspection in order to verify everything will go smoothly for your installation. Let us know if we can help on your next project.
