Workshop #1 at Sign Warehouse completed
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.
Mutoh/Avery Workshop completed
I just got done teaching Mutoh's School of Wrap workshop for beginner/intermediate students at Avery headquarters in Painesville, OH. It was a very good class of students and the training facility was first rate. I wish all my workshops were at Avery. Everyone in the class was really eager to learn and put their head down for 2 full days. We worked with Avery's new 1005 Supercast film with the 1.3mm overlam. After learning my UGIS system on day one, they wrapped a Ford Explorer on day 2. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they wrapped the car because all of them were brand new to installing. Very impressive. The graphics really popped due to the high quality print by a Mutoh Valuejet and that the new supercast film prints really, really well. A nice bonus for the workshop is that Crystal Baus from Mutoh came by to answer any questions about Mutoh printers and Todd LaBrie, owner of Carwraps, was present to answer any design questions. Tomorrow is the advanced workshop and then I'm back to Amsterdam to be with my ladies.
Gettin’ ready for the first workshop of 2010
One week from today I fly out to Painesville, Oh to teach the first of 6 hands-on workshops for Mutoh and Avery-Dennison for 2010. This first workshop is at Avery-Dennison headquarters which I'm very excited about. The reason for this is that Avery has offered to give the participants (and myself) a full tour of their facility. I always love these behind the scenes tours and its a great chance to learn about how the material is made. For the workshops, both beginner/intermediate and the advanced, we will be using Avery's new 1005 Supercast film that was officially launched on March 1. I'm pleased to have Crystal Baus of Mutoh and Todd LaBrie of Carwraps at Avery for the workshop. They will be on hand to answer any questions about printers and the Carwraps Business Builder that comes with the purchase of Mutoh printers for 2010.
