Moment of Creation: Sacramento Revitalizes K Street Earlier this year, three Sacramento venues opened, hoping to lure residents to K Street. District 30, Pizza Rock and the Dive Bar offer drinks, dancing and Italian-style pizza with a flair. At Pizza Rock, worldclass acrobatic pizza throwers entertain guests. The restaurant is known for hand-tossed pies and unusual décor, including a mural of Michelangelo’s “Moment of Creation,” which Pacific Neon Co. (Sacramento) provided, along with signage for all three businesses. The Pizza Rock sign features exposed neon and five layers of CAM-cut aluminum flames overlaid with tattoo-art filigree. Pacific Neon designed and fabricated the signs based on architectural renderings, using a steeltube framework mounted to the building’s façade to support the aluminum flames in a three-element overlay. Channel letters overlaid on the filigree are filled with exposed neon. Because K Street is pedestrian-only, most patrons will see the sign peripherally; perforated aluminum panels attached to each end of the frame structure conceal it.

Letters Theresa, I first wanted to say that your article (see ST, August 2011, page 14) is very informative and hits right at home for me in our shop. People just don’t understand about the quality of images and the end result on their sign! I wanted to get some more information about the Brands of the World segment because when I go to their website and attempt to download a graphic, it specifically says that the images are not for commercial use. Did you know this upon writing your article? Thanks for your assistance, – Mallory Marshall High Country Signs Boone, NC 8 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

Mallory, Thank you for your email. Yes, I do know that Brands of the World has legal copy saying the logos are not intended for commercial use. The intent is that you would find a vector logo from their site for a jpeg logo that you already have the rights to use. It’s amazing how often this happens. Once, I had a Sears district manager hire me to design a store sales banner. It was faster for me to download the Sears logo from Brands of the World than it was for him to find the right person in the corporate office to ask for it. I am not an attorney, but it is my understanding they are putting the burden of rights protection on the user, not themselves. If you or your client have the rights to use a specific company logo, then Brands of the World is a great resource for finding the logo in a vector format. I hope this helps. – Theresa Jackson

Gum Art in the Likeliest Place

Photos by Salim Fadhley

Any pedestrian knows the familiar scourge of discarded gum spat carelessly onto sidewalks, pinned beneath orphaned chairs, and strewn anywhere a shoe may step. Distressed by litter-ridden streets and disconnected communities, Ben Wilson began to transform used chewing gum into art. Painting gum stuck on sidewalks was his way of connecting; his tiny works often celebrate people and events in nearby communities. Near one post office, he drew a tiger to celebrate a Sri Lankan postal worker. To create the paintings, Wilson heats gum with a blow torch, covers it with several layers of enamel, then paints it with acrylics, spending up to three days on each painting. He has created more than 10,000 paintings on sidewalks in the U.S., England (Wilson is a Cambridge native), Germany, Ireland, Finland and France.

Four Tips for Better Social Media If your company-sponsored social media leaves a lot to be desired, check out these four examples of standout content that engage without annoying.

3 CONNECT FOR A CAUSE Linking itself to a well-known nonprofit helps Fastsigns (Glendale, WI) brand itself as a company that gives back. Rebranding its logo to include a signature pink ribbon raises visibility, while a promised donation incentivizes following.

1 SHARE LOCAL NEWS Instead of boring, self-serving posts, Signplicity (Traverse City, MI) interweaves local-interest items with its projects, keeping Facebook fans informed without that annoying “look at us!” vibe.

2 USE LINKS, @ MENTIONS AND HASHTAGS OFTEN This tweet from Harbinger Sign (Jacksonville, FL) has all the elements of follower-building: a link to “wow” content (in this case, a sign with mile-high letters), a hat-tip to another user (who may return the favor) and hashtags (#signage should cover it for most, or try #LED, #design, #digitalsignage and #wideformat).

10 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

4 WATCH FOR BRAND MENTIONS – THEN ENGAGE Unsolicited, positive mentions of your brand are social-media gold. Here, Roland DGA (Irvine, CA) engages @awthentikwraps, who mentioned watching a Roland printer at work from home via shop security cameras. Note Roland’s use of multiple Twitter administrators, denoted by initials after each tweet (e.g. this tweet’s signature: “^DS”). WHAT ABOUT GOOGLE+? Our recommendation: Wait and see whether Google has truly unleashed tomorrow’s social-media platform, or if the company’s sketchy privacy policy and draconian rule enforcement will drive away Google-weary users.

The following letters address changes made to the Signweb forums after a recent overgrowth of spam. Our IT staff has implemented new ways of monitoring and controlling this unwanted content, which have limited spam considerably. For more information, see signweb.com/forum/general-message-board/spam-staff. I tried three times to post a reply to your staff members’ recent thread “Spam.” Even after refreshing the page four times until I got a somewhat legible code, the CAPTCHA system wouldn’t accept it. The code is too difficult to read and apparently too difficult to get right. I used to post quite a bit, and I’m not one to give up easily, but I am to the point where it just isn’t worth the aggravation and frustration. I can’t be the only one who feels this way as I’ve noticed the number of posts has declined the past several weeks, which indicates other “regulars” are as fed-up as I am. Other forums do not have these problems, and they do not use CAPTCHA. Good luck with getting the Spam issues and CAPTCHA problems worked out, but until things improve considerably I don’t think I will be trying to post anything. –Mark Snyder SVP Neon Equipment Columbia, SC

Skewed Hues Blues? X-Rite’s ColorChecker Passport helps get the colors right.

IWorld’s ’m looking at the cover of Cycle September magazine. The highlighted Mule XR1660 streettracker – a sweet, hand-built, 130-HP Harley-powered, motorcycle – isn’t, probably, as classy looking in real life because the magazine’s well-lit, well-executed, studio-shot photo has been nicely enhanced and sharpened with Adobe® Photoshop® software, but not to an effect-ruining extent. The result is similar to the Photoshop enrichments on Victoria’s Secret posters – everything looks way better than it really is. Question: Can a signshop that wants to photograph and flaunt its newest sign creation create similar effects? You bet. However, the first secret is to get the light, composition and exposure correct when you take the shot. Photoshop happens later. The second necessary step – “white balance” – may be beyond your immediate control. White balance affects all of a photograph’s

colors, meaning, the in-camera white balance must be correct, or all the photo’s hues will be off center. Skewed. White balance “White balance,” a basic, photography/ video color-balance adjustment, allows digital cameras to interpret a scene’s color somewhat accurately. Color-temperature changes affect your camera sensor’s interpretation of light and, therefore, the final image. A red-painted sign cabinet, shot with a digital camera at sunset (3,000º K) and without in-camera, color-balance adjustments, may appear as the color orange. It’s because we humans reflexively adjust off-hue colors back to normal. A camera doesn’t. Its sensors record incoming light as numbers, and numbers don’t lie. Nonetheless, viewers expect a photograph’s white to be white, which means red must also be red; unless you’re purposely attempting

to create unusual lighting effects. A correct white-balance setting leads other colors into alignment, which leads to bright and beautiful sign photos. Ambient light correction X-Rite’s ColorChecker Passport, a handheld, at-the-camera, colormanagement device, works with Photoshop or Lightroom® to help get the color right, regardless of the ambient light. Applying Passport’s white-balance target, first, to set the correct white balance for each shooting location, fixes the problem. (You first photograph X-Rite’s whitebalance chart to lock-down your camera’s setting.) Refer to your camera handbook to learn its particular custom-whitebalance process. This procedure alone (it’s easy) will improve your photographs. Passport, via an easy-to-use selection tool, also allows you to amend the photograph’s white

The ONYX SmartApps Sign&Banner Plug-in for Adobe Illustrator By Theresa Jackson The SmartApps Sign&Banner plug-in, coupled with Adobe® Illustrator®, provides an uncomplicated file setup for large-format signs and banners. It’s intuitive and easy to use, especially for anyone experienced with Illustrator. The plug-in has three basic features: Bleeds and Marks, Grommets and Design to Scale. You control all three within the same window. Bleeds and Marks The Bleeds and Marks feature offers four bleed choices: none, colored, mirrored and duplicate; for custom flexibility, you can separately size each bleed edge. Sign&Banner automatically add bleeds by increasing the artboard size to accommodate the bleed. All you do is pick the bleed settings, and it automatically increases the artboard size to accommodate your choice. Additionally, the plug-in ignores Illustrator’s bleed settings. The selections: •B leed Type None increases the artboard size 14 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

according to the bleed dimensions. •B leed Type Color fills the added bleed area with a chosen color. You can pick the bleed color from the Color Wheel or the Document Swatch library. •B leed Type Mirrored (non-raster) mirrors the edge art and fills the bleed area. With the default “Rasterize Bleed” box de-selected, Mirror Bleed copies the appropriate bleed area and adds it to the image, to create eight separate layers. (This function works extremely quickly and effectively, but could produce a very large file if your design includes a full-size, bitmap-image background.) •B leed Type Mirrored (raster) is a “Rasterize Bleed” alternative that creates cropped, embedded images for each bleed edge. This choice works the same on bitmap or vector graphics. •B leed Type Duplicate creates a one-pixel, embedded image for each edge, and then stretches the image to fill the bleed area. It works the same for vector and Continued on p.16

