INFOGRAPHIX COLORTRANS "HOW-TO" VIDEO PRESENTATION

 

Welcome to Infographix, Americas's fastest growing graphic arts development company.

 

From the same people who brought you Rasterserve, the first truly affordable digital poster production printing system, now comes COLORTRANS, a revolutionary industry first - a full-color direct digital process for vinyl.

 

With COLORTRANS, vinyl banners and signage are a breeze, while conventional screen processes, both expensive and time-consuming, have gone the way of the dinosaur.

 

As a promotional medium today, vinyl is HOT! Through the COLORTRANS Vinyl production Process, you can ride the "Vinyl Wave" and produce brilliant results - instantly!

 

Whether it's posters, murals, banners or trade show signage, COLORTRANS delivers in vinyl.

And the best part? You'll be using virtually the same technology, equipment and processes you now use for your top-quality poster production: A RasterServe digital printing system, with a Xerox or Calcomp electrostatic printer, and a laminating machine.

 

Welcome to the COLORTRANS Vinyl Production System!

 

Through the power of video, we'll take you step-by-step through this amazingly simple process. With COLORTRANS, you quickly be on your way to creating top quality vinyl signage and banners - using a system and processes you've already come to trust. Let's create a banner!

 

The story begins in the same place where all your large-format poster production starts: at your graphic designer's PC or Mac. The image is manipulated in the same manner

 

After the image is enhanced through the dynamic Error Diffusion Software, it is then processed through Infographix RasterServe, the state-of-the-art digital imaging software. Once through these steps, the image moves on to your Xerox Versatec or Calcomp electrostatic printer.

 

Up to this point, every step in the vinyl production process is identical to normal large-format poster production. It is at the printing stage, that the vinyl production process takes some new directions.

 

The first is the use of new and different paper, specially designed for the vinyl process. The second is that your image is printed in reverse. A good analogy is a T-shirt transfer. It appears reversed on special paper. Once applied, the paper is peeled off cleanly, leaving a correctly oriented image. This is the essence of the COLORTRANS vinyl process as well.
