A Clean, Professional Finish

When Signarama Pasadena prepared for a multi-day installation project involving six large roadside advertising signs, owner and lead graphic artist Nick had one clear requirement:

We need a vinyl that prints clean, installs easily, and is available immediately.

With deadlines approaching fast and no room for error, Nick needed a material that balanced durability, smooth application, and crisp print quality. That’s when he reached out to Graphictac.

Graphictac representative Izzy visited the shop in person, delivering sample sheets and rolls for testing. Once the team printed and handled the material, the choice was obvious:

Graphictac 1000-991GX — 3 mil Gloss White Permanent Air-Release.

 

A High-Visibility Project

The project required material that could deliver:

· Vibrant outdoor-safe color

· Smooth, bubble-free installation over aluminum panels

· Strong adhesion against heat and weather

· Fast turnaround without shipping delays

Because Graphictac is local, Signarama gained the added advantage of same-day supply and emergency support — a major benefit during time-sensitive installations.

After testing, Nick immediately ordered four full 54” rolls to complete the job.

 

On-Site Execution

The vinyl was used on tall, wide-format roadside signs, designed to catch the attention of drivers heading through Pasadena. Despite the size of the graphics, installation went smoothly:

“No surprises! The air-release liner made it fast, and the print quality was really clean.”

Graphictac 1000-991GX is known for:

· Consistent ink laydown

· Strong polymeric durability

· Clean weeding and finishing

· Easy application thanks to its air-release structure

Even with the scale of the signage, the material performed exactly as expected.

 

Four Rolls, Zero Issues

A total of four rolls were used for the full project. The results?

· Sharp, high-contrast color

· Smooth installation with no lifting

· Durable, weather-ready finish

· Excellent cost savings

· Local support that kept everything on schedule

 

Nick’s reaction:

“Izzy dropped off samples and I was impressed right away. The pricing is great, the material prints beautifully, and having a local supplier helps in emergencies. We’ll keep ordering for future projects.”

 

A Solid 10 Out of 10

The roadside signs are now installed and visible throughout Pasadena — clean, bold, and professionally finished. The job was completed on time, on budget, and with a material that exceeded expectations.

Graphictac’s combination of quality, consistency, and local availability played a key role in the project’s success.
