Electronics For Imaging, Inc. has announced that Flexpress has purchased an EFI Pro 16h LED hybrid flatbed/roll inkjet printer from authorized EFI distributor Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.

As we start to experience a fluctuation in our weather as spring arrives, it's important to understand how to take care of your graphics when the temperature drops. Pressure-sensitive vinyl is certainly not immune to the drops in temperature. Most adhesives have an application range from approximately 50° to 80°Fahrenheit. (Be sure to check product performance guides for exact installation range for specific products.) This temperature range refers not only to the ambient temperature but also to the temperature of the substrate. If the temperature is too cold, the adhesive on the graphic will not stick. The film itself may also become stiff and difficult to work with. Some films can even become brittle and will crack if they are too cold.

Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center played host to more than 20,000 attendees and almost 600 exhibitors across 221,000 square feet at the ISA Sign Expo March 22-24. The event caters to sign shops as well as wide-format print service providers – and those who straddle the line between both of those worlds. And perhaps those who straddle that line are the perfect illustration of what we heard repeated at the show: how can you do more with what you already have? 

This week’s featured project was sent in last year by Ron Kemmel of Kemmel Design in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. He says he spent three months designing this car trailer wrap.

2. What is migration?
3. How does an ink designed for low migration applications differ from an ink that meets a specific industry guideline?
