Roland Announces Creative Awards Contest Winners

Roland DGA (Irvine, CA) has announced the winners of its Creative Awards Contest. The contest spanned the three weeks of August 11-29, with a new winner selected each week.
Honorees include:
• StickerCity (Sherman Oaks, CA), which crafted a holographic, multi-color chrome wrap for a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. The shop produced the wrap on a Roland SolJet Pro 4 XR-640 printer/cutter; according to Sticker City’s Andy Soleimani, carrying the pattern across multiple body panels required complex application with several material layers to create the final effect;
• Monster Image (Huntington Beach, CA), which blended more than 120 high-resolution photos from different angles to transform a mundane bathroom into a captivating room with a view that replicates the perspective atop a Copper Canyon, AZ cliff overlooking a creekbed below. Monster Image produced the wrap with a SolJet Pro 4 XR-640.
• SignCo (Vancouver, BC, Canada) produced a 14 x 44-ft., four-layer billboard that depicts an oversized octopus seemingly escaping its tank’s confines. The 3-D design, which was printed on a VersaArt RS-640 printer, extends the octopus’ tentacles beyond the sign’s borders.
“All of this year’s winning entries are great examples of what can be accomplished when imagination, skill and state-of-the-art, digital-printing technology are combined,” Rick Scrimger, Roland DGA’s president, said.
Roland DGA will pay each of the winner’s expenses to attend its imagiNATION™ 2014 user conference, which will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center on October 21, the day before the SGIA Expo begins.
