Brightening School Spirit: Translucent Vinyl Installation at Purnell Swett High School
At Mr. Postman Print Shop, we take pride in combining functionality and design to create impactful solutions for our clients. One of our recent projects brought us to Purnell Swett High School, where we used translucent vinyl to enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of their space.
The Challenge: Large Windows and Sunlight
Purnell Swett High School had two large sections of interior windows that needed coverage. While the goal was to add privacy and reduce glare, the school also wanted a design that celebrated their spirit and made the most of the abundant natural sunlight.
The Solution: Translucent Vinyl with School Pride
To address these needs, we installed custom translucent vinyl on the interior side of the windows. This material is ideal for maintaining the flow of natural light while reducing glare and providing a stunning visual effect.
The sunlight now backlights the vinyl graphics, giving them a beautiful glow that highlights the school’s pride and identity. The design features bold colors and imagery that celebrate Purnell Swett’s traditions, creating a dynamic and uplifting environment.
The Process: Precision Printing for Backlit Perfection
Achieving vibrant and professional backlit graphics requires meticulous attention to detail:
- Printing with Double Ink: To ensure the colors remain vivid when backlit, we used a technique called overprinting, applying double layers of ink during the printing process. This step is key to achieving rich, saturated hues that don’t wash out in the sunlight.
- Advanced Equipment: We used our Mimaki JV100-160 ecosolvent printer, known for its precision and high-quality output, to create the custom vinyl graphics.
- Lamination for Durability: After printing, the vinyl was laminated to provide added protection against wear and tear, ensuring it will look great for years to come.
The Results: A Glowing Success
The final installation transformed the windows into a stunning feature of the school. The translucent vinyl not only enhances the functionality of the space but also serves as a glowing reminder of Purnell Swett’s pride and dedication. Students, staff, and visitors alike have been impressed by the way the sunlight brings the graphics to life.