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE balance in Photoshop and Lightroom, and therefore bring any deviant white back into balance. Additionally, Passport allows you to quickly create your preferred (and color-corrected) profile for each shooting series and then apply it to numerous images by way of the software’s “Sync” tool. (You place the chart within your first photo, to use as a software reference later.) Like G7, but not X-Rite’s Passport process is comparable (and, of course, compatible with) IDEAlliance’s G7 print process, which balances gray tones to neutral (no pink or blue hues). G7 is an ICC-based, color target that applies LAB values, curves and dot-gain adjustments to large-format, digital

printing processes to allow printmakers to match colors in various collateral materials, regardless of the print machine or media. In the G7 process, gray is the key hue; in photography, at the camera level, white becomes key – even if there’s no white in the scene. Five easy pieces The ColorChecker Passport device is a 24-color (chip) target in a cargopocket-sized, hard-plastic case. It comprises five items: creative enhancement (for color balance refinement), classic and white-balance targets, plus camera calibration software, and the protective case. In addition, Passport features Windows and Mac software for creating Adobe DNG profiles, and

bitmap backgrounds. The resulting bleed is impressive and runs extremely fast. •M arks selections are located within the plug-in window’s bleed section. You may add Fold, Trim and Corner marks independently. Unlike traditional offset printing marks, which usually appear outside the artwork, these Marks position inside the artwork’s printable zone. The plug-in produces dashed-line Marks on an Illustrator sub layer. Grommets Grommet placement, the Sign&Banner plug-in window’s second section, is fully customizable. You may locate Grommets by approximate spacing or by total count, and you can assign each edge independently. Another choice allows you to set the trim edge distance, or to place the grommets in the bleed area. Design-to-Scale Design-to-Scale controls the previous features, meaning, bleed, marks, grommets and the stroke-point size for marks – all relate to the scale factor. The settings range from 1-1 to 1-36. Design-to-scale eliminates the need for simple math and thus, saves time, money and mistakes. Other Notable ancillary features: •K eyboard: You can open the Sign&Banner plug-in with a keyboard shortcut. •M easurements: You may opt for the Illustrator default setting or select inches, cm, mm or points. • S ub layers: The plug-in produces a Sign&Banner/ Illustrator layer with bleed, marks and grommets sub layers •D ocument swatch library: The color picker for Marks 16 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

a Lightroom plug-in. The Passport software works with Raw and JPEG files, but Raw is preferred. The raw deal A Raw file contains the camera sensor’s original, electronic/digital image information. It precedes most in-camera profile processes and allows you to make numerous changes via the appropriate photographic software. X-Rite says, “Shooting Raw provides greater flexibility to coloradjust images based on how a particular camera captures color.” A calibrated, Raw workflow minimizes color differences between cameras and lenses, adapts for mixed light and makes it possible to color match across different photographs. n

and Grommets provides access to the document swatch library. • I llustrator Actions: The plug-in settings are recordable with Illustrator Actions, which allows you to save and automate all prep scenarios. Room to improve Sign&Banner automatically references the Illustrator document’s artboard size, which works perfectly for a design built on an Illustrator artboard that’s in proportion, and created at a known scale factor to the final, finished size. I suggest a future version allow an operator to set the artboard (trim size) along with the scale factor. The Color Bleed default color is white, which, at first glance, appears to produce the same result as selecting the None bleed option. I’d rather see the default color set as gray. I’d also like to see the color picker allow you to select a color directly from the art. The grommets have five, individual, ungrouped shapes. In the rare situation where you might want to move or change the grommet’s color, it would be nice to have a grouped shape. Conclusion If you currently prepare files in Illustrator, or daily prepare multiple Illustrator files, the SmartApps Sign&Banner plug-in will save you time and eliminate prep mistakes. Finally, in use, I recommend recording Illustrator actions for all of your sign and banner setups.

“Wraps allow us to be more creative; we can change the look of the car for one race, then return to the original paint scheme.”

By Steve Aust

Racing Form, Eh? Andretti Autosports creates a custom wrap for Canadian IndyCar races.

C asual sports fans may only think about the IZOD IndyCar Series when the race runs every Memorial Day weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the track that gave the open-wheel, auto-racing circuit, founded in 1996 as the Indy Racing League, its name. But, for those who bleed ethanol and devote race weekends to cheering on their favorite driver, it’s as vital as breathing. Andretti Autosport, which manages four drivers in the IZOD IndyCar Series, needed a temporary graphic changeover for Marco Andretti’s No. 26 car in anticipation of the Streets of Toronto and Edmonton City Center Airport races, which took place July 10 and 24, respectively. Venom Energy Drink, his normal brand sponsor, isn’t sold in Canada. So, its parent company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, opted for a custom wrap that identifies the Dr Pepper brand. Mike McClelland, Andretti Autosport’s creative director, reviewed marketing materials used to promote Dr Pepper north of the border and incorporated them into the wrap’s design scheme using Adobe® Illustrator® software. McClelland credits Jason Harrington, Andretti Autosport’s resident wrap

installer, with managing the two wraps (the primary and backup car). A spare set of wraps and decals was also sent to each location. McClelland said it was the first season of the team producing wraps in-house after having outsourced them for several years. Although painted vehicles are still more common on the IZOD IndyCar circuit than in NASCAR, McClelland said integrating product images, gradients and specific PMS colors made wrapping the car a clear preference. “Wraps allow us to be more creative; we can change the look of

Andretti Autosport’s in-house production team created wraps for July Izod IndyCar Series races in Canada. Because Venom energy drink, the regular brand sponsor, isn’t sold there, the brand’s parent company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, chose to promote one of its namesake products. Andretti Autosport produced the wrap on an HP L25500 latex-ink printer with Oracal’s Orajet 3551RA media. 18 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

the car for one race, then return to the original paint scheme,” he said. For irregular shapes, such as the side of an IndyCar’s nose, Harrington likes to cut away a lot of the excess vinyl to eliminate the overhang. Also, he makes relief cuts to minimize stretching, and short bursts of heat with a propane torch during application help the film meld to the complex surface.” Andretti Autosport’s production facility printed the wrap on an HP DesignJet L25500 latex-ink printer with Oracal’s Orajet 3551RA highperformance, calendered media with RapidAir® air-release technology. Onyx Graphics’ ProductionHouse 10 RIP helped Andretti Autosport proof the finished product. To output smaller decals, Andretti uses a Gerber EDGE 2® thermal-transfer printer or an enVision 375 cutting plotter. The Dallara chassis, a standard spec for all IndyCars, contains contours that require wrapping in sections; McClelland said the engine cover behind the driver’s head presents the greatest challenge. He developed basic templates to guide the wraps’ design. He said Andretti Autosport’s print shop typically updates the Venom Energy car 6-9 times a year during the IndyCar circuit’s 17-race season.

The Faces of War The Civil War’s toll (or, as its known in certain parts, The War Between the States) on the U.S. was incalculable. In addition to the more than 600,000 soldiers and bystanders killed, countless more came back wounded or emotionally scarred (not much treatment was offered in the days

before post-traumatic stress disorder was an accepted diagnosis), and the fissures between North and South remained through the Jim Crow era. This year’s 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s onset has been widely observed through documentaries and exhibits – and in ST’s June issue (see page 76). The Pennsylvania Heritage

Craftsmen Industries (St. Charles, MO) decorated a trailer inside and out for the Pennsylvania Heritage Society and its project partners.

