McDonald, Assortment of everything
Posted by David McDonald on 9 October 2016 at 22:57Hi All
Just sorting out gallery photos and thought I’d upload some recent work (or over the last months anyhow).
Cheers

Some really nice variety there David.
I really like the wallpapers, very nicely implemented. -
Some lovely work. What was with wrapping the toy car? Looks good

very nice work, a lot of murals, wich materials do you use for the murals?

Hi David
It was a prototype for the full size design – It was an RC car that they had whizzing around on the exhibition floor to promote the franchise.
Cheers Macky

Hi Tim
It is mostly Metamark MD-WA, Wall art, with the ‘Artisan’ textured surface. A self adhesive version with the air channels. Prints well on our latex and nice to handle and install.
Cheers

another question, you print with overlap and then cut the vinyl I suppose?
I ask you this because I have a painter thats wants his prints done by my, but he insists in not have prints with overlaps, but cutting straight is even harder to find border against border – I already told him that was almost unpossible 🙂 -
Hi Tim
We always print with a 10mm overlap. It’s much easier for trimming and especially for installation.
End customers always ask us NOT to have overlaps but it isn’t like installing traditional pasted ‘paper’ style wallpaper where you have some ability to stretch and manipulate the wet paper to maintain a butt join even when the wall has slight undulations in the surface. Also as its vinyl, albeit good quality, it still may shrink slightly over time and hence the overlaps are better. The overlaps are hardly visible when finished anyway.
Cheers
