With the challenge of ensuring high-quality imagery on a large print, Virginia-based diversified printing and signage business, Trophy and Sign Center, went in search of a material that could meet such expectations.
However, it was a chance meeting of its founder Eddie Hundley, regular vendor Lindenmeyr Munroe, and a Drytac specialist that eventually led the company to using ReTac Textures for the project.
Trophy and Sign Center used Drytac ReTac Textures wallcovering film to create a wall mural based on the iconic children’s book, Alice in Wonderland. The mural covered two walls, with one part measuring approximately 234cm (92” tall) and 488cm (192” wide), and the other approximately 92” tall and 274cm (108”) wide.
‘Our vendor happened to be in the neighbourhood with a salesperson from Drytac,’ said Hundley. ‘We got talking and next thing we know we’re printing on this awesome material. This was the first time we have ever used the vinyl, and I would recommend it to anybody.’
Trophy and Sign Center selected the sand finish from the ReTac Textures range for the project. It used its HP Latex 365 printer to print the eye-catching design onto the film, with the completed piece drawing high praise from the customer.
‘The customer loves the finished product and has praised us all over social media,’ Hundley said. ‘We have used a ton of different vinyls for wall murals and hands down we would recommend this option to everybody to try. The print is awesome, the installation was great, and we liked being able to pull back when encountering any issues.’
