LexJet Extends Special Pricing on WallPro SUV through April

Wall murals inkjet printingLexJet recently reduced the price of its WallPro SUV by 20 percent and extended the special pricing through April. The sales price is already in the system, so all you have to do is call a LexJet account specialist or go to www.lexjet.com and order. The special sales price will end on April 30.

Custom inkjet printed wall murals add value to your large format print offerings, opening up additional markets and profit potential. Compatible with low solvent, solvent and UV-curable printers, including the Epson GS6000, LexJet WallPro SUV is available in four textures:

  • LexJet Velvet WallPro SUV is the most versatile because its smooth, softly textured surface is good for reproducing high-resolution images. It is recommended for use in corporate environments, healthcare facilities, entertainment venues and retail.
  • LexJet Canvas WallPro SUV looks like a finely woven art canvas. It is ideal for reproducing artwork and photographs and is a great choice for museums, restaurants, and hotels. It can even be used to create short-term economical gallery wraps for indoor or outdoor décor art.
  • LexJet Fresco WallPro SUV has a subtle, plaster-like texture that is perfect for certain types of restaurant décor or printing historical images in museums or themed retail environments. Images printed on this wallpaper can appear as if they have been painted directly on the wall.
  • LexJet Pebble WallPro SUV is a good option for décor clients who want to see a stronger, more visible texture behind an image with softer details.

All of LexJet’s WallPro SUV wallcoverings meet Class A fire-rating standards and EPA requirements low VOC-emitting products. Because LexJet WallPro materials are designed for long-term use, professional installation by an experienced paperhanger is recommended.

Wall Covering Sets the Tone at Gander Mountain

Park Printing Solutions printed dozens of approximately 12 ft. x 50 ft. murals on LexJet Velvet WallPro SUV for Gander Mountain. Some were applied directly to the wall if it was drywall, while others like this application were applied to a framed board. The painted cinder block was not the ideal surface and Gander Mountain wanted a consistent, classy look for all the wall murals as well as a velvet surface that would not reflect the glare of the overhead lights.

Giant wall murals are always a challenge, especially when it comes time to install the behemoths. Park Printing Solutions, working in conjunction with its client, Gander Mountain, found the perfect solution.

Gander Mountain was in the midst of opening a number of new stores and updating some of its older stores when the outdoor gear superstore heard about Park Printing Solutions. Given Park Printing’s expertise and reputation for creating outstanding environmental graphics programs, and the nature of Gander Mountain’s needs, Park Printing was a logical choice.

The question, as always, centered on the best material for such a project. Some of the wall mural installations would go up on drywall, others on painted cinder block. The drywall solution was simple: inkjet receptive, commercial grade vinyl wall covering that’s applied like regular wallpaper. For the cinder block walls, Gander Mountain decided to build giant frames upon which to apply the wall covering. Gander Mountain stuck with an inkjet receptive vinyl wall covering (pun intended) for this project because the Gander Mountain installation team preferred a wallpaper-like application, it would maintain a consistent look and it would simply look better.

“If you compare a flat matte wall covering material to a typical vinyl that has a sheen to it, the wall covering will look much more chic, which is what they were going for,” says Mike Stolen, product manager for Park Printing Solutions, based in Verona, Wis. Park Printing Solutions chose to use LexJet Velvet WallPro SUV for the project, which would entail dozens of approximately 12 ft. x 50 ft. murals.
