To highlight his new book Equus, photographer Tim Flach teamed up with Epson to produce a 60in print of one of the images included in the book. The print, mounted on aluminium, has been hanging in the Asprey store in New Bond Street since the middle of April. Flach explained: "Whilst the print will not be viewed close up, it is still important that the fine detail of the 'Horse Mountain' image is visible. Epson's Stylus Pro 11880 has given me the quality and detail I demand. I have also been using Epson's latest printer, the Stylus Pro 7900, because of its astonishingly accurate colour reproduction, to output the proof prints for the 'Carbro Edition' book."

Horse mountain
An approach from a potential customer for ‘some form of display’ led PPS to undertake a complete range of POS, signage, literature, photography and adverts for The Grass Factory. As part of the remit the company designed a new logo and incorporated this into a six-feet tall printed diabond free standing POS display unit. The shaped metal panels also incorporated individual framed samples of grass and a literature holder. The initial run of 100 free standing units were flat-packed for easy delivery to centers throughout the UK. A second version, that houses actual rolls of grass products, is under construction

The green, green grass
For the second year PPS won a contract for the Department of Work and Pensions, via its conference and event management company, to produce 53 3x3 printed and supplied pop up kits, lights and cases along with 250 roller banner stands and lights. The displays were in English and Welsh and PPS had three weeks to produce the pop up and roller banners which it has manufactured and imported from a supplier in China. All were printed on PPS’s HP5000/5500 printers, using media it also sources from China.

Getting down to work
John E Wright received a prestigious Silver Award at the 2009 Geographical Association conference for its Mapland Scotland project, a giant walk-over jigsaw puzzle printed to scale at 1:50,000. The jigsaw has just 180 pieces which, when joined together, form a 14m x 8m puzzle. The company took over 600 Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map tiles and electronically stitched them together before outputting the files digitally using solvent free UV inks across 37 1.5m plastic boards. A large flatbed digital cutter using optical recognition software then produced the pieces to form Mapland Scotland.

All mapped out
There’s a big cover-up going on in Venice, a city not unused to hiding its less photogenic side behind more picturesque facades. The city is currently a showground of wide-format print, with building wraps covering construction/repair work on a number of key attractions, including St. Mark’s Square and Peggy Guggenheim Museum. On a more positive note, some of the floor graphics, as seen in this shot of a glass store near St Mark’s Square, are more beautiful than the items on sale.

This stand was created by Skyline Whitespace to meet a brief for a theatre style space that had whiteboard interactive areas with demo points and a separate subscriber area. Large colourful panels were used to divide these areas. They were printed on an Epson printer using Intellicoat Magic paper and mounted onto stoplight with a Jetguard seal. The graphics were then mounted onto Skyline’s Engage walling system with magnetic tape, enabling the graphics to be reused at other shows.<br>
