Rock 'n' roll graphics at SXSW

BPGraphics had the H-P Mobile Park in Austin covered during SXSW last week. The stage was surrounded by mesh banners in a bold retro print. And during down time, printed pillows and blankets helped everyone relax and soak up the cool vibe. Check out the photos:

Light Rail is HOT in Phoenix

Light rail in Phoenix draws attention, with or without graphics. But there is an extra buzz whenever a new wrap appears. We're proud to be a leading producer and installer of light rail graphics for the Phoenix market.

Wraps are high impact, but the production process should be low key. Our in-house design team knows the do's and don'ts of light rail wrap design, and will work closely with you to ensure a flawless finished product. And we'll work around your installation schedule - day or night. The light rail market is hot, but we'll make sure you don't get burned.

"BPGraphics has gone above and beyond to make sure our wrap for Cox Business looks perfect. Their design help, technical expertise and quick turnaround made the project run smoothly. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Because of their experience and professionalism, we also turn to BPGraphics for bulletins and transits in Phoenix and other markets."

Capture Photographic Quality with HP Scitex LX600

You'll do a double-take with graphics printed on the new HP Scitex LX600. We recently installed our second LX600 and customers are delighted by the results. It's an excellent choice for adhesive vinyl, outdoor frontlit scrim banner, mesh banner, premium backlit film, paper, artist canvas and backlit scrim banner.

Here are some of the highlights:
Near-photographic print quality up to 104" wide.
Print text as small as 4 point with 1200 dpi resolution.
Eco-friendly without added expense, using water-based latex ink that emits extremely low VOCs and creates no hazardous waste.
Produces odorless prints for indoor areas.
Superior color matching using state-of-the-art color calibration through an embedded spectrophotometer (which automatically scans a printer-generated color target, measures its properties, then makes and records any corrections).

A Grand Slam at the MLB All-Star Game

What do you do when Major League Baseball calls and asks for graphics to transform Angel Stadium during the 2010 MLB All-Star Game and events? You gather your pre-press, printing, shipping and installation crews to put it all together. After months of collaboration, BPGraphics was on-site at Angel Stadium for a week leading up to the All-Star Game, working closely with MLB and Angels staff to pull off a graphics program that required unique installations for each of the events. Over 260 graphics covering more than 20,000 square feet were produced. We printed a wide range of graphics from 2'x4' signs in front of the dugouts used during the Legends & Celebrity Softball Game and Home Run Derby, to a 53' star for the "All Stars Among Us" pre-game ceremony. "When our customer hits a home run, so do we," says BPGraphics president, Curt Carpenter. "Each employee who touched this project, and there were many, added the skill and dedication necessary to make it a success."

BPGraphics PVC Recycling Program

BPGraphics is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and doing our part to improve the environment and reduce the waste associated with our industry. To accomplish that goal we have implemented the Bulletin Recycling Program, to significantly reduce, recycle and reuse the materials used in our production processes.

BPGraphics is unique among large format printing companies in that we offer this service to our clients. Through a partnership with our PVC vinyl vendor, Cooley, we have been able to implement these programs. Our service will allow you to chose what vinyl campaign you would like to recycle and we will handle the rest. We’re excited about this program and hope that our customers are as well.
