With so many excellent examples of wide-format print work, we could easily fill an entire issue of SignLink with images of projects from all over the world. Be it striking wall and floor graphics in local shopping centres or gigantic building wraps covering a skyscraper, there is plenty to celebrate in this vibrant and innovative sector. However, we have managed to resist the temptation and keep the tribute to just a few pages of this issue. Here, we cast our minds back over the past year and pick out some of the most memorable projects that adorned the pages of SignLink and pay tribute to the companies that put in so much hard work to make these applications a success. Setting a Trend First up, we have Watford-based large-format print and specialist fabrication company Stylographics, which used Print Floor from Soyang Europe to produce a striking retail window display for global fashion brand Marc Jacobs at one of its UK stores. Stylographics was tasked with creating an eye-catching display that would draw in passers-by as they walked past the shop. Working with Marc Jacobs, Stylographics came up with a bold, black and white design, with this being wrapped around the entire window frame at the front of the shop. The company printed the design onto the Print Floor PVC flooring material from Soyang Europe using its Durst P10 250HS UV inkjet printer. “Having used Print Floor from Soyang Europe for a number of years and on a whole range of projects, we knew straight away that this application would require the same solution,” says Siobhan Storey, marketing manager, at Stylographics, adding: “What stands out for us and what we like most about Print Floor is that it is a very hard-wearing and reliable product. We rely on it time and time again for all sorts of applications.” Keeping with the subject of interior décor – a growing market for those in the wide-format print market – large-format print and design business Print Station used Kavalan PVC-free banner to deck out a vegan restaurant in Windsor. One of the core challenges for this job was to identify a material that would fit in with the restaurant’s environmental ethos. Rajan Chonkaria, director at Print Station, spoke with the team at CMYUK and quickly singled out Kavalan as the best solution for the project.
