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.

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.

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.

The first module is basics, the second is carwrapping and the third is the speedwrapping.  Because the Speedwrap Module is the most advanced workshop it focuses not only on the installation but other aspects involved before and after a wrap . First, the module will fine tune techniques and create speed for fleet wrapping. Second, there is time spent on how to create communication between installers, salespeople and designers.

This significantly reduces stress and time lost as well as increases profits. Third, installers and salesman are shown how to promote and create new markets using the latest materials on the market.

More information will be available when the MCS warranty program is finalized in the coming months.
