Before working with Wisconsin Screen Process, I never realized how much Lexan, a material made of a rugged polycarbonate, is used. What is polycarbonate? Surprisingly enough, this substrate is actually seen everywhere from control panels on gym equipment to nameplates on a toolbox or even to the surface of a safety decal. While working at […]
Applying graphics in the summer heat can be just as challenging as applying graphics in the middle of winter. Similar to winter applications, it is not impossible but there are things to consider such as the tack or stickiness of the vinyl adhesive increases or that pressure-sensitive vinyl sometimes can adhere to the surface without […]
Last week, I received a call regarding the care of vehicle graphics. Since the lifespan of vinyl graphics is affected by exposure to outdoor elements, this is a very important subject. I know it is very unlikely and unimaginable that a vehicle can stay in a protected bubble…all the time, but there are ways to […]

Yesterday, a customer came to me with a question regarding the best placement for advertisement on a vehicle. Generally, to make the most impression to your audience, it is ideal to have important information on the rear of the vehicle. If you think about it, when you are sitting at a stoplight or stuck in […]
A customer came to us with a unique request; one that we have not tried in the past. But, since we already have the equipment capable of meeting the request, it just made sense to test our abilities. The request was to directly screen print onto a hard hat. We have always had the ability […]
