Vinyl Express ColorLock™ System Continues Compudif Alliance

Sherman, Texas, March 15, 2000 – Grayson Business Computers, Inc. dba Sign Warehouse and SignWarehouse.com announces the Vinyl Express ColorLock™ System, an easy-to use and foolproof outdoor durability solution that locks in color and works with most existing inkjets and inks, regardless of brand. The Vinyl Express ColorLock™ System is the result of a continuing alliance with Compudif, France for the exclusive distribution rights in North America for the FIRST™ Polymeric System. The Vinyl Express ColorLock™ System uses the revolutionary FIRST™ Polymeric Curing Unit and the uniquely engineered FIRST™ vinyl media to produce outdoor durable output that’s scratch proof, waterproof, chemical proof, abrasion proof, and graffiti proof without lamination.

"Imagine cutting up a plain white candle into pieces. Take those pieces along with a red crayon and melt them in a pan. When the mixture cools, you can never remove the red coloring from the wax since it is suspended within it. Although simplified, this is how the Vinyl Express ColorLock System works," explains Christopher Gripp, President of Sign Warehouse. "Besides achieving incredible outdoor durability, what makes the system even better," Mr. Gripp continues, "is that you get vibrant, eye-popping color and a satin finish. Your prints just come alive with brightness!" The Vinyl Express ColorLock System, which uses both the FIRST media and curing unit, produces an encapsulation that makes colors look richer and more appealing.

Compatibility with the Vinyl Express ColorLock System extends to but is not limited to the VE PrismJET 720/1440* dpi 4-Color, VE PrismJET HI-FI 720/1440* dpi 6-Color, ColorSpan DisplayMaker 8- or 12-Color Printer, Encad Pro 50/60* Series, Graphtec SignJet Pro*, HP 2000/3000* Series, Roland HiFi Jet*, Mimaki JV2-130* and CalComp Summapaint*.
