Two and a Half Decades Strong!
From 1999 to 2024, Adgraphix is celebrating its 25th year on a journey that has seen innovation and passion for creating print, sign, and display excellence. Looking back, there is a clear pattern of pushing the envelope and adopting technology to provide cutting-edge solutions. In 1999, our desire was to offer a new approach to large format digital printing. Identifying a gap in the market, with trade backgrounds in sign and print, we designed a service through the eyes of the customer. Our approach was simple yet impactful - solid products, seamless file handling (no small feat at the time), an advanced understanding of colour, product application expertise, all coupled with unprecedented quick turnaround times.
Cover it in Style
Cover Styl is a range of self-adhesive films designed to reimagine a space without the need for extensive renovations. Easily bring a tired space up to date with a fresh look from the catalogue of designs and textures. Upgrading with self-adhesive films is simple, less disruptive, and lower in cost than traditional renovations.
Pantone Without Pantone?
There is a lot of commotion in the graphic design world regarding how Pantone fits into the colour specification picture, now that they have parted existing ways with Adobe. Regardless of which side of the fence you stand on, we can clarify how it affects the work we do for you, and more importantly, how we handle Pantone colours, whether you use the new Pantone Connect swatches or not.
NZ's First L2700 Printer Has Landed
We have installed the first HP Latex 2700 printer in New Zealand. This is the latest printer release from HP in the 3.2m platform. The addition of this printer to our stable brings all our latex printers in line running generation 4 inks.
Text On The Vertical
Which way should text go when running vertically for signage? Downward some would say, that's how many books do it; upward others would say, that's how our eyes naturally track; stacked would also be suggested. Which one should you follow? Well you be the judge because in fact, its is really down to personal opinion and what pleases your eyes.
To Cover... Or Not?
Picture this... You've got an awesome design on your company vehicle, and then you find out to your shock the car is not legal when you get your next WOF. Vehicle types MA, MB, MC and NA means a lot when it comes to vehicle graphics. Many passenger cars will not meet WOF regulations with decals on windows. We've done our share of research and question asking to highlight some passenger vehicle basics of what you need to know about what you plan to cover.
Xmas Season Action
The final run up to Christmas see's a surge of Christmas and holiday themed files heading our way for printing and production. We have thrown together this snapshot of some of the projects we have been working on for Ballantynes, Christchurch International Airport and Macpac lately as we count down the days to the summer holidays.
