How is the custom wallcovering installed?

Our wallcovering is installed just like any other standard wallpaper. We recommend a pre-mixed clear adhesive found at most home improvement or hardware stores.

Your image is scaled to full size, and then produced in panels to create the full image. Our wallcovering panels are roughly 4 ½ feet wide by however tall your wall is, which cuts down on seaming. We provide an inch of bleed around the perimeter of the image to ensure enough material for coverage, and add 2 inches of overlap between panels for double cutting.

The Vinyl wallcoverings have a protective liner that is peeled away to allow the permanent or repositionable adhesive to be attached to the wall.

What is double cutting?

This refers to the type of wallcovering installation where one panel of wallcovering is hung, and the next corresponding panel is overlapped over it (in our case 1 ½ inches). Then, a straight edge is applied and a blade cuts through both panels at the same time. The strips of waste are removed, and you’re left with the most invisible seem possible.

Can you help me locate a wallcovering installer?

Our most trusted way to refer you to a local wallcovering installer is through the Wallcovering Installers Association.(click the icon to the right to their home page and installer database). Wallcovering installers who join the guild adhere to its strict policy of quality and professionalism. Another quality source for wallcovering installers is www.wallpaperinstaller.com, which is also an abundant and trusted resource for anything wallcovering related. We will help you with the installer’s contact information, however, all transactions and schedules for installation will be between you and the installer.

How many colors can a banner have?

We do not have a color limit on our custom banners, this allows you to include as many photos or graphics in your design.

Can you print on both sides of the banner?

We can print on two sides of one vinyl banner, but you may experience some of the opposite side showing through in certain lighting conditions. We recommend joining two banners together to make it more opaque and provide twice the durability.

What file types are recommended for the best results?

Acceptable formats include:

• EPS (Encapsulated Post Script AI (Adobe Illustrator)
• PDF (Adobe Reader PDF)
• PSD (Adobe Photoshop)
• JPG (High Resolution JPEG)
• TIFF (High Resolution TIFF)

• Be sure to convert all fonts to outlines or curves before sending the file
• Please set the size of the proof in proportion to the exact size of the final banner's size
• There's no need to include bleeds in the proof, unless it is a part of the graphic
• All text should be at least two inches from the edge of the banner to allow for the grommets to be placed

What options do I have for hanging my banner?

The most common hanging techniques are using grommets every three to four feet from another—per industry standards, or pole-pockets, where a loop is sewn into the top and/or bottom, and/or sides to insert a pole through to keep the banner from sagging in the middle.

How is the adhesive vinyl laminated to the base material?

Using our DryTac laminator set to precise temperature and pressure settings, the laminated material is applied to the substrate you've chosen. Our experts in the finishing department meticulously inspect and assure your finished product meets the highest quality standards Trinity Graphic is known for.

How does lamination effect color?

Glossy lamination finishes tend to make prints look and feel more vibrant. Satin finishes prevent unwanted glare, which is important for trade show exhibits or backdrops being used on television or camera. Sorry, but lamination does not enhance the color.

How durable is the vinyl adhesive material and printing?

Generally adhesive vinyl applications are meant for indoor display and will last many years with the proper care and handling. Of course, we also make products using the adhesive vinyl for outdoor applications and generally we put a clear laminate over the surface for further protection.

What type of print surface will best enhance your images?

A visible canvas texture can affect the look of the image. If you are reproducing softly colored impressionistic paintings that were originally created on a textured art canvas, then you may want the print to replicate that textured surface. But if you are printing portraits or landscape photographs on canvas, you might prefer a smooth canvas so facial skin tones look even and straight lines and fine details aren’t visually disrupted by a roughly textured surface.

Matte canvas surfaces are popular for photographs and displays because they don’t reflect glare from overhead lights. Matte canvases are also more versatile, because if you want your print to have a semi-gloss or glossy look, you can apply a semi-gloss or gloss clearcoat.

What type of printer and ink do you use?

Some inkjet canvases are designed for use with the aqueous pigment inks, like those used on our HP Latex 3000. Others can be printed with our permanent UV-cured inks that also give vibrant and detail color results.

How will the prints be finished?

Most inkjet canvas today is made from a blend of polyester and cotton. While inkjet canvas with a higher percentage of polyester might not feel as “natural” as a cotton canvas, the high-polyester canvas will be easier to stretch, will print more consistently, and will be more resistant to humid conditions. An all-cotton art canvas may expand or shrink depending on the environmental conditions.

“Production” canvases for higher volume reproduction of photographs are designed to dry quickly and stretch easily so they can be finished and delivered more quickly.

What type of floor surface works best with this type of floor graphics?

How durable is the flooring? Will the image ever wear away??

The G-Floor material is made of 100% polyvinyl and provides superior durability, easy maintenance and quick installation. Because the image is printed on the back side of the flooring and UV cured during printing, the image will last far longer than any other floor graphic material or paint.

Can this floor graphic be used indoors or outdoors?

Although most applications are for indoor environments, our G-Floor material is designed to withstand the rigors of most environments due to the unique construction of the materials.

For some applications, we can even apply an anti-slip later to the top and bottom for better traction in wet or damp environments.

How is the static cling material printed and installed?

What is Melinex and what applications can it be used for?
