A Cutting-Edge Update for Visit Sarasota County’s Visitors Center

The space dedicated for Visit Sarasota County’s visitor center started as a pretty blank slate — crisp white walls with high ceilings and lots of potential. The Visit Sarasota team asked LexJet to add some creativity with the possibilities of print. And we took it from floor to ceiling … and beyond.

Since we knew that desktop and bookshelves would be covered with colorful brochures and maps, we opted for a subtle watercolor print for the wallcovering. We chose Vescom Polster wallcovering with a slightly textured surface that provides the natural look and feel of stucco. And because this Type II PVC vinyl wallcovering is Class A fire rated and meets EPA requirements for low-VOC emitting products, we knew it would be a safe option for the busy visitors center.

Panels printed on EnduraFab Frontlit Premier

A large curved wall was just begging for a show-stopping graphic. Using EnduraFab Frontlit Premier latex-printable textile, we printed five hanging panels that created the quintessential Sarasota sunset family portrait.

Our most exciting print project paired canvas wraps with augmented reality. We printed a half dozen canvas wraps with images that photographers captured around the Sarasota area. Using our proprietary augmented reality app for smartphones or tablets, a video would play when the device was held in front of the canvas wraps.

The canvas wraps included images of beach scenes, paddle boarding, shopping and more areas of interest for visitors. We chose Fredrix 777VWR Vivid Matte Canvas with a smooth texture that delivers highly detailed photo reproductions.

Watch the video above to see how it all came together for the Visit Sarasota County group and their open house, which celebrated the new space.

Celebrating Our Culture & 25th Anniversary

Celebrating Our Culture & 25th Anniversary

With 25 years in the print industry under our belts, we wanted to mark the occasion with the latest edition of our Culture Book, published by our parent company, S-One Holdings Corporation.

It seems like yesterday when LexJet was born with a product that forever changed the way outdoor signage would be created. We came to market with LexJet, the product, which was a film that could be both digitally printed and then embossed with Braille wording, which was a requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our invention allowed businesses to harness the power of digital printing and quickly change their signage.

From there, we’ve brought innovation after innovation to the print industry. You can read all about it starting on page 34. Check out a digital version of the Culture Book here. You’ll also notice the option to request a printed version, which we highly recommend so you can experience some of the most exciting advances in print today.

Using the new S-OneAR app, videos come to life right off the pages of the S-One 2019 Culture Book.

In the production of this book, we worked with industry pros to incorporate this cutting-edge technology, including HP SmartStream Mosaic software to create unique cover designs for each copy, printed on HP Indigo. We also utilized Scodix digital embellishing to add a super-glossy raised “S” on the cover.

We also incorporated augmented reality with our new app, S-OneAR, which allows you to watch videos right from the pages of the book using your smartphone or tablet. (See page 1 for all the details on how to download and use the app.)

We couldn’t have made it to 25 years without the support of our customers and partners. We hope you enjoy our 2019 Culture Book and will help us keep our 25th anniversary going all year long!
