Avery Dennison, in conjunction with Mutoh America, will offer
ten car wrap training sessions around North America in 2011 as
part of its Car Wrap Training Program. Master installer Justin
Pate will teach the classes using Avery Dennison's vehicle wrap
materials, MPI 1005 Supercast Easy Apply RS, with Avery DOL
overlaminates.
"We had an exceptional response to our joint vehicle wrap
training program with Mutoh in 2010," said Paul Roba. "We're
building on that success and tailoring this year's program to
serve the needs of the growing wrap business."
Justin Pate, a globally recognized graphic installer, will
teach all of the wrap classes utilizing Avery MPI 1005 Easy
Apply RS, a popular choice with installers because it is easy
to use and quick to install with excellent printability.
"Over my 15-year career, I have wrapped more than 2,500
vehicles," said Pate. "I developed my Universal Graphics
Installation System (UGIS) as a result of that experience. UGIS
is a fluid, easy-to-learn installation system that reduces
mistakes and ensures quality, resulting in significantly lower
install times."
The Avery / Mutoh Car Wrap Training Program is designed to
provide wrap installers with an in-depth understanding of
graphic installation techniques to gain a competitive advantage
in the vehicle wrap industry.
As a sponsor of the 2011 Car Wrap Training Program, Mutoh will
provide printed graphics with their Mutoh ValueJet 1614-64.
This printer is the "Wrapper's Choice" for speed, size and
quality. It includes the i2: Intelligent Interweaving Print
Technique, a dot control system that virtually eliminates
banding and increases quality of output.
The workshop consists of two days of training and an optional
third day for a wrap certification test. Training sessions
will focus on all of the critical steps needed to improve the
quality and speed of car wrap installations. Class sizes will
be maintained at a maximum of 15 students to allow for more one
on one teaching.
The subjects that will be covered
include:
- Tools
- Properties of the film
- Removals
- Cleaning
- UGIS: Universal Graphic Installation System
- Layout/Key Panel
- Registration
- Problem Solving
- Hardware Removals
