SIGN SHOW VINYL/VINYL FILMS CONVEX Films and Laminates are an Optimal Choice for Sports Helmets and Recreation Products Q u a l i t y, d u ra b l e CONVEX materials, distributed by Gerber Technology, are designed to withstand serious impacts and harsh conditions while being flexible enough to conform to complex curves and create long-lasting graphics. Their specialty adhesives bond with LSE and HSE plastics like no other. New additions to the line include CONVEX® GearWrap™ (perfect for contact sports decals), CONVEX® High-Bond (for complex curves on low-energy surfaces like plastic and powder-coated paint for motor-sport graphics), CONVEX® Chrome (offering a brilliant mirror-like finish for both indoor and outdoor applications), CONVEX® Laminate (providing extra durability to graphics conforming to complex plastic shapes like helmets and lacrosse gear), and CONVEX® Pro-Shield (ideal for applications like motor-sport decals). These materials won’t fall off, ooze adhesive, or collect dirt around the edges; they also resist wrinkling on complex curves when laminated with CONVEX or Pro-Shield™ Laminate. CONVEX is designed for smooth cutting with any sprocket, roll-fed, or flatbed plotter. gerbertechnology.com

DIGITAL PRINTING EQUIPMENT/SUPPLIES Canon USA Offers High-quality Speed and Performance with Expanded imagePROGRAF Series Further showcasing its commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of print, Canon U.S.A., Inc., is excited to announce that they have added the imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 and imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 multifunction printer (MFP) Z36 to their imagePROGRAF line of large format printers. These new hybrid solutions feature high-speed printing, security features, and advanced media handling. Built with productivity in mind, the imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 series can produce a D-sized print in as fast as 14 seconds and up to 236 D-sized prints per hour. The integrated Top Output Stacker can stack up to 100 A0-size sheets face-down, providing an added measure of confidentiality. The product’s advanced air flow system can also help reduce paper jams while keeping prints neatly in place, and its integrated, compact design can help save office space (allowing printed materials to be easily retrieved from the front of the printer). The product’s Roll Paper Indicator displays four different media levels with LED lights to notify users if paper is running low. As an added convenience, users can load a second roll while the first roll is still printing through its Hot Swap feature—a Canon first. The imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 is also available as a powerful Scan-to-Copy/File system that allows the user to scan and print at the same time. Providing further efficiency and productivity, the imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 MFP version also includes the new Z36 scanner, developed by Global Scanning for Canon, as well as an updated system controller with a new intuitive interface. usa.canon.com