Society and the PA Civil War 150 Committee commissioned the fabrication of a trailer that highlights Pennsylvania’s home-front contributions during the Civil War. Remer & Talbott, an exhibit-design firm working on behalf of the Society and Metcalfe Architecture & Design, hired Craftsmen Industries (St. Charles, MO) to fabricate an exterior wall wrap for the trailer and identification graphics for its interior exhibits. Using Metcalfe’s furnished graphics, Craftsmen fabricated the 3,520-sq.-ft. trailer wrap using 3M’s Controltac with Comply air-release technology, which it printed on an EFI-VUTEk 2360 solvent-ink printer using ColorBurst’s 7.6 RIP. Installers wrapped the irregularly shaped trailer with approximately 50 panels bled together with a ½-in.-overlap. 3M’s 8519 luster-finish overlaminate protected the images during the 53-ft.-long trailer’s summer-long tour of all Pennsylvania’s counties. To produce the more than 400 sq. ft. of interior graphics, Craftsmen applied MACtac calendered film to ¼-in.-thick, black Komatex® PVC panels per Metcalfe’s installation specs. They printed the graphics on a Seiko ColorPainter 64S with solvent inks, and protected them with Seal’s JetGuard UV topcoat applied via a Seal Ultra 62 wide-format laminator.

Shine On, Vespas When people think of a Vespa (discounting the large swath of the population unfamiliar with the Italian-made, motorized scooters), they probably envision a lean environmentalist desirous of its 70to 80-mpg fuel efficiency, or a cashstrapped college student seeking inexpensive transportation around campus. In either case, Edmonton – situated in northern Alberta with an average high temperature in the low 70s (F) during summer – probably isn’t considered an ideal locale for Vespa usage. So, imagine the heads turned when CJRY Shine 105.9 FM, an Edmonton contemporary Christian and pop-music station, ordered two wrapped Vespas as a key advertising component for its 105 Days of Summer event. Throughout the May 31-September 17 promotion, listeners

were instructed to pick up Shine keychains at various Edmonton locations and listen for the chance to call in for or instantly win prizes (one being a pair of his-and-hers Vespas).

Colin Reid, proprietor of an Edmonton, AB, Canada Sign*A*Rama, wrapped two Vespa scooters for a radio-station promotion. They took approximately a full day apiece because of the Vespas’ complex contours and cut-off points. They were printed on 3M Controltac air-release media on a Roland DGA SolJet Pro III XC-540 printer with eco-solvent inks. 22 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

CJRY hired Edmonton’s Sign*A*Rama to produce the wraps. Colin Reid, who’s owned the franchise for seven of its nine years and produces an array of non-electric signage, which includes wraps, was previously unfamiliar with Vespas. “We’re a relatively small city of approximately one million, and we have a light-rail system and a very cold climate,” Reid said. “So, we don’t see lot of Vespas here. I’d only previously seen them in Larry Crowne, the movie where Tom Hanks’ character rides one. We’ve had a longstanding relationship with the station and were happy to help with the promotion.” In preparation, the shop removed the footrests, tail lights and vents. Yet challenges remained: “Each wrap took about a full day, which is a long time considering the wraps’ small size. We printed 50% more material than we actually used to account for the many curves and cut-off points. There’s not much surface area, so it was a challenge to make the text and graphics seamlessly match.” The shop fabricated the wraps using 3M™’s Controltac™ with Comply™ v3 air-release technology, which it printed on a Roland DGA SolJet Pro III XC-540 printer using Eco-Sol Max eco-solvent inks.

Garden Gateway Canby, OR, nicknamed the “Garden Spot,” enjoys fertile soil that has spawned a heavy concentration of tree farms and plant nurseries. However, the city’s aging, pedestrian, plywood gateway signs and HDU monument signs wouldn’t persuade would-be residents or entrepreneurs to grow roots in the rustic town – roughly 20 miles from Portland – of approximately 15,000 inhabitants. To enhance its image, Canby officials hired Security Signs (Portland) to fabricate a stately sign program with two gateway signs and five directional signs within the city limits that point the way downtown.

A Towering Achievement Art Display Co. illuminates a Baltimore mixed-use project.

2 8 Walker Assoc., the developers of McHenry Row, a mixed-use project located near Ft. McHenry in Baltimore, wanted to transform the property’s imposing water tower into a conspicuous landmark that would make the development a destination – much as Francis Scott Key celebrated the bravery of Baltimore’s defenders when he penned The Star Spangled Banner. Firm representatives Mark Sapperstein and Abe Rosenthal wanted us to provide a comprehensive sign plan for the property. Besides creating environmental graphics for the 80-plus-year-old water tower, the client tasked us to create a comprehensive sign plan that included two, main-ID pylons; wayfinding, garage and directional markers; retail sign specs and pedestrian directories. The total program encompassed 550 sq. ft. The tower signage budget totaled $175,000; the tally for the remaining onsite

exciting opportunity for a strong visual statement. Merrick Towle Communications (Beltsville, MD) created the McHenry Row logo. We’ve worked with Merrick Towle for approximately 20 years, and they’ve always been very reliable collaborators. After having submitted and revised designs during several meetings, the client presented the comprehensive sign plan to Baltimore’s zoning authority, which enthusiastically endorsed the plan. Also, they complimented 28 Walker Assoc. for presenting the most detailed sign program they’d ever reviewed for a mixed-use project. However, when the economic downturn hit, the project was put on hold for a year and a half. Given the installation and maintenance challenges such a tall structure would create, we immediately recommended using LEDs to illuminate the tower’s logo and letters, as well as its supporting legs and tower.

To secure the letters, stripes and stars to the tower, Art Display bolted them to 2 x 2-in., 0.125-in.-thick aluminum square tubing that bends around the drum’s radius. After having considered bringing cranes onsite to install the components, Art Display opted instead to use scaffolding. An electronic winch with a 500-lb. lifting capacity elevated components.

Bright lights, big city The channel letters measure 4 ft. tall and 5 in. deep; the stars span 8 ft. tall, and the stars and stripes cover 3 ft. 3.75 in. x 12 ft. 8 in. We fabricated the signs using 0.040-in. aluminum returns; we cut out the backs and letter faces on a MultiCam 3000 CNC router with an HMI 20 interface. We spot-welded the returns to the aluminum backs. To provide additional support for the letters’ backs, we also installed Laminators Inc.’s 0.25-in.-thick Alumalite™ aluminum-composite panels. To illuminate the letters, we

We MIG-welded the tubing to conform to the drum. For easier handling, we divided the letters into three sections. To provide accent lighting, we installed one amber Sloan LED stripe at the drum’s apex, and two more on the balcony’s handrails. We also secured two lines of red Sloan LED striping to the 2 x 2-in. square tubing, painted red, to the tower’s steel, H-beam legs. To bolster the illumination, we decorated the tubing with red Matthews acrylicpolyurethane paint. To secure the stripes to the legs, we affixed 1.25in.-sq., steel C-clamps with selftapping bolts and locknuts. Most importantly, we ganged the power

This decision improved our onsite efficiency, and the scaffold structure itself was a thing of beauty. To elevate the parts, the scaffolding company provided an electronic winch with a 500-lb. lifting capacity. The job required one and a half weeks for the electrician to run power to the legs and drum, and an additional two weeks to install. Vision made real The project required tremendous patience. During our initial meeting, the client wanted Art Display to create an animated design for the tower. I told him building codes wouldn’t allow animation; he called his attorney for confirmation.

Ultimately, none of our revisions came close to their budgetary scope, and they returned to our original idea. Given the green light, our team – led by Doug Kilsheimer, president; Mohamad Natour, general manager; James Scanlon, installation foreman; and lead designer Diane Cheshmedjiev – executed the illumination of this 80-year-old structure. When the tower was lit, the clients were thrilled with the project’s positive buzz. The tower can be seen from I-95, which stretches from Maine to Florida as one of the busiest U.S. highways. While McHenry Row’s retail and residential phases are still under construction, 28 Walker Assoc.’s wish to create an early, visual impression was realized in dramatic fashion. With stars and stripes once again shining over Baltimore’s harbor, even Francis Scott Key might have taken note. n

More About Art Display Co. Gunther Kilsheimer founded Art Display Co. in 1947 with the mission of “bringing our clients into a creative process that results not just in a sign, but a sign of distinction.” Gunther’s son, Douglas, now runs the company. Goldberg said, “Like any successful sign company, someone has to put the time [as in unbillable hours] into a job to serve our customers and assure the job is done right. So many members of our team – general manager Mohamad Natour, installation foreman James Scanlon, design department director Diana Cheshmedjiev and me, to name just a few – devote the talent, experience and attention to detail needed to have kept our business strong for 64 years.

