Sending out Solvent Printer samples
Hi All,
I`m considering sending out some samples of digital printing to my exisiting customer base to show them what the machine is capable of.
So far i`m thinking….
– A couple of small H&S Signs
– Hi – Rez food image (Quite Large)
– Simple 3 spot colour image (maybe a cartoon character)
– Some small “No Entry, No Unauthorised Personel” etc
– Some flags and Thistles, coats of arms
– Some “Maximum Vehicle Height” labelsI was thinking of using up no more than, say, a 300mm x 760mm piece of vinyl for this and doing approx 50 to send out.
Can anyone think of anything else that might be useful or informative to include in such a project?.
Cheers
Rod

McRod, been there, done that.
The best sample I sent out, with the best response from by clients were ones of a really pretty picture with lots of detail.
This picture http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=249654 and this one http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=242491 got good responses, but this one http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=233516 actually got me work. People rang to ask for a copy. I overlayed my logo and details in the bottom corner, and the picture did the rest.
I may use this one next http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=242127 but this one gets a good reaction too http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=165555
Hope that helps

Great advice guys, thanks.
I`ll attach the file for your scrutinisation before going ahead.
Thanks again.

Had a good sample from C3 imaging recently, it was a montage of different buildings on a typical street with overlays images applied of “banners” “billboards” “building wraps” “vehicle graphics”. They obvously spent a bit of time on the design but got over the point of what the digital print could be used for – as well as the quality of the print.
If it helps would be happy to scan and post on the site or email direct to you.

Heres some REALLY nice stuff to play with on your printer – amazing images
I have just copied and pasted a post I made some time agoThe site to go to is uksign.fotopic.net (you can just type that into the browser) or
http://uksign.fotopic.netThere you will see a whole lot of collections , click on one and a whole lot of thumbnails will come up (only displays 24 at a time , there are lots more in each collection , just hit the “next” in the bar at the bottom )
Click on a thumbnail to see a bigger pic. If you want the file in FULL resolution , there is a little bar under the pic that says “FULL SIZE” , click on that.
Want to save the pic to disc , then right click on it and hit “save file as”Enjoy!!!!

What we do for digi print samples is make an a5 booklet with various media etc as “pages”
We have a page of solid vinyl printed , another page of print and cut , paper printing , banner material , print lam and cut , print and lam , polysilk , .9mm abs , reflective , gold and silver foils , printed paper with various hot lams and encapsulation, printed cut and domed decals, backlits , blockout , clear etc etc
Its about 20 pages.
I also print liscence disk holders and some cartoon type print and cut stickers and add these in , the disc might be used and the cartoon stuff is loved by kids.
I get an amazing response to this. It’s not cheap , but one job can cover the cost of sending out 100’s.
