Not even three feet of snow could
stop the team at Fastsigns Waltham
(fastsigns.com/401) from preparing for
the New England Patriots' Super Bowl
victory parade. More than 40 banners,
ranging from five to 40 feet wide, were
printed on their HP Latex 360 and cut
with a Zünd digital cutter.
To celebrate Heart Awareness Month,
friends and family with loved ones
affected by cardiovascular issues posted
pictures of their "Heart Heroes" to local
American Heart Association and Lamar
Advertising (lamar.com) Facebook
pages. The photos were displayed on
Lamar's digital billboards across the city
throughout the month of February.
There's no template for wrapping
a Zamboni, but the TKO Graphix
(tkographix.com) crew didn't blink
(or shiver) when asked to wrap the
ice resurfacer for use at Indy Fuel
minor league hockey games. The
wrap was printed on 3M IJ180Cv3-10
with an EFI Vutek 3360 printer and 3M
8518 laminate.
