Drytac ViziPrint adds vibrancy to highlight Courageous heARTS' charitable cause
Drytac has donated its ViziPrint Impress media to support Courageous hearts, a Minneapolis based charity, by creating a fantastic window display for its youth workshop.
Courageous heARTS is a non-profit organisation in the USA with the aim of offering a safe space for young people to create art, network and develop into leaders. The organisation was originally founded by Lindsay Walz in 2013 who survived the shocking 2007 35W Bridge collapse. Lindsay discovered that art helped her in her journey to heal. The vision of Courageous HeArtS is to offer a safe space for young people to fully express themselves through art.
In March 2018, Drytac’s reseller Stand Dynamics and local print business Image360 partnered together to sponsor a storefront makeover to support the Courageous heARTS’s charitable causes. Their mission is to ‘create, connect and lead’. The previously anonymous storefront space has now been transformed with bright graphics.
The window’s graphics were printed on Drytac ViziPrint Impress PET film and incorporates artwork that was created by Courageous heARTS members. The film is easy to apply and remove, it is suitable for application onto glass, acrylic and other non-porous surfaces. It is perfect for applying onto glass, acrylic and other non-porous surfaces. It is suitable for creating high quality graphics for retail storefronts, pop and backlit displays, privacy and decorative glass applications and more.
Lindsay Walz, the founder of Courageous HeARTS is “thrilled” with the new display. She comments: “We have experienced an increase in foot traffic since the new signs were put up and the name recognition we have developed within the community is now connected to our physical space. The storefront now demonstrates the same vibrant energy that everyone experiences inside the colourful studio space.”

Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