Economic challenges require hands-on action. Job Creation from Lighting Technology Advances and Advantages “The official number of unemployed excludes certain jobless groups, such as those marginally attached to the workforce and discouraged workers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has published six, monthly, alternative measures of labor underutilization for the United States as a whole, to account for these groups since the 1990s. These six measures, known as U-1 through U-6, are based on data from the CPS household survey and are shown in BLS tables.” – The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Ttheheglobe U.S. has conspicuously led in technology, education

and human rights over the last century, but, presently, the country is enormously challenged by unruly economic and market conditions that adversely affect the national economy in terms of job creation, energy, innovation and infrastructure reconstruction. This increasingly unpredictable economy has mostly impaired small businesses and citizens. The government and private sectors thus far have done little about the fundamental challenges, that, if surmounted, could pull the nation back together. Politics aside, these challenges require real solutions, ones that only evolve from understanding the nations’ current weaknesses in manufacturing, education and training – and the hands-on action needed to compile the man- and machine-power to close these gaps. Such action, by design, could certainly create prosperity. However, because this phenomenon is too broad to cover in these pages, I’ll focus on lighting technologies, LEDs in particular, in the framework of the signage and display industries. 38 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

Creating jobs Most Americans see job creation at the forefront of all concerns. While unemployment has mostly remained at an implausible 9% rate over the last three years, this figure fails to tell the real story. The current U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a 9.3% unemployment rate, which is the “U3” track definition that only identifies the unemployed as “…those currently jobless, and have been actively looking for work only in the past four weeks, and are currently available for work.” This BLS track definition excludes the “discouraged” unemployed who are barely looking for work; the underemployed who have accepted part-time or lower-pay, full-time employment because better jobs aren’t available; or the employed who endure time, pay or benefit reductions. “U6,” another BLS report, defines the long-term unemployed as those who have not looked for work in the prior year. Interestingly, BLS publishes the U6 statistic in its Table A-15, titled “Alternative measures of labor underutilization.” The difference between U3 and U6 reports is stunning – the February 2011 A-15 table reported U3 at 8.9% while U6 was 16.5%! Measure U3 is based on the same definition of unemployment used to calculate the official unemployment rate – the one we see in news reports. Economist John Williams, author of the “Shadow Government Statistics” website, says the actual U.S. unemployment rate may reach even higher, possibly 22.1%, in February, if the underemployed and the part-timers who are looking for full-time jobs are added to the U6 statistics.

GDP So, if our gross domestic product (GDP) is increasing from the 2007 level, albeit at a small rate, why do we have far fewer jobs today than we did in 2007? How do we get back the 15 million jobs we lost in the 2008-2009 recession, plus more if we include population growth? Perhaps it’s time to reassess the GDP elements, as defined in the expenditure method: GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports), or GDP = C + I + G + (eX – i). This GDP definition is meaningful if, primarily, jobs and real production finance the equation’s five elements. However, in recent years, unsustainable debts have financed all of these elements, and this has caused more debts (and long-term deficits) for trade, consumers, government and many corporations. Such a formula poses a real peril for the U.S. Because, as borrowing became ubiquitous for the government, consumers and businesses, it sidelined manpower and even machine-power from our industries – the real engines of GDP. It allured citizens to think one can, endlessly, make more money by borrowing – be it in real estate, stock market or other investments. Alarms The dire picture of this recent joblessness – and debt – sounds an alarm to bring back manpower, manufacturing, innovation, effective government and fair playing fields – so that Americans get what any adult citizen really needs: jobs. Ironically, the US excelled at this until recently. We led in education, discoveries and high-tech development that, indeed, skyrocketed our country’s man and machine power.

“This increasingly unpredictable economy has mostly impaired small businesses and citizens.” One such high-tech industry was and continues to be semiconductors. Semiconductor technologies revolutionized the communication, computing and consumer-gadget industries and now hold the keys to revolutionize the lighting industry. But revolution is often a brutal and gut-wrenching process that isn’t appreciated until it’s over. Additionally, during such processes, many other competing ideas and implementations cause further interruptions – until a significant, critical mass takes the lead and its backers, seeing the summit, pack enormous, sacrificial energy into the endeavor. While general-lighting LEDs will

40 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

likely pass into such a future process (which could create many decent jobs), great opportunities exist even now for LEDs in the lighting, display and signage industries. The SSL platform Despite the present, large market that LED lamps enjoy, future growth opportunities could be far greater, but such sustainable growth can only be realized if the supply chain is balanced, optimized and made robust -- and if regulations and label details do a fair job in bringing lamps and luminaires in the market. It’s not about ordering cheap, packaged (and not fully tested) LEDs

from overseas suppliers and placing them into fixtures and signs to, later, stand alongside your competitors and tout that you’re offering “energyefficient” products. It’s about installing high-performance LED lamps designed with rigorous scientific and engineering tools and an understanding of physics. To succeed, solid-state lighting (SSL) developers must have accurate mathematical models, experimental verification, robust casings and automation-based, slim-line chip and package manufacturing. The sustainable, semiconductorlighting industry jobs for America relate to these processes. Primarily, the country needs well-trained R&D and manufacturing engineers and technicians to build, service and maintain competitively priced, SSL industries.

LED UPDATE Such expensive platforms become long-term investments that, in time, will produce greener, cost-saving products that help sustain our ecosystem. Fabless In the ’90’s, such fashionable companies as Nvidia, Broadcom and Xilinx created fabless enterprises.

(“Fabless” defines semiconductor firms that outsource manufacturing to countries with lower labor costs.) In 2009, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), behind Qualcomm, became the second-largest, fabless, semiconductor company.

semiconductor industry should not entirely favor fabless resourcing, although, competitively, some such manufacturing is necessary. More importantly, now, is that our government, venture capitalists and large companies invest in SSL design and manufacturing R&D. With enough support, America can create attractive jobs in the SSL industries. Time to escalate Although the U.S. doesn’t dominate worldwide LED chip production, it currently retains a strong R&D base, plus intellectual properties and other crucial knowledge. Thus, it’s time for American companies to escalate innovation and rebuild leadership in the SSL infrastructure and supply chain. To fabricate high-quality, highyield LED chips requires continuous modernization of equipment, material, processing and fabrication phases. The industry also needs better optics (so that LED lamps can distribute light over the desired space) schemes with simultaneous improvements in heat management, color-rendering-index (CRI) optimization, efficacy and correlated color temperature (CCT) to outperform incumbents in light quality and energy efficiency. Ideally, new-styled replacement LED lamps should provide at least 50% or higher energy savings, without sacrificing light quality or substantially increasing the price. However, an innovation company shouldn’t lose sight of the market and achievable gains. Everyone needs light. The job-creation aspect will evolve by actively recognizing our strengths, the gaps and the competitive landscapes, and then formulating plans to invest, educate, train and build companies – and infrastructure – to sustain our economy. Most importantly, it’s time to redirect our wishes to let our money work for us, and, instead, let us work for our money. n To read related articles on this subject, visit www.signweb.com/EDS and www.signweb.com/lighting.

The Mimaki JV34-260 No surprise – there’s more to it than meets the eye. Key Information Mimaki USA 150 Satellite Blvd NE, Ste. A Suwanee, GA 30024 (888) 530-4021

M imaki, a very technology-active company, innovates in many different ways for many different markets. Do you need a solvent printer? Mimaki has one. A flatbed, UV-cure printer? You bet. Want to print on ballpoint pens and other novelties? Mimaki has that too. And, now, you can choose from two models of Mimaki’s JV34-260, a state-of-the-art and efficient production printer. Our first glance said it’s a roll-to-roll, four-color, grandformat printer; however, because it’s made by Mimaki, there’s more to it than meets the eye – no surprise. For example, the JV34-260 platform can be set up to run either solvent or dye-sublimation ink, and you decide which – solvent or dye-sub – at the time of purchase. (Mimaki says many vehicle-wrap installers prefer the vibrant colors and abrasion-resistance of its solvent-based [SS21] inks, which, however, require a ventilation system.) The JV34-260 predecessor was Mimaki’s JV33-260, which features a single, eight-channel printhead that has two, configurable, dual, four-or six-color systems. The new, CMYK x 4, JV34 dual-printhead staggered array improves both print quality and speed, Mimaki says. Additionally, the JV34 can currently

Company Profile: Mimaki develops and markets inkjet printers and cutting plotters for professional use. In its core, sign-graphics market, the company has created new market opportunities for its product buyers by developing high-speed, quality-image, inkjet printers, cutting machines and inks. Mimaki’s development model of striving for innovation and differentiation has contributed to it becoming a major leader in the sign, industrial-products and textile-printing industries. At a Glance: Mimaki’s JV34-260 is a 103-in.-wide, roll-to-roll, four-color, grand-format printer that can image either solvent or dye-sublimation ink (you decide which at the time of purchase). It features variable-dot technology that produces smooth transitions and a wide range of brilliant colors. Further, the CMYK printers feature a staggered, dual-printhead array that improves both print quality and speed; a drying system; and an automatic, mediatakeup tensioning system that allows 24/7 operation. Contact: Fran Gardino, business development manager (678) 730-0100, ext. 301 fgardino@mimakiusa.com. operate in a four- or six-color setup for dye-sub applications, and will soon support a six-color setup for solvent applications. Resolutions The JV34-260’s fastest print resolution mode is 540 x 720 dpi (four-pass, bi-directional). The standard is six-pass, bi-directional at 540 x 1,080 dpi, and the high-quality mode is eight-pass, bi-directional at 540 x 1,440 dpi. The standard, print-mode features apply to both the solvent and dye-sub machines. The printer’s variable-dot technology produces smooth transitions, realistic images and a wider range of shades.

