We post blog updates on various subjects to help you get the most out of your signage, from maximizing your ROI and extending the life span of your signage, to just showing off the fun stuff we get to do every day.
Smile, You Have Ultra Pure
Here's some graphics we recently did for an Ultra Pure truck
If you want us to help you get your name out there, we'd be more than happy to print you up some graphics for your vehicle! Once your graphics are printed and installed by us, every trip you make will turn in to a moving ad.
oh, How Times Have Changed
It's crazy to look back and see how much has changed over the past couple of years
Just about 2 years ago we we're a 3 man operation, we we're able to run a normal 8 hour day and still be able to supply all of our customers.
Now we have 8 people working, we continue running our machines most nights and many weekends, and we're busting at the seams. It's amazing to look back a little ways and see how far we've come, and we're super grateful to everyone whose helped us get here.
Truck Graphics for Highway Products
We're honored that we got to work with Highway Products on this truck.
It looks amazing!
BiG sign (fx)
Here is a print we recently hung in our facility.
It is a 5 piece print on EagleCell with 3 inches of blank space between each one making the over all image 19 feet wide by 8 feet tall. It's about 9-10 feet off the ground.
Direct Print on a Door
In order to complete our exit, we had to match the door to the rest of the print.
We did this by removing the window trim and the door hardware, laying it on our flatbed table and running a section of the art file on it.
Remodeling & Redecorating
Have you been in lately? Quite a few things have changed.
We figured it was time to update our facility so we painted, redid our entryway, moved our production space and printers, as well as our materials. We also decorated our entryway, pegboards, and walls.
2-Pass Print on Wood Blank
A print we did on a wooden blank.
We did this as a 2 pass print, 1 pass of white ink followed by 1 pass of color.
Welcome to the family
We recently got a new addition to our facility:
This new cutter can cut up to 62.9 inches wide, and can cut up to 39.3 inches per second!
Broken Glass Hood/Roof Wrap on an Audi A3
Here's a partial vinyl wrap we did on an Audi A3. We did the hood and roof in 3M 1080 Satin Black, then did a broken glass design over the top using 3M 1080 Gloss Flip Psychedelic.
Quality is Our Thing
We care about quality; which is why we have the printers we do, and have our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Our printers have resolutions of 1440 dpi (dots per inch), so even your most detailed prints will look as crisp and clean as ever.
Putting some Reflective Cut Vinyl on Mercy Flights Ambulances
Recently we had the honor of doing some Mercy Flights Ambulances. They were done with mostly reflective blue and red cut vinyl. There were a few pieces of non reflective blue and red as well as a little bit of black.
Promo job for our friends at Rogue Credit Union
We love walking into a local Rogue Credit Union and seeing all the prints we've done for them.
Signs we did for our friends at Bob's Automotive Performance
ACM is great for outdoor signage. It's weather proof and tough, and with lamination, it will last many many years. It's also a great material if you are mounting your sign the side of a building or to a wood blank. You're able to drill right through the sign without having to worry about cracking it.
