Wall murals are often employed as presentation tools in museums and art
galleries. Libraries use them to theme a space as well as present
interpretative information to visitors. Advertisers use them to make
striking impressions in almost any venue, from sports stadiums, to high rise
buildings.
Harvey Mudd College in Claremont Ca. has introduced a super scale Intel microprocessor into the classroom.
Prof. David Money Harris Associate Professor of Engineering has a striking example of the Intel 386™ Microprocessor
in his class room on a ten foot square wall.
Prof. Harris provided their purchasing coordinator Sydney Torrey with a poster size image of the microprocessor
with a request for it to be printed at high resolution and installed as a wall covering in his classroom.
Sydney contacted B3digigrafx in Rancho Cucamonga for a consult on producing suitable artwork for
large format printing. The classroom was surveyed by an expert installer to choose the best materials
for print and installation. Print ready artwork was produced by scanning the poster at
high resolution, producing an 80 megabyte file.
3M adhesive vinyl, with an over laminate were selected, providing the sharp image with the durability
required in a classroom environment. Preparing the file for the 48” wide material requires some planning.
The panels are overlapped at installation, and must match seamlessly.
B3DigiGrafx offers many different materials for printed wall coverings, and now includes a dry erase laminate
for classroom wall graphics.