Fig. 1: The optional bulk-ink system extends the printer’s ink capacity from 880ml per color to 4 liters per color. 44 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

Inks The printers feature Mimaki’s standard, uninterruptable, ink-supply system (UISS) that comprises eight, 440-ml ink cartridges (two per color if using a four-color setup) or nearly a liter of ink (880 ml) per color. An LED indicator lamp signals low-ink situations and, when notified, the printer will automatically switch to the second cartridge. Also, you can change color cartridges on the fly. If you plan long, unattended print runs, buy Mimaki’s

INTRODUCING THE

UVISTAR2 UviStar2 delivers a new benchmark for high-speed, high-quality UV roll printing of POP, banners and billboards. New Parallel Drop Size (PDS) and linear encoder technologies combine with real-time temperature controls to provide pinpoint placement of small (20pl) and large (40pl) drop sizes during the same pass, resulting in 6-color image quality printing using just four colors. Versatility improvements include a software upgrade that makes printing multiple rolls of different images easy while a simple, fast changeover turns the UViStar2 into a flatbed printer of rigid POP substrates.

media dryness prior to the take-up roll. The printer’s control panel (Fig. 4) allows you to manage specific, media-heater sets and other operational tasks. The JV34 solvent-printhead height adjustment can range from 2 to 3mm thick; the JV34 dye-sublimation system printhead can accommodate media up to 4mm thick.

Fig. 4: The easy-to-operate control panel features dedicated buttons for everyday functions.

optional, bulk-ink system (Fig. 1) that comprises four liters per color. The dye-sublimation, configuration option works with Mimaki’s Sb52 inks for transfer papers. This ink produces dense, durable and brilliant colors when sublimated to various, popular polyester fabrics and polyester-coated media. We studied both solvent- and dye-sublimation-based prints that were vibrant with crisp details and excellent, realistic transitions between shades. Media management The JV34’s Automatic Media Feed System accepts media rolls up to a 9.8-in. diameter and 104 in. wide on a 3-in.diameter core; the maximum media weight is 220 lbs. To ensure trouble-free, unattended printing, Mimaki incorporated tension controls on the input and take-up rolls (Fig. 2). A secondary, take-up system handles smaller media rolls up to 63.9 in. wide with a 7-in. diameter and a weight of 55 lbs., with a 2- or 3-in.-diameter media core. Further, the printer features a three-stage heater system that warms media at the pre-print platen, print and post-print stages (Fig. 3). Finally, the printer’s wide (platen-width) drying fan system ensures complete 46 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

Production data In high-quality mode, the JV34 prints 142 sq. ft./hr., which produces approximately 10 high-quality, 3 x 4-ft. prints per hour. The standard print mode prints at 230 sq. ft./hr., which produces 19, 3 x 4-ft. prints an hour, or slightly less than double the high-quality mode throughput. In high-speed mode, the JV34-260 produces more than 320 sq. ft./hr., or two, 8 x 20-ft. banners per hour. In this mode, you could produce 20, 8 x 20-ft. prints in slightly more than eight hours. RIPs If your shop presently owns a RIP, chances are it will support the JV34-260. However, Mimaki included the RasterLink Pro 5 RIP that comprises such standard features as hot folders, nesting, tiling and cropping. A Mimaki RLP RIP option features Mimaki’s Profile-Master II software that, with a standalone colorimeter, allows you to form custom print profiles. The RIP supports 16-bit images, which ensures smooth print/color transitions. Also, the JV34 features a USB 2 connection. Specifications The JV34-260 handles media up to 103.6 in. wide. Its overall dimensions are 143.7 in. wide x 51.3 in. deep x 56.1 in. high; it weighs 1,025 lbs. The printer requires 100-120VAC, 50/60Hz. The operating temperature range is 64 - 95º F with a humidity range of 35% 65% RH, non-condensing. Summary Once again, Mimaki has upped the game. The 24/7-use, high-quality, fast-print JV34-260 can be configured as either a solvent or a dye-sublimation printer – your choice. The inks are color, quality and strength powerful. Plus, the included software allows you to add a computer and go. n

SIGN MUSEUM NEWS

Tod Swormstedt is the president/founder of the American Sign Museum (Cincinnati).

By Tod Swormstedt

The Fab Fiberglass Figures of the ’50s New acquisitions transform the museum’s entrance into a garden of giant figures.

Tnewhehome outdoor area of the museum’s will likely feature the 3-D fiberglass “sculptures” that were so popular from the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. A past column (March 2010) featured our 20-ft.-tall genie, which has become something of a mascot as it now stands over the walkway atop two 12-ft. poles at the museum’s entrance. Two other additions – a 16-ft.-long, trailer-mounted, pink pig and the most recent acquisition, a 16-ft.-tall, 3-D bowling pin – now sit in the parking lot awaiting installation. “Kahnie,” as the pig was appropriately (and affectionately) named, was donated by Kahn’s, a Cincinnati meatpacking company now under the umbrella of Sara Lee foods. Kahnie had long been a favorite participant in Cincinnati events, and is most remembered for her many appearances in the annual Cincinnati Reds Opening Day parade. In keeping with current trends, Kahnie was replaced

by an inflatable counterpart whose flexibility promoted more practical transportation and set-up. Word has it that Kahnie is already adapting to her new home. She is being joined by “Pinhead,” a 16-ft.-tall fiberglass bowling pin that originally identified Greenbrook (NJ) Lanes. The acquisition began when Phil Smith, Jr. and his father, Phil, Sr. of Ace Sign Co. (Perth Amboy, NJ), saw me at last year’s USSC Sign World show in Atlantic City. They told me they’d had a huge bowling pin leaning up against their shop for at least 15 years and wanted to know if the museum was interested in it. With an enthusiastic “yes,” I told them I’d be up that way in May. Could they hold onto it until then? “No problem,” came the response. Phil, Jr. later told me the whole story. “The bowling pin had been a local icon since the late 1950s,” he explained, “but the owner sold the business and opened a new bowling

alley in nearby Manville and asked us to move the pin. He told us we didn’t need to install it: ‘Just move it to my new place and tie it down with ropes, and I’ll install it myself later.’ “It was not too long afterwards,” continued Smith, “that we got a call from the guy saying the police had called him, telling him to get the bowling pin out of the middle of the street ASAP or face the consequences. The guy had obviously not mounted the big guy properly. We went over and brought it back to the shop to await further instruction and never heard from the guy again. That was at least 15 years ago.” Smith said the smiling face was added sometime during the bowling pin’s tenure at Greenbrook, and that a tin-sheathed plywood top hat was added to top him off. The hat deteriorated over the years. The bowling pin’s interesting history was not unlike the shop that rescued it. Ace Sign Co. was co-founded in 1928 by Phil, Jr.’s grandfather, David, and his partner “Ace” Friedman, a former boxer. Ace was the salesman; David was the signpainter. The shop got a big boost when it began doing work for Leon Hess’ then-fledgling oil company, Hess Oil, which was founded in Perth Amboy. The shop grew to employ eight signpainters at its height. In the early 1970s, Ace Sign expanded, offering backlit plastic signs to its local customer base. It continued to maintain its separate neon plant as it had since the beginning. Under Phil, Sr., the shop became a beta site for Gerber Scientific Products’ first vinyl cutter in the early 1980s; computerization was fully integrated by the late 1980s. Although Ace Signs’ days of employing eight signpainters are gone, it still paints some of Hess Oil’s local storage tanks. The company is currently operated by Phil, Jr. and his brother, David. Father Phil, Sr. is semi-retired. ■

