Trash into Class

Like a blank wall, cuts of vinyl can help create a new sense of feel and look. With our creative thinking, Speedpro Imaging was able to turn an old table top into an unique table stand.

With our specialize premium vinyl, our graphic designers can take any image and mount it on any surface. For a 2 x 2 table top, the cost total comes to $24.00, including print and mount time. This price is also for retail. For wholesale, the price would be about $5+ cheaper.

Instead of throwing old furniture, why not revamp it to suit your needs? Whether it is a table top, laptop, or toy car, Speedpro Imaging can help you create the perfect gift or the perfect look.

Sunday's Riddle-A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say? He said that you'll sentence me for six years in prison. Since it's true, the judge can't sentence him for four years. And he was lying then you would still be telling the truth because she would still sentence him for six years. The judge just let him go.

How to use large format graphics in decorating?

Though large format graphics are not as popular in decorating as other materials, large format prints can still make a room look amazing.

For example art reproductions, like this one from Cheryl Myrbo and Tim Settimi (on the left), can enable you to get any fine piece of art in the world. With the ability to print on canvas, Speedpro is able to hit any color or image you need to make your picture right.

For inquiries on Sheryl Myrbo and Tim Settimi's works of art, please visit, http://home.earthlink.net/~cherylmyrbo.

Another helpful large format decorating tip is wall murals.
Turn your whole room into a forest to get a relaxing feel. From cut vinyl to full colored panels, large format printers are also able to get your wall into the image you're looking for. Whether it is simple tree branches (from the left), wall murals can change the feel and look of your room.

Remember, there is special vinyl out there for wall graphics. So before your decide on using a large format printer, make sure you know what material it's being printed on and the adhesive strength. You don't want to have a wall mural that once you peal it off, the paint comes with it.
If you have any questions on what particular vinyl should be used, you can email me at sbailey@speedpro.com. I've actually used some cut vinyl to decorate my friend's hallway. I'll try to get some pictures up on that project.

The Rolling Memorial

September 11th-the day the world stopped.

Remembering those who have fought for our country and serviced during our nation's trying times brought back a sense of strength and togetherness that was once forgotten. As citizens of the United States of America, our courage and strength was tested on 9/11. And as a nation, we prevailed. On September 11th, we showed the world what Americans were made out of-determination, strength, courage, compassion, love, and pride for our country.

Last week, I received an email from my boss. It talked about a trucker who painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives on 9/11.

The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer, Minn. He has been 'pulled over' numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with the truck. Here are some pictures of his:

Car Wrap Maintenance

Congratulations! You finally got your car wrapped! The install took a while but the images line up perfectly and you're proud that your graphic looks WONDERFUL on your car. You pull out of the parking lot only to be caught behind a truck hauling dirt. Now the dirt hitting your freshly wrapped car. How will you clean it? What's the maintenance on car wraps?

Easy, here are the Dos and Don'ts of car wrap maintenance:

Do hand wash your car.
- Remember to avoid using ammonia and/or bleach based cleansers like Windex, 409, and etc.
- Use a mild liquid detergent and water solution to wash the graphic. You can slo use a soft brush, rag, or sponge to help clean some of the stuck on dirt.
-Try to avoid an unnecessary scrubbing, and you should be alright.

• 
  

Do not go through an automatic car wash with brush systems. By going through an automatic car wash, some of the problems that might occur are:

· Brushes can catch a loose edge of the car wrap and cause more damage to the car and to the wrap.

· Brushes can dull or scratch the finish of the graphic.

Remember if you have questions about the material or maintenance, contact your installer or printer. Besides that have fun in your new wrapped car!!!!
