Our Process
In order to provide our customers with the highest quality products and graphics, we have a strict process that results in a long-lasting product with maximized production efficiency.
-
Design
Every project starts with a design, whether it's designed by our in-house Graphic Designer or provided by the client.
-
Prep for Print
Once artwork is approved by the client, it is then fitted into a digital art-board the width of the printing medium. Cut-lines and machine-specific "Spot Colors" are added for the Printer and Cutter to read.
-
Printing
The art-board is then loaded into a RIP (Raster Image Processing) software, which reads the cut-lines, spot colors, and crop marks. Once finished printing, it is then cut off from the printer and onto a roll.
-
Lamination
After being cut-off the printer, the vinyl dries for 12-24hrs to allow ink to dry out. Once dry, the print is ran through a laminator to adhere a protective film over the print.
-
Cutting/Plotting
After laminating, any excess laminate is cut off from the edges. The print is then loaded into a plotter, which reads the crop marks and cut-lines from the RIP software.
-
Prep For Shipping
The final sheet or roll is then received by our team to either sort, hand-cut into individual parts, add a transfer backing, and/or remove any non-essential vinyl.
