Mutoh School of Wrap Workshop at Seal completed

I just got done teaching the 2-day basic/intermediate workshop for Mutoh at Seal in Elkridge, MD.  Once again, it was a great class.  All the students were eager to learn and wrap, wrap wrap.  We wrapped one of the students vehicles, pictured below.  We worked a lot on technique and understanding the film and really only got to wrapping the car during the afternoon session on day 2.  I was very impressed that with everything they had picked up they wrapped the car in 3 1/2 hours.  Thanks as always to Mutoh for printing such beautiful graphics and Avery for their supa Supercast.  A special thanks to Mark Rugen and Seal for the hospitality.  Tomorrow the advanced workshop and then off to Halifax to teach a private workshop for Avery.

Workshop #1 at Sign Warehouse completed

3

This is the group pic of the basic/intermediate group for the Mutoh School of Wrap workshop at Sign Warehouse in Texas.  This was a really great group of students - very eager to learn and get deep into the process.  Over two days they got up to speed on my UGIS: Universal Graphic Installation system and wrapped a box truck for a local high school and a mini-van for Sign Warehouse.

They really enjoyed working with the Avery 1005 Supercast film with the 1.3 overlam.  I think the three things they liked about it was the initial low tack which made it very easy to reposition, how well it conformed to curves and that it prints great.  All the graphics were printed by a Mutoh Valuejet which meant that they were perfect.  Tomorrow is the advanced class and then I'm heading back home to be with my ladies.  A special thanks to Larry Adams and everyone at Sign Warehouse for helping make this a great workshop and to Crystal Baus and Chris Prince at Mutoh for all their hard work in promoting and with administration.

Speedwrap workshop for 3M Sweden

From February 24-27, Justin completed teaching two Speedwrap workshops for 3M Sweden. The first of which was held at Layout-Dekor in Gnesta, Sweden. The second workshop was held at Brand Factory in Stockholm, Sweden. The workshops were created to fine tune the Speedwrap Module in accordance with 3M Sweden's MCS warranty program.

The idea is that the participants will go through 3 training modules in order to receive MCS installer status from 3M Sweden.  Installers with MCS status will be given access to all MCS accounts which are premium level.
