Exceptional Print Durability

We recently got a call from Pete at SIGNARAMA Sunshine Coast North to tell us about the print durability of a job that he printed on his Roland DG SC-545EX wide format printer and installed 8 years ago... here's the email and photos he sent through:

I thought you might be interested in the attached photos.

These truck graphics were done in July 2005 and I took some photos last week. It is the original work and the owner has confirmed that the truck has never been garaged and has been here on the Sunshine Coast.

The prints were laminated and applied to sign white. Our records indicate that we were using Roland DG monomeric and polymeric vinyl at this time and I'd say polymeric would have been used. The lower, solid red section on the corrugated panel is Avery 800 cast vinyl.

I think this demonstrates the quality of Roland DG, [it] prints really well!

Thanks to Peter for sending this through!
