Wall Graphics Transforms White Memorial Medical Center Children’s Emergency Area
Creative initiative by CR&A Custom and HP transforms children’s emergency area at White Memorial Medical Center.
“With the interior design project, we wanted to create a room for our pediatric patients – who can be anything from zero to 18 years old – where they felt safe and gave them a stimulating way to look at healthcare. Instead of saying, ‘I’m in a hospital,’ they could say, ‘I’m at the aquarium’.” Sara Rubalcava-Beck, director of marketing and communications, White Memorial Medical Center.
DaVinci Technologies Announces Revolutionary New Wallcovering Product
Easy Image Wallcover is a break-through development for printable wallcovering, offering unique never before seen attributes such as highly engineered nonwoven construction and a patent-pending adhesive system. The combination of these features can reduce application time by up to 60% when compared to other methods of installation.
Easy Image Wallcover was developed to offer novice and professional installers alike the ability to easily hang digitally printed wallcoverings. Installation can be completed in two simple steps; Spray the wall with water, then hang the wallcovering.
Once applied to the wet wall, Easy Image is simple to reposition so that subsequent strips can be easily lined up to match the pattern or scene. Easy Image is also dry-strippable. Simply peel off the wall with no steaming and no scraping. This is made possible because of its highly engineered nonwoven construction.
Unlike the limitations of paper, fabric and vinyl, nonwovens can be manipulated to perform a variety of behaviors and take on many types of characteristics. Easy Image Wallcover was engineered to perform in areas where other substrates struggle.
Problems with papers are well known. They are unforgiving, weak and tear, especially when wet. Fabrics are expensive, rigid and difficult to match patterns. Vinyl has an odor and is especially tricky when dealing with creases and bubbles. All too often the entire piece must be removed and reapplied repeatedly while fighting these issues.
Easy Image Wallcover is PVC-free, odor-free, durable, breathable, and dimensionally stable. All fibers come from sustainably managed forests. It carries a class “A” fire rating based upon ASTM E-84. HP has qualified Easy Image because it has a luxurious textile-like finish that prints beautifully with HP Latex Ink, among other ink technologies.
Easy Image Wallcovering is available from DaVinci Technologies in 50” x 100’ and 50” x 300’ rolls. These rolls have been properly prepared for printing, have been inspected, tested, and securely packaged.