The 2011 ST Vehicle Graphics Contest:

The Drive for Five

This year’s 275 entries generate another memorable winners’ circle. By Steve Aust

Tandhevehicle novelty of vehicle graphics, wraps in particular, has worn off. To simply supply an end user with a graphic treatment of his shop truck, or a van or car intended for promotional use at special events, is no longer enough to gain attention. Given viewers’ limited attention spans and wraps’ increasing market saturation, a successful campaign must be colorful, legible and succinct in its message. Admittedly, the quantity of entries has slightly declined recently. Whereas entries once exceeded 300, we received 275 for this competition. Some of that can presumably be attributed to the economy, which has triaged many providers and left survivors working double-time to

grow their businesses. But, we thank the 50 shops that submitted entries and hope other shops will also join the fray in the future. Our recently published State of the Industry Report indicates a slight dip in the market. Vehicle graphics’ percentage of shop revenue declined from 21.1% in 2008 to 18.5% in 2010 (see ST, August 2011, page 72). It’s difficult to determine whether wrap orders dropped off, or if providers are simply charging less, which may mean free design and other, valueadded services. Regardless, the quality remains as strong as ever. Numerous worthwhile projects ended up without awards (you’ll see many of them in a gallery in the November issue’s Vinyl Apps

The Judges This intrepid quartet of sign professionals pored over scores of Vehicle Graphics Contest submissions, providing their expertise with only breakfast and lunch as their compensation (and the added thrill of being kingmakers). They’re (left to right) Christian Beebe, owner of Worldwide Sign & Graphics (Cincinnati); Adam Coffaro, president of Hebron, KY-based Crux Roadboardz, which produces vehicle wraps, window graphics and wallscapes; Rick Roderer, proprietor of Fastsigns #227 in Fairfield, OH; and, Erik Brown, a Cincinnati signage and environmentalgraphic designer who operates his own firm, Brownstone Design.

column), and the judges often faced impasses determining what entries should receive top honors. Congratulations to Signs Now #98, of Baltimore, which produced the Best of Show winner, a Mini Cooper wrap for a Baltimore photography studio. Although we don’t officially award a Best of Show runner-up, it’s worth noting that 360 Wraps’ (Dallas) retrostyle racecar for EA Motorsports achieved that status because the judges spent approximately 15 minutes debating the two worthy candidates. Although none claimed an award, the burgeoning food-truck trend generated 12 entries. As social mediafriendly operation of such trucks increases, we anticipate one of them will soon earn an award. We may initiate a food-truck wrap competition through www.signweb.com. This year’s successful entries emphasized legibility. Whereas wild, vivid designs carried many past winners to victory, most of this competition’s champions provided crisp designs with straightforward messages. The old adage states you can’t please everybody. Inevitably, we receive messages from readers who express their disapproval over a specific winner or the victors in general (of course, we appreciate that readers care enough about ST to express an opinion). However, we’re quite pleased with this year’s winners and their paradigm shift to clean, effective design that reaches target audiences amidst the “white noise” of visual clutter.

FIRST PLACE Fabricator Gatorwraps Ontario, CA (909) 390-1020 www.gatorwraps.com Designer Jeff Ciavardini Installers Jose Barragan Omar Paz Client Gary Fisk/Holy Monkey Inc. If your kids are serious about playing G.I. Joe, Kids-Army. com (a Holy Monkey Inc. subsidiary), which sells its wares online and at a store in Mira Loma, CA, should probably be your first stop. To help promote the store’s offerings of toy guns, grenades, uniforms and related gear, Fisk turned to Gatorwraps to wrap its delivery truck. Ciavardini masterfully transformed a Chevy box truck into a military-transport vehicle using Adobe® Creative Suite 5’s Illustrator® and Photoshop®. The shop produced the wrap using Avery MPI 1005 EZ RS air-release vinyl on a Mutoh ValueJet VJ-1614 64-in.-wide, solvent-ink printer. Avery’s DOL 1060 glossy overlaminate keeps the graphics fresh for small-fry soldiers to view for years to come. The installers’ tools included propane torches, breakaway knives – Ciavardini said they prefer the quickness of a breakaway blade for sharp cuts – and Avery felt/plastic combination squeegees.

The shop printed the approximately 1,200-sq.-ft. wrap with 3M’s 180-10C Controltac with Comply media on its Durst Rho 160 96-in.-wide, UV-cure-ink printer. 3M’s 8519 luster-finish overlaminate helps extend the verdant message’s lifespan. The approximately 875-sq.-ft. wrap required six panels, with the majority (slightly more than 300 sq. ft. on either side) covering the truck’s business end.

Summers executed the trailer’s branding from scratch, beginning with researching diner photos before refining every facet, from the floor’s dancing-shoe pattern to the counter’s metallic texture. He said, “The small details are where I like to make my work shine. It’s what makes my job fun.” SkinzWraps fabricated the 52-in.wide panels using Avery MPI 1005 EZ RS glossy, air-release media, which it printed on its Epson GS 6000 ecosolvent-ink printer. Avery DOL 1060 glossy overlaminate helps preserve the vintage-diner motif. Installers overlapped the panels and conformed them to the surface with torches, X-acto knives and proprietary, custommade squeegees.

Flanagan said, “The color scheme is extraordinarily noticeable and has done a great job of turning heads and giving us a competitive edge in the Houston market.” He designed the program using Adobe Creative Suite 5. The design files were cropped in Photoshop to fit vehicle panels for seamless installation. The job required removing door handles, mirrors, rubber window gaskets and antennae to ensure no exposed vinyl edges. GFX Wraps printed the project’s 13 panels with approximately 75 linear feet of 54-in. 3M Controltac with Comply film, which was printed on a Roland DGA VersaCAMM VP-540 eco-solventink printer/cutter and protected with 8519 lusterfinish overlaminate applied with a Seal 54 Base laminator. Reyes installed the wrap over two days, which included disassembly and removal of the truck’s prior wrap, using Geek Wraps Inc.’s soft-edge squeegees, #11 X-acto knives and a propane torch for the installation.

After having designed the graphics with Photoshop, Wrap This! produced the first-surface wrap with 3M Controltac with Comply film, which it printed on a Mutoh Toucan LT solvent-ink printer. The web address and logo were printed as a second surface, which comprises 3M’s Scotchlite IJ 680CR-10 reflective film, which was also printed on the Toucan. After having prepped the body with 3M’s Primer 94 body filler, Dow and Cortez executed the wrap using 3M V-CAT 2 rollers, heat guns and Gold Teflon® squeegees.

THIRD PLACE Fabricator iMgX Kreativ by Benchmark Inc.

And, thus the “Art Monster” was born. Deming began his concept as a 30 x 42-in. sketch, which he drew with Prismacolor colored pencils on an illustration board. He digitized a sectioned, high-resolution scan using a desktop Epson scanner. Deming stitched the scans together using Photoshop, color-corrected the piece, and scaled it to be large enough for a truck wrap. He also manipulated the image to create an alligator-skin pattern for the background. He and Parmley produced the wrap using 3M Controltac with Comply air-release media on iMgX Kreativ/Benchmark’s Seiko ColorPainter 64 solvent-ink printer, along with Avery DOL 1060 glossy overlaminate.

It’s difficult to make such a laconic experience exciting, but Make Studio and Extreme Graphics pulled it off nicely for Simms Fishing, which makes fishing gear from footwear to backpacks. Capt. Dave Chouinard, Simms Fishing’s sales rep for the Southeast, wanted to increase brand awareness by wrapping his recreational vehicle. Extreme Graphics produced the wrap on 3M Controltac IJ180C-10 with Comply v3 air-release film, which it printed with a Mimaki JV3-160SP solvent-ink printer. 3M’s 8518 glossy overlaminate, applied with a GBC 3064 WF dual-function laminator, will help the fish keep biting. Because of the high ink saturation, Extreme Graphics allowed the 24 panels, which total approximately 1,000 sq. ft., to outgas for 72 hours. Postill installed the wrap using The Wraptor, his patent-pending installation apparatus designed to help vinyl maintain consistent tension and reduce installation time by using a gimbal joint and vertical, expanding stanchion that allows 360° vertical and horizontal application. The wrap provided a very tangible benefit for Chouinard; sales in his territory grew 141% after the job’s completion. 66 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

This is the first double-decker bus – a Bristol, built in 1963 –we’ve received for this category. Obviously, no templates existed; Graphitek measured every inch of the bus, and a four-man installation crew required six days to complete the job. Because the bus had been painted numerous times and had several rust spots, extended sanding and priming was needed. “The wrap measures 2,025 sq. ft.,” Al Randle, Graphitek’s general manager, said. “It was a big beast. The sheer height, and the numerous windows and intricate nooks and crevices required slow, deliberate work.” The shop produced the wrap on 3M Controltac air-release media with a Mimaki JV-5 and luster-finish topcoat. The installation required scaffolding and 3M edge sealer to prevent the material from lifting, as well as a complement of torches, heat guns, 3M nylon squeegees and razors.

