LexJet Velvet WallPro SUV by York, LexJet Pebble WallPro SUV by York and LexJet Canvas WallPro SUV by York are now available in both 15 oz. and 20 oz. weights.

Applied with wallpaper paste, LexJet WallPro SUV by York is a high-quality, permanent wall mural solution for a range of environments, including homes, corporate offices, healthcare facilities, schools, retail stores, museums, restaurants, hotels and resorts, sports and entertainment venues and more.

“LexJet WallPro printed great; it looked like it did on the monitor to the printer,” says Chris Knight, owner of Deck the Walls, Joplin, Mo., regarding a project the company did for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition using LexJet Velvet WallPro SUV.

LexJet Velvet WallPro SUV by York comes in three subtle textures: Velvet, Canvas and Pebble. Velvet has a smooth, lightly textured surface perfect for high-resolution images and photos. Pebble is best for those who desire a more visible texture behind the image. Canvas has the texture of finely woven canvas for a more fine-art look.

“As the oldest and largest wallcovering manufacturer in North America, York understands substrates from a printer’s perspective. And more importantly, we know what works best on walls,” said Tim Quinn, York Wallcoverings Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “York is proud to partner with LexJet in offering six superior-quality LexJet WallPro items.”

LexJet WallPro SUV by York wallcovering substrates also meet Class A fire-rating standards and EPA requirements for low-VOC emitting products.

The 15 oz. and 20 oz. versions of each are available in 54″ x 20′, 54″ x 75′ and 54″ x 150′ rolls from LexJet’s Nationwide Distribution Center Network.

Big Savings with HP’s Latest Printer Incentives

HP announced today that the HP Latex 260 61″ inkjet printer is now available for a $3,000 cash-back mail-in rebate for owners of eligible HP Designjet L series or HP Latex 200 series printers through March 31.

The rebate can be combined with the February Instant Rebate (see below), and only new HP Latex 260 printers are eligible for the promotion. All you need to do is submit a photo of the printer with the serial number. For details, go to www.hp.com/go/latexloyalty.

The HP Latex 260 is also eligible for the Upgrade to Latex promotion. Trade in a qualifying 30-inch or wider solvent printer or printer/cutter or a 42-inch or wider aqueous printer and get $2,500 cash back.

There are a number of HP printers that do not qualify for trade-in. Call a LexJet customer specialist at 800-453-9538 for more information about which printers do not qualify.

There’s also a $2,000 instant rebate on the HP Latex 260, which you can combine with the Upgrade to Latex promotions, for a total potential savings of $5,000. If you’re looking for a wider print area, HP is also offering a $7,500 instant rebate on the HP Latex 280 104″ inkjet printer.

The instant rebates are good through Feb. 28, and the Upgrade to Latex promotion for the HP Latex 260 is good through March 31.

If you’re looking to upgrade your aqueous inkjet printer, HP has a great deal for you with its HP Designjet Cash In & Trade Up Winter 2014 promotion. When you trade in a qualifying printer you can get up to $3,500 cash back.

HP Designjet printers to which you can trade up include the HP Designjet Z6200 60-inch photo printer (up to $3,500 back), HP Designjet Z6200 42-inch printer (up to $2,500 back), HP Designjet T7100 42-inch technical printer (up to $1,500 back), HP Designjet T2500 PostScript eMultifunction 36-inch printer (up to $500 back), and the HP Designjet T2500 eMultifunction 36-inch printer (up to $500 back).

Windows, Walls & Doors with Latex: Countdown to First Place

Window Graphics Cottrell Printing

The results are in from LexJet’s first annual Windows, Walls and Doors Contest, and we’re counting them down from third place to first place. To be eligible for the competition, the winning projects had to be printed on either HP or LexJet media with the HP Latex Printer.

First up is our third-place winner, Cottrell Printing in Centennial, Colo. Cottrell will receive $1,000 of in-store credit at LexJet for this beautiful beach scene printed on LexJet Simple Perforated Window Vinyl (60/40).

Window Graphics by Cottrell PrintingThe window graphics were produced for MI Sports in Denver, highlighting the brands the store carries. The graphics were applied in five panels: three 1′ x 6′ horizontal panels for the logos (top and bottom for the window on the left) and two 50″ x 6′ panels for the beach scenes. Cottrell’s large format manager, Brett Hillbrand, says the larger beach scene panels were applied from top to bottom vertically.

Since the store’s windows face south, the graphics have the added benefit of providing relief from the sun in the summertime.

“From inside, it allows the perfect amount of light to come through. I drove past it the other day and it still looks great. The client was quite happy with the end result and the quality we were able to deliver with the printer and the perforated window vinyl. And they ordered some more large-format work from us, like retractable banner stands,” says Hillbrand.

Stay tuned for the unveiling of the second- and first-place winners in the coming days…
