A Roman Environment on Canvas at The Colosseum Italian Restaurant

Canvas Print for Restaurant Decor

The Colosseum Italian Restaurant recently opened in Naples, Fla., so what better interior design motif than a giant canvas giclee reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum?

The owner of The Colosseum (the restaurant, that is) contacted Jerry Summers of ColorTec Graphics and Design, Cape Coral, Fla., to see if he could print what would be a 21′-high and 44′-long canvas piece to frame the main dining area. They had collaborated on canvas giclees in the past, so canvas seemed a natural fit.

Restaurant Decor on Canvas“He asked me if I could do it, and I told him we won’t know until we try,” recalls Summers. “It exceeded expectations. The prints turned out extremely sharp and he did a great job of applying it.”

As you can see from the pictures, it was a project of extreme detail, as Summers built the images literally brick by brick in Photoshop.

Ultimately, Summers would print close to 40 canvas panels to be applied to the structure that would hold the canvas, built in 33 4×8 plywood sections. Summers used Sunset Select Gloss Canvas, printed on an Epson Stylus Pro 9880.

“The color turned out wonderful on the canvas. I’ve used Sunset Select Gloss Canvas for several years now and I really enjoy it,” says Summers. “The owner of the restaurant calls it the largest canvas giclee in the world, and I can’t argue with him because I don’t know of a larger one.”

The canvas prints were applied to the plywood structure with contact cement to ensure a permanent bond. Now it’s the perfect backdrop for dining and enjoying the live music and entertainment regularly featured at The Colosseum.

Printing and Sticking Custom Wedding DVD Photo Covers

Custom DVD Cover by Mark Hawkins Photography

Mark and Kelly Hawkins own and operate a high-end wedding photography studio in Green Bay, Wis., where a personal, customized experience for the bride and groom is job one. To elevate their print products, the couple invested in a Canon iPF8400 wide-format inkjet printer they picked up from LexJet and their personal printer specialist, Rob Finkel.

LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric DVD CoverMark has also struck up a friendship with Andy Wredberg, owner of AW Artworks in Sun Prairie, Wis., whose work shows up regularly here at the LexJet Blog. Andy helped Mark take the printer upgrade plunge, a plunge that Mark says made a big splash.

“We only shoot about 30 weddings per year and we want them to get the highest value possible, so the more customization we can do, the better. The Canon is such an easy printer to use, and the Photoshop plug-in that comes with it also makes it super-simple,” Mark says. “I told Rob yesterday that the bottom line is that when I hit that print button it’s exactly the way it looks on my monitor; the LexJet profiles are dead-on with pretty much every media type. It’s mind-blowing. Time is money, and I don’t want to waste time, ink and material, and with this printer I don’t.”

Mark Hawkins PhotographyAfter a wedding, Mark and Kelly deliver two main print products: a wedding album and a wall collage. Mark says that one of the reasons they got the printer was to deliver bigger and better wall collages to their clients.

“What spurred the purchase of the iPF8400 was to do some higher-end artwork; not just canvas wraps, but art paper and boutique applications for the wedding market. There are a lot of cool uses for a variety of print media in the wedding market. People spend all this money already, so they should have nice custom printed products,” Mark says.

The client also gets a DVD of all the photos from the wedding, but Mark ran into an issue when he ran out of DVD cases. The new Canon printer and LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric came to the rescue, not only giving Mark a workaround on deadline, but a new way to present DVDs to clients.

“We were out of the cases yesterday, so I used some scrap art paper that I cut to size and folded in half, printed a nice image from the wedding on one side and the photo release for the DVD on the other side that gives them permission to do whatever they want with the images. That way you don’t have to use another piece of paper to print a release, so it kills two birds with one stone. Plus, the Print-N-Stick makes it easy to take it off and reapply it if I don’t align it correctly,” Mark says. “I love having a fully customizable product that gives us an opportunity to recycle and re-use materials that would otherwise go to waste.”
