New Vision Drives Adoption of Solvent Printing with a Vehicle Wrap
Training Tour for Commercial Printers and Sign Shops, Sponsored by HP,
3M, GBC, Summa, and ONYX Graphics
GREENVILLE, S.C.--(Business Wire)--New Vision, a technical and marketing services organization
focused on the digital color-printing industry, announced today the
2008 Prints In Motion winter tour dates. Prints In Motion is a
multi-city training tour that will continue January 8 in San Francisco
and then progress to Los Angeles on January 21 and Dallas-Ft. Worth on
February 25. This one-of-a-kind tour is designed to educate commercial
printers and sign shops on the use of solvent printing and vehicle
wrap services to help grow their businesses. Prints In Motion will
train participants on the full cycle of steps involved in wrapping -
not just the application of wraps but the marketing, design, and
production elements as well.
New Vision joins together with industry leaders Hewlett-Packard
(HP), 3M, GBC, Summa, and ONYX Graphics to provide this unique
learning opportunity for the signage and commercial printing markets.
Experts including nationally-certified 3M installers and HP-certified
solvent technicians will provide an introduction to solvent printing
and application techniques. The day-long event begins at 9:00 am and
will feature a live vehicle-wrap installation from start to finish,
demonstrating all stages of the wrap including design, printing,
lamination, cutting, application, and removal.
Prints In Motion first debuted in Atlanta in December 2007 and
received overwhelming response with more than 125 attendees. Attendee
David Bennett said, "Prints In Motion is a great overview to the
printing market. I came for the software and layout of designs, and I
was not disappointed." In addition, Greg Hicks of Mud Creek Graphics
commented, "Whether you're looking to begin a graphics business or
expand an existing one, this seminar is a great educational value."
The Prints In Motion winter tour will continue to San Francisco, Los
Angeles, and Dallas-Ft. Worth to accommodate more participants with an
additional stop planned for Orlando in March.
"Graphics and sign manufacturers see the potential for wrap
services but they do not necessarily know how to enter the market. The
goal of this forum is to educate those business owners and operators
so they understand what's involved and how they can capitalize on a
lucrative new revenue stream," said New Vision vice president Rick
Slagle.
"At HP, we're committed to providing the tools and resources that
will help customers capture business success," said Daryl Little,
graphic arts channel director at HP. "We are pleased to work with
other industry leaders to demonstrate the entire vehicle wrap workflow
and help attendees take advantage of the high-growth vehicle wrap
industry."
Prints In Motion attendees will gain a better understanding of
wrap design, file preparation, solvent printing, lamination, and
installation, as well as tips for marketing wrap-application services.
"We are very interested in learning more about the entire wrap process
-- from design to how to effectively market wrap services. This
information will be critical to my planning," relayed Jim Hunt,
director of technical services for FASTSIGNS.
During the event, attendees may register to win giveaways
including tuition for 3M Installer Training or a GBC laminator, which
will be drawn and awarded that day. Additionally, attendees will be
registered for the grand prize drawing - a lease on the Prints In
Motion wrapped 2008 Scion xB 4-door wagon vehicle from Toyota Motor
Sales that will be awarded at the end of the winter tour. In the
spring, the tour will relocate to the northern portion of the country,
adding at least five more cities.
Prints In Motion is open to the public, and participants may
register online. The cost of the event is $35 per attendee, which
includes lunch and all presentation materials. Additional information
