Limited Only By Your Imagination
Even though our standard products fill most graphic needs, there are times when you need a treatment that is more unique and customized for your space. Perhaps your space has an unusual shape or your product or service just doesn't fit the standard. With our years of experience, we begin by analyzing your needs and then creating a solution that will meet your communication and branding objectives. The examples below illustrate a few of the ways we have been able to help clients accomplish their objectives. We welcome the opportunity to help you, too.
Metal Prints
This client wanted a clean, contemporary look for their office. We took the concept of the Offset Grid and instead of printing on canvas, we printed direct to aluminum. Given the choice of brushed aluminum or aluminum with a white coating, we agreed upon white aluminum because it made the image much stronger. The aluminum was mounted onto 1/2" black Sintra and then attached to the wall to give a floating appearance. The image is in five pieces and covers an area of 25 square feet. Makes a great focal point for the space.
Custom Designed Trash Container Wrap
The client wanted to brand and decorate their trash containers in a sports venue. The design allows the client to make their containers become a part of the atmosphere and the copy supports the excited crowd experience. The wrap is a digital print fully protected with HardGuard thermal laminate for long life and easy maintenance and is wrapped totally around the container.
Company Timeline
Our client wanted an eye-catching and creative way of presenting a timeline of their company. Their business is ceiling fans and they chose "fan blades" as markers on the timeline. The "fan blades" are actually digital prints mounted to Sintra cut in the shape of fan blades. The timeline is made of wood with plaques applied. We produced a customized vinyl wall covering for the background with their logo included, which furthers their brand identity.
Translucent Window Graphics
This client was faced with creating a showroom in a space with windows that did not have the most attractive view. They designed and we produced beautiful outdoor scenes that give viewers the illusion of a perfect and restful view. The images contained a balcony rail, which added to the dimension and realism. The project was printed on special translucent self-adhesive material that was applied directly to the glass in the windows and doors.
Duratrans® Backlit Insert in Ceiling Light Panel
This particular client is in the health care profession and wanted calming and peaceful images rather than fluorescent tubes to be the first thing patients saw in the recovery room. They also wanted the effect above treatment areas where patients lie for an extended time. We produced Duratrans®, a full-color photographic product designed to be backlit. The built-in diffuser in Duratrans® makes the distinctive shape of fluorescent tubes disappear.
Be sure to visit our Installations section to see more examples.

Standards for File Preparation
|
CHROMIRA DIRECT DIGITAL PRINTS — FILE PREPARATION 2. Files that require additional computer time to make print ready will incur additional cost at $75 per hour 3. Print sizes should be at final output size or proportional to final output dimensions. If more than one size format is used e.g.: 20x24 and 40x60, include properly cropped files for each format. 4. Flatten images and remove all extra channels. 5. The optimum TIF file resolution of the Chromira is 300 ppi but good results are possible from lower resolutions. If more than one size is needed from the same file, choose the resolution for the largest size. If you are submitting digital camera files, there is no need to increase resolution; we will do that for you. 6. For increased compatibility with us, please use Adobe RGB (1998) as your Working Color Space in Adobe PhotoShop. Files in sRGB are also quite acceptable. 7. We accept files on CD or DVD, and electronically. SPECIAL NOTE: Ours is a high-resolution photographic process. To ensure quality, please double-check your work by viewing files on your monitor at 100%-200% and closely checking all elements of the document, especially type. |
INKJET PRINTS — FILE PREPARATION WALLPAPER FILE SETUP When building wallpaper files, all panels must have extra image area (approximately 1”) on the top and bottom. On a Left Panel add 1 inch minimum to the left side and on a Right Panel add 1 inch minimum to the right side. Please take measurements at various places on the walls to be covered to allow for rooms out of square and the unevenness of counter tops, etc that we might hang paper around. DIGITAL COLOR MANAGEMENT We have taken an important step beyond most labs and have installed a comprehensive color management system. The MonacoOPTIX system gives us the ability to profile scanners, monitors and output devices (Chromira and Inkjet) so we are able to profile scanners for specific devices and then output exactly what we see on our monitors. If you intend to retouch/enhance some or all of your files, we strongly recommend that you at least invest in a monitor profile builder to properly profile your monitor.
|
Several monitor-profiling programs are available. We are using MonacoOPTIX and are very pleased with the results. The program consists of software and an X-Rite DTP 92 colorimeter and sells for approximately $300. Output profiles are available for soft proofing in Photoshop. Please let us know if you need help finding a source for these programs. If you choose not to purchase monitor profiling at the present, or if you would like a calibration file and match print to adjust or finalize your settings to our system, please contact our Customer Service department. This kit will allow you to view a file in Photoshop and see an actual print from that file made on the Chromira. The kit also contains suggestions on how to calibrate your monitor using Adobe Gamma. Our standard Working Color Space in Photoshop is Adobe RGB (1998). We strongly suggest you work in and save your work in that space as well as make that your default. FTP YOUR FILES TO MID-SOUTH Please use an FTP Client application to access the Mid-South FTP Server. Here is a small list of popular clients: Mac: Fetch, FileZilla, Cyberduck, Transmit PC: FileZilla, Cute FTP, WS_FTP Please contact us for FTP settings. The upload speed depends largely on your connection to the Internet. For larger files, we suggest that you have high speed Internet service. |
