Print shops everywhere are looking to expand their specialty application offerings, so we rounded up seven examples of unique floor graphics, fine art prints, magnetic media applications, and specialty windows. Then, we asked all of our contributors the same question: What would you say to someone who has never produced this specialty application before?

The first season of the new GSN series “Window Warriors” – a new skill-based competition TV series combining art and commerce – concluded recently, with the winner, Timothy Howe, walking away with the $100,000 grand prize. Throughout the season, the eight designer contestants competing on the show relied in part on Roland’s advanced wide-format printers and vinyl cutters to create their elaborate retail window displays.

Quality Print Services (QPS) has seen an increase in sales of its most easy-to-use alternative inks, suggesting a trend of UK sign and graphics companies looking to improve workflow efficiencies in the print room. In particular, Chris Bailey, Director of QPS, says he has experienced a surge in print businesses choosing Nazdar 705 series ink, developed as a direct replacement for the HP FB 250 series inks for HP FB500/700 printer platforms. As it is a plug-and-play system, a new Nazdar 705 ink box is simply fitted directly behind an empty OEM box quickly and easily, with no requirement to flush or re-profile the RIP software and therefore no ink is wasted.

The durability of a vehicle wrap is only as good as the surface you're applying material to. Just like a poor paint job can cause failure so can an improperly cleaned vehicle. We get our fair share of dirty vehicles rolling in on the day of application. To be honest though, we've been a bit lax in instructing our customers on what they need to do to their vehicle before bringing their it in to be wrapped.

After seeing how much time we were spending cleaning and prepping vehicles before application we realized it was time to change our policy. We've since put together a simple hand-out, an instruction sheet for our customers so they know what we expect from them.