It’s certainly a jungle out there in the restaurant business; a challenging economy has limited most families’ discretionary income, and it’s more difficult than ever for an up-and-comer to gain brand awareness. To grab eyes for the Pita Jungle, an independent, quick-service chain with 13 locations in Arizona and California, bluemedia partnered with Owens Harkey and Valley Metro, Phoenix’s public-transportation provider, to produce this flamboyantly colored wrap that provides required urban edge. Although the numerous visual elements may appear chaotic, the shop used 3M’s Visual Attention Service, a program that analyzes a design and indicates what elements are most prominent, to perfect the design. Bluemedia fabricated the wrap using 3M’s IJ46-20 film, a 4-mil, matte-finish media specifically designed for transit wraps and solvent- or UV-cure-ink printing. The shop printed it on an HP Scitex TurboJet 8300 pigment-based, solvent ink printer. Bluemedia’s 55,000-sq.-ft. facility provides ample space for buses and or other supersized wraps.

BEST OF SHOW Fabricator Signs Now #098 Baltimore (410) 243-7020 www.signsnowbaltimore.com Designers Robert McClintock Jeremy Foote Signs Now Installer Brooks Todd Client Robert McClintock While I compiled the contest entries, this one immediately grabbed my attention. It was a rare submission by a client. In a field full of flames, skulls and pin-up girls, an elegant, slightly impressionistic wrap that depicts Baltimore landmarks stood apart. The judges agreed. Interestingly, the project carries the inherent advantage of an end user – a digital “painter” – savvy enough to provide first-rate artwork. McClintock presented the photos of his Mini Cooper S from various angles and superimposed digital renderings of several potential artistic themes. Foote used composite photographs for reference to develop production artwork, and the shop and client agreed to emphasize Baltimore landmarks. McClintock provided four, flattened Adobe Photoshop files of his paintings, and a fifth with his signature. At 72 dpi, the files ranged from 30 x 40 to 75 x 150 in. Foote used a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop to create

To execute the wrap, Signs Now printed the wrap – Avery MPI 1005 EZ RS air-release media for the body, and Clear Focus Imaging’s ClassicVue 50%-perforated film for the windows – on its Mimaki JV3-160SP solvent-ink printer with SS2 inks. According to Foote, the printer’s set-up of two same-color cartridges per printhead enabled fast, high-quality printing. To laminate the wrap, Signs Now used Avery’s DOL 1060 glossy overlaminate for the body film and Clear Focus’ CurvaLam optically clear topcoat for the windows. To RIP and print, the shop used Onyx Preflight 7 and ProductionHouse 7. Todd installed the wrap’s seamless panels with Golden squeegees, lots of fresh X-acto blades, heat and his fingers.

And, in a marketplace saturated with decorated Chevrolet HHRs and Scions, Corso’s decision to wrap an American classic – a 1959 Cadillac – to advertise his new company at promotions and special events was a wise move. After an alcohol wipedown, and having prepped the vintage car with 3M Primer 94 adhesion promoter in deep, concave areas, Palmer Signs created the eight-panel, 261sq.-ft. wrap with 3M Controltac air-release media on a Mimaki JV-33 54-in.-wide, solventink printer. 3M’s glossy 8518 overlaminate will help the tailfinned Caddy keep its sheen.

Ciavardini’s biggest challenge was creating the splinter effect where the flag and wood-grain design intersect: “We shadowed and contoured the flag to give the appearance that it’s pushing the wood planks off the boat’s hull.” The shop fashioned the print with Avery MPI 1005 EZ RS vinyl on a Mutoh ValueJet 1614 printer with eco-solvent inks.

This one carries particular significance because it heralded the opening of the first L.A. Freebirds location. Wilkerson began his design process with a pen and paper sketch, and digitized his work with CorelDraw 13. Great Big Signs fabricated the letters from 0.125-in.-thick stainless steel with a plasma cutter and swirl-sanded the letters to give them their shimmering texture.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Philadelphia Sign celebrates its centennial by going solar.

By Steve Aust

W hen Philadelphia Sign Co. (PSCO) was founded in 1911, wooden, handpainted “For Rent” signs represented its first offering. As neon’s introduction to the sign industry revolutionized electric-sign possibilities, the shop became an early adopter and built numerous movie marquees and rooftop signage as they became industry trends. The company has since kept pace with LED illumination and other signage innovations. As ST can attest (it passed the century mark five years ago), an enterprise doesn’t remain in business for 100 years without rolling with the punches and staying vigilant in adopting new trends. Today, the shop provides turnkey manufacturing, project management and maintenance for financial-services, retail and hospitality clients, among others. Embarking on its second century, PSCO now maintains headquarters in Palmyra, NJ, just outside Philadelphia. It operates additional production facilities in Palmyra and Pennsauken, NJ, as well as a sales and installation plant in Littleton, MA, and satellite sales offices in Chicago and Knoxville and Virginia Beach, VA. The company boldly addressed 74 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

Philadelphia Sign Co. (PSCO) Palmyra, NJ, marked its centennial with a bold move to retrofit its 225,000-sq.-ft. Pennsauken (NJ) production facility to operate entirely from solar power. The retrofit cost $4.5 million, but, through a Treasury Dept. grant and tax credit, PSCO will save approximately $1.3 million off its 2011 tax bill – not to mention saving nearly $200,000 per year on utility costs.

what will be a growing concern for the next 100 years – sustainable energy. The company equipped its 225,000-sq.-ft. Pennsauken facility with a $4.5 million retrofit that enables the shop to be run entirely by solar power. What began as a cold call evolved into a forward-thinking decision to invest in green energy. Here comes the sun During the summer of 2010, several solar-power-component vendors visited PSCO to discuss installing a solar-power system. Intrigued by both investing in renewable energy and federal tax credits, Bob Mehmet, PSCO’s CEO, researched the viability and efficacy (and cost) of switching to solar power. He exhaustively pored over data for two months, and toured nearby facilities – Dietz & Watson, Johnson

& Johnson and the Pennsauken landfill – which had transitioned to solar power. Mehmet then decided to state his case to Bill Trucksess, the company chairman. Trucksess agreed the solar-power installation would be advantageous. Rather than going with a turnkey provider, PSCO decided to buy its components directly from the manufacturer and manage the project in-house. They chose to retrofit the Pennsauken plant because its flat roof, which spans approximately five acres, would be most conducive to the changeover. The company promptly sought project vendors. Mehmet said, “As with finding a sign-industry vendor, it became very apparent that there’s a significant difference in quality among manufacturers.” A week later, PSCO contracted

“Our comptroller was pleasantly surprised when our monthly electric bills were nearly $16,000 less per month than the year before, despite increases in manpower and overhead.”

with Array SunSystems (Pennsauken), a company that constructs solarintegration systems, and First American Solar, also of Pennsauken, as the project’s installer. After Array SunSystems conducted a site survey to determine the facility’s needs, PSCO purchased 4,790 Mage Solar photovoltaic (PV) cell panels and two SMA 500,000W, DC-to-AC power inverters. The panels’ semiconductor layers, which comprise crystalline silicon, absorb light and transfer the light’s energy to the PV cell. The energy loosens electrons, and their movement produces a direct electric current (DC). The inverter runs the DC through a transformer, which converts it into alternating current (AC), which provides the more mobile, bi-directional current required for virtually all commercial electrical usage. Before the PV panels were installed, PSCO applied a white, thermoplastic-polyolefin (TPO) coating to the roof, which directs sunlight away from the surface and toward the panels, which increases the PV output by approximately 50%. Built in the 1930s, the Pennsauken facility is, in Mehmet’s words, “built like a tank.” The roof is framed in steel and covered by 1.5-in.-thick, wood planks. So, it was more than strong enough to handle the coating and panels’ additional weight.

