Let’s Go: Navigating our Industry as Businesses Re-open

Last month, we gathered several LexJet sales representatives to discuss what they heard in the market as some of their customers and non-essential businesses started shutting down for quarantine.

Now, as states begin slowly opening for business, we want to bring these familiar faces together again to discuss ways you can prepare your printshop for a return to normal business and how you can help new customers who will be looking for new ideas such as floor graphics, safety shields and other products that will help with CDC recommendations and compliance.

During the webcast, we discuss:

  • Following CDC recommendations for re-opening
  • Different print applications needed
  • Preparing equipment for increased workload after an extended shutdown
  • Help people who are new to the graphics industry
  • Social distancing applications and other market segments
  • Communicating with your customers

When It Comes to Performance, HP Prime Matte Air GP Vinyl Delivers

If you are looking for high-performance adhesive matte vinyl to create indoor or outdoor graphics, HP Prime Matte Air GP delivers rave-worthy results and is compatible with solvent, UV curable and latex printers.

Introduced last year at SGIA, customers have been singing the praises for the new HP Adhesive Vinyl products.

Rick Haines of Dimension Design in Jacksonville, Fla., has been using one of the industry’s leading calendered vinyl for years. “HP set out to create a media capable of matching the performance of a tried-and-true product,” he says. “From my experience, they have done just that.”

Haines says that his team has incorporated the Prime Matte into their everyday use and paired it with HP Matte Polymeric Laminate.  “The results have been as advertised, and we’re very pleased that we can save some money without losing any quality,” he says.

The versatility is why William Roll of Signarama in Dothan, Ala., and his team like the Prime Matte. “My guys love the HP,” he says. “They grab it for every application they can use it on, and they tell me that the air-release component is the best they’ve ever used. It’s been used for interior menu boards at a garage and economical seasonal window displays.”
