Airport Wall Mural

BWI Wall Mural

I spotted this wall mural in BWI airport on my way back from Florida. Although we have printed wall murals for BWI, this one was not our work, although it certainly could have been.

What I like about this particular wall mural is how BWI is using them as advertising on what would otherwise be a big, blank, white wall.

All around this airport you see custom wall murals being used to advertise the local area, local colleges, and local points of interest. I’m sure it’s extra revenue for the airport, as well as good information for people coming to the area.

Personalized Image Printing

Image Printing

We have recently generated the ability to print large numbers of images onto flat surfaces such as foamcore and gatorboard. We’ve also done this for yoga mats and wall size maps. Our unique data handling system and high speed flatbed printing make this possible.

We find that many app developers are looking for a print production company to turn the large numbers of images they handle into printed goods. Rather than develop that capability themselves, they partner with us.

That leaves them with the job of polishing their app and advertising programs to generate the large numbers of images that we print for them. It’s a good partnership.

Call us if you need a fulfillment printing partner!

Mylar Bolt Template

Mylar Bolt Template for a Machine

Machine Bolt Template

Here’s a pattern for drilling the bolt holes and service connections for a machine. We made the template by printing on mylar with one of our UV cured printers.

This bolt pattern template is accurate to 1mm in 5 meters, so the bolt holes will be in the right place! The mylar material will not stretch or tear, and it’s frosty clear so you can see what’s below it.

When the bolt pattern template needs to be over 54″ in the small dimension, we print on two strips of mylar with an inch of overlap. Customers usually tape the two (or more) pieces together, and then locate the entire thing where it needs to go on the floor. Depending on the size of the final bolt pattern required, we can use either 36″ or 54″ mylar. We stock both sizes.

Send us an Autocad drawing at 1:1 size, and we’ll make a machine bolt pattern for you!

Book Signing Graphics

Foamcore Poster for Book Signing

Book Tour Poster

We printed this book cover poster for a book signing at our good customer Innisfree Book Shop in Meredith NH. It’s direct printed on foamcore board, and we put an easel stand on the back so it sets nicely on a table.

If you are an author setting out on a book signing tour, let us make a book cover poster of your book cover to display. It will help you sell more books, and create a memory for the people who buy them.

We can generally turn your book cover poster order around in a day or two, and Fedex them anywhere in the country! Best of all, we don’t break the bank. This 24×36″ poster on foamcore is $68.

Outdoor Trail Signs

Ski Map Sign

Ski Trail Map

Here’s a ski trail map we printed several years ago for the Holderness School. The trails are right across the road from our shop, and a few of us use them at lunch time to get a workout, and I took this picture to show how well it has weathered.

We printed this trail map directly onto OmegaBond with our UV printer. OmegaBond is a sign making material that is 1/8″ of high density polyethylene with a white painted aluminum face on both sides.

The work is attractive and durable, and since we print directly onto the material, it’s pretty affordable.

We also printed a number of “You Are Here” trail maps for the area, which they have at major trail intersections. It’s awfully nice to know where you actually are when you come to a junction! A trail map is nice, but knowing where you are on it becomes important when you are a few kilometers from a warm fire!

Full Size People Cutouts

Life Size Cutouts

This takes us back to the 2008 New Hampshire primary. We printed life-size cutouts of the contenders for an event sponsored by a major publication. It was a hoot!

We actually made two life size cutouts of Obama, and he lurked around the office for over a year. Gave me quite a start a number of times when I came in over the weekend.

Life size cutouts can be a lot of fun, from things like 50th wedding celebrations, take your picture with a star, etc. We print a lot of them, let us print one for you!

Vinyl Banners for Winter

Posted on December 30, 2018 by Jay Buckley

Outdoor Winter Banner

Being in New Hampshire, we know a thing or two about winter weather. One is that regular vinyl banners become brittle and shatter at about 5 degrees below zero. Across much of the northern half of the country you will hit that temperature at least once during the winter. In ski country it’s a lot more than that!

Materials, including vinyl, have a temperature known as the ductile-brittle transition temperature. Think about a rubber band which stretches at room temperature, but if dipped in liquid nitrogen will shatter like glass.

Our matte outdoor vinyl banners have a cold crack temperature of 20 below, and our Across the Street Vinyl banners are 30 below. So, unless it’s really cold out, we can give you a vinyl banner that will last the winter.

Machine Bolt Template Printing

Posted on December 11, 2018 by Jay Buckley
template for machine placement

Machine Floor Template

We have switched technologies for printing machine bolt templates, from using aqueous printers to our new UV printer.

There are a couple of good reasons for the switch. First of all, we find the UV printers are more accurate, giving us very long machine bolt templates that are right on the required dimensions. We are able to hold within a millimeter in five meters, or .02% accuracy!

The other advantage is that the UV cured ink is not water soluble. In fact, it’s not even solvent soluble! On the off chance that the machine bolt template gets wet or oily, the printing on the mylar templates will not be affected.

If you need a template to make it easier to install your equipment, give us a call! We can make very large templates by fitting together panels of 36″ or 54″ wide mylar.

Our UV printers do a great job of printing on yoga mats! We can print logos, names, photos, you name it. The colors are bright and happy, and the printing is durable.

We put them in several high traffic areas of our shop, and they still look brand new after over three months of being crisscrossed all day.

We stock five colors of yoga mats: blue, green, orange, purple and red. Get us artwork and we’ll ship within a week.

Minimum order is 10 custom printed yoga mats. Pricing depends on quantity and the size of the printing on a standard 24×68″ yoga mat. Call us and let us price up a custom yoga mat for you!