Green thoughts Although the “green energy” change provided the somewhat intangible benefit of conserving energy and enjoying industry-pioneer status, the switchover tangibly bolstered PSCO’s bottom line. John Foley, the company’s senior VP, said, “Our comptroller was pleasantly surprised when our monthly electric bills were nearly $16,000 less per month than the year before, despite increases in manpower and overhead.” The PV installation is tied into the plant’s electric grid through a system called net metering. The electricity meter records the amount of electricity being fed back into the power grid, and credits for kilowatthours (kWh) used are applied to the customer’s account. Mehmet said that, since the system’s completion in early 2011, power the company’s PV system has sent back to Public Service Electric & Gas of New Jersey has exceeded the power the company has consumed by 50,000 kWh – the equivalent of power used at its Palmyra production facility. The costs for insurance and maintenance of the system amount to less than 10% of the company’s utility bills annually. Moreover, the solar panels’ energy generation offsets enough carbon pollution to equal the removal of 6,400 cars, and their emissions, from the road. In addition to the $190,000 yearly reduction on the power bill, federal

tax credits for solar-energy usage have also benefitted the company. Put in place through the Section 1 603 Treasury Grant program, the government allows owners of PV energy-collection systems to depreciate 85% of the system’s total operating costs during its first year, as well as a federal grant that allows the company to receive a tax credit through the U.S. Treasury equal to 30% of the system’s set-up costs. All told, the tax credits will save the company an estimated $1.3 million on its 2011 taxes. The timing was key; in 2012, the depreciation credit reduces to 50% at best. “With the net-metering and tax credits, the system was a no-brainer,” Mehmet said. “And, after [the impact of Presidential and Congressional elections in] 2012, it’s unknown whether the alternative-energy credits will continue. It was time to act.” PSCO reinforced its energyefficiency initiative by replacing every 400W, metal-halide bulb in the plant with 200W, compact-fluorescent bulbs that fit the same fixtures. Bret Matthews, national sales VP, concluded, “The halls have never been brighter, and the reduction in energy usage has been substantial. The switch to solar also gives our customers the opportunity to affirm their commitment to renewable energy by purchasing their signs from us. This undertaking is a significant statement of where our company is heading in the next 100 years.” ■ SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011 75

UK Finance Company Banks on Window Graphics The ad campaign was planned before the building was purchased.

K udos to the Manchester, UK ad agency, ADZ Media; to the First Step Finance debt-solution company, and, perhaps, to the UK’s appreciation of the value of signs! While Stockport, UK-based First Step Finance was still negotiating the price of buying its building, plans were in the works for covering all of its 48 windows with a cohesive ad campaign of testimonials, photos of actual clients, and contact information. All of the see-through graphics were produced using Contra Vision® licensed material. First Step previously had been located in an industrial section, and 76 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

this April 2011 move to a two-level, corner building on a busy arterial road (with heavy pedestrian traffic and two bus stops) represented a golden opportunity for self promotion. The window graphics coincided with the company’s first ads on daytime TV, along with a revamped website. Chris Hamer, the managing director for ADZ, observed, “They expected more inquiries just by moving to the main road, but they’ve seen the number of people coming in double from 18-20 per day to 40.” Similarly, a First Step spokes-

person told Chris, “It feels like everybody who comes to see us mentions the windows and how effective they look. I’ve even had people come up to me at social events, in restaurants, even on holiday, and comment on how impressive they are.” ADZ created the artwork using Adobe Illustrator to produce hi-res PDFs. The graphics were printed by Cestrian Imaging, which has been a Contra Vision licensee since 1996. Chris said initial plans are to change the graphics annually. This was ADZ’s first job with First

Step (and First Stepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first foray into a large-scale marketing campaign), but the instant blush of success has blossomed into an entire multimedia project of redesigning its website, writing and producing radio scripts, and planning national, regional and local media. Chris said window graphics are quite popular with UK retailers, and the initial inquiry specifically targeted signage solutions. But instead of merely identifying the company name, ADZ quickly suggested the branding and marketing benefits see-through graphics could provide. n SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011 77

Beyond Bourbon Street Every tradeshow offers collaboration, education, training, and a harried, feet-screaming, end-of-the-day exhaustion that’s hard to describe. Short of sticking one’s feet in the toilet — a technique actually recommended to me at ISA — taking time away can help you recharge and maximize your time on the floor. Restaurants within walking distance One block from the show, Fulton Street’s pedestrian mall hosts numerous restaurants and bars, including Rock-nSake (.4 mi), which offers sushi with a side of rock ’n roll. A bit farther away (.7 mi), Mother’s Restaurant serves po boys, red beans, jambalaya, etouffee and other local favorites at bargain prices for any meal. Willing to break the bank a bit? Walk five minutes to Cochon for Cajun that won’t disappoint. Try the restaurant’s namesake dish, a garlicky, roasted suckling pig.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

“I believe this makes us more competitive in bids to host events.”

By Steve Aust

Indianapolis Scores The Circle City embraces hosting the Super Bowl with a business-friendly, special-event sign code.

W hen it was launched with the dry title of the AFL-NFL Championship Game in 1967 (before both leagues merged into the NFL), pro-football executives probably didn’t imagine its championship game would evolve into the Super Bowl, now a major cultural event with more than 100 million U.S. viewers annually. Now, throngs of reporters and bloggers descend on the host city and scrutinize every press-conference quote and injury rumor as if delineating the Dead Sea Scrolls. And, from banners to building wraps to 3-D, on- and off-premise spectaculars, signs inform, entertain and build brand equity to this affluent, influential crowd. The next Super Bowl, number 46 (in the NFL’s ascribed Roman numerals, XLVI), will be held in Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. Lacking Miami’s beaches or New Orleans’ Bourbon St., local officials understood the need for special-event sign codes that make The Circle City more attractive to area businesses and corporate sponsors. The Dept. of Code Enforcement (DCE) worked in conjunction with the Office of Corporation Counsel (OCC), a city-government office that aids business development, and officially presented the proposal to the Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council, on June 27. Councillor Angel Rivera (R), who joined the Council in January 2010, served as the sponsor. Adam W. Collins, a DCE administrator who formerly worked for the OCC, said, “We reviewed many cities’ special-event ordinances to craft ours. Often, these types of regulations will include specifics, like a building wrap can’t cover more than 40% of a building surface. We’ve made the language of ours flexible, with the authority to set up specifics on a per-event basis rather than trying to introduce new legislation for every event. I believe this makes us more competitive in bids to host events.” The proposal was initially passed by the Council’s Public Policy Committee by a 7-1 vote on August 10, and went to a Council vote five days later, where it passed 22-5. Here’s a rundown of some sign-related provisions: • B usinesses may file with DCE for a limitedduration license. Per the ordinance, the maximum time frame for any such license is 90 days. Collins said a sign’s typical license duration would be 10 to 14 days total. • The basic license fee is two-tiered; for applications that would require an inspection, such as signage, it will ordinarily cost $139. The fabricator would be required to post a bond. If he fails to remove the 112 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / OCTOBER 2011

sign in a timely manner, DCE claims the bond to pay for the sign’s removal. The license permits inflatables; banners; pennants; projection signage; electronic, changeable-copy message boards, and LED signage. Signs secured to a structure under the jurisdiction of the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission must obtain Commission approval for the “manner and method” for its attachment. Digital-projection or LED signs must not be disruptive to neighboring hotels or residential buildings. Any graphics applied to the surface of a sidewalk, street or alley must be made of slip-resistant material.

The proposal received solid backing from most quarters of Indianapolis’ business community. Chris Gahl, marketing and communications VP for the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Assn., said, “Feedback from organizations that meet here has been extremely positive.” Dianna Boyce, director of communications for the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee, expects the Super Bowl to bring $150 to $400 million to the city. Lucas Oil Stadium will also host this fall’s inaugural Big Ten championship game, which Gahl said will generate approximately $18 million. As with any measure, there were detractors. Norman Pace, who represents the Marion County Assn. of Neighborhood Alliances, said, “We don’t need to be Miami. A lot of people don’t want 40- or 50-ft.-tall building wraps here. I’m afraid this will create an over-the-top atmosphere that will hinder our quality of life.” Josh Featherstone, who’s on the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s State Central Committee, rails on the party’s website, “Proposal 188 is an all-out attack on property owners, neighbors and the poor.” The Libertarians’ explicit gripes focus on event-zone permits required for ticket sales and parking in residential areas, but the party of malcontents seemingly views regulations amenable to commercial speech and economic vitality as onerous attacks on personal freedom. No law is perfect, but Indianapolis officials should be commended for a common-sense approach that will help the region portray itself as a world-class economic hub for high-profile events. n
