LARGE FORMAT PRINTING


We made this Mini Billboard tarpaulin for our friend in New Jersey, Mr. Geirry Garcia, the first Filipino Animator, who animates "Ang Panday" and "Isko". Although we met briefly in Manila during his short stay here, Geirry became a friend thru the net. He requested us to make this project where we designed a 5X20 feet tarpaulin to be posted in a coliseum somewhere in New Jersey, two pieces of it. We hang it on the wall. It's huge! ! ! A design depicting modern day expression of our religious faith, which they are going to use in a concert. The cost of printing and designing in U.S. is a little bit expensive. Large print format printing in US are usually under contract with big companies, which print in volumes. If you are not a regular client, you have to queque, not to mention your transportation and representation expenses and the problems of following-up your order. We talked via internet did the lay-out, talk about the price, costing and sent it to a forwarder, who is also owned by our friend. It was delivered days prior to the scheduled concert. What is good with this arrangement is: all of us are decision makers and talks directly with each other via internet without much delay. That was three years ago. We are still friends to date doing projects from time to time.
