Vehicle wraps are printed onto an adhesive backed vinyl using
large format digital ink jet printers. The graphics produced range
from solid colors to photographic type of images. The vinyl is then
"wrapped" onto the body. This technology is widely used in the
commercial sector and would include public transit buses, widely seen
on the streets, to the small and large business owners. Many companies
have seen the value of this new form on non-traditional advertising.
