File Preparation and Prepress – A Recipe for Success

When conceptualizing your print job, it’s helpful to imagine you are following a recipe. Skipping a step or leaving out an element is a surefire way to mess up your cake – er, print job.

SunDance Hosts Back-To-School Donation Drive

As summer starts to wane, we’re greeted with big yellow school buses and the back-to-school aisles torn asunder. The start of a new school year brings many opportunities for the children in our communities, but it also draws attention to the problems teachers and students face when it comes to supplies. 29% of parents say they can’t afford back to school supplies for their children, and 94% of public school teachers pay out of pocket to supply their classrooms with essential items.

Our SunDance employees try to give back to the local community whenever possible. We kicked off a donation drive for A Gift for Teaching in early July. A Gift for Teaching is a local nonprofit aimed at helping Orange and Osceola County teachers stock their classrooms through their free teacher supply stores, supplied partially by donations. This store allows teachers to get necessary supplies once a month they need for their classrooms, with the average ‘shopping trip’ giving over $600 in classroom materials.

Enhance Displays, Signage and More with Our New HP Latex R2000 Plus Printer

SunDance is pleased to announce to announce the purchase of our new wide format flatbed printer – the HP R2000 latex flatbed printer. In addition to upgrading all the capabilities of our previous flatbed the R2000 is HP’s newest shining star in their latex print division, and with good reason. The R2000 excels at printing on both rigid and flexible media, allowing for complete color control across a variety of mediums. It delivers knockout color and high-resolution graphics on corrugated cardboard and folding carton material as well as acrylic and aluminum signage and panels. Flexible media applications allow for banners, vinyl, window clings, wallpaper printings, wall applications, and some fine art applications. In addition to printing with precise color dot placement and rich saturation across different media applications, the R2000 also boasts the glossiest, most opaque white ink in the business today.

Client Spotlight: Lights, Camera, SunDance!

At SunDance, not only do we produce print and packaging for established brands and products, but also upcoming innovators and spec projects. In fact, sometimes our print projects are designed and conceived entirely as a building block to something else. SunDance sales executive Steve Kirchof was contacted to work with a production company and design a series of production prop boxes for the Ben Stiller/AppleTV production of Severance. Working hand in hand with a production company, we designed a series of Lumon Industries vending machine food boxes prominently featured throughout the series' first season.
