Now this, is LARGE FORMAT PRINTING!

Getting ready for a BIG party. Color X is currently installing super large graphics for the  Pavilion for NY Sate Fair opening Aug. 26-Sept 6. We were involved from the start with architects & designers to turn the newly renovated Pavilion in to a graphically inspired space. The International Pavilion is inspired by large images of children and locations from all over the world. This is an amazingly challenging project that highlights the importance of contracting a highly skilled large format print/fabrication company with experience  and can offer custom solutions for all challenges and have the insight to make it all work out.
One huge curve ball thrown was that as seen in first photo, initially there was no awning, this was to go up after the large graphics were in place. Well after printing & fabricating structure & installation method & machinery for this, we were met at the site with awnings already place. So how to hoist an 8'x almost 200' and over 600lbs graphic into position? With a lot of thought, skill, muscle , bravery and experience. Please follow blog to see video post of install and the other graphics that are installing before the opening.
