ABOUT BIG WALL GRAPHICS
BIG WALL GRAPHICS are quite literally 'larger-than-life' (with customer-selected sizes ranging from twelve inches to seven feet tall!), and are printed with eco-solvent digital inks on a state-of-the-art self-adhesive fabric paper, with fabric actually woven between the matte presentation layer and the repositionable adhesive substrate. BIG WALL GRAPHICS can be moved 100 times without losing adhesion or leaving a residue, and are safe to apply over wallpaper and will actually stick to brick or concrete. BIG WALL GRAPHICS will not leave a mark or harm walls, and they don't require a hairdryer or heat gun for installation and re-positioning. Nor do they require assembly or connecting multiple smaller prints - all BIG WALL GRAPHICS are printed as a SINGLE contour-cut graphic for seamless installation. BIG WALL GRAPHICS are NOT printed on vinyl, which has a tendency to curl, peel, and crack, and leaves a residue behind which can damage many surfaces. Although vinyl has emerged as the nascent industry standard for wall graphics (presumably because it is so much cheaper to mass-produce), LTLprints has elected to print exclusively on a patent-pending premium self-adhesive fabric paper.
"We tested every combination of materials that are currently available, and selected the optimal media solution for aesthetics, durability, value, and ease of installation," according to Carsten Petzold, co-founder of LTL PRINTS. "The production technologies we use to create BIG WALL GRAPHICS are quite literally state-of-the-art, and we are excited to combine NEW ART with this amazing NEW MEDIUM."
ABOUT START MOBILE iPHONE APPLICATIONS
The BIG WALL GRAPHICS MOBILE ART GALLERY is START MOBILE's 19th mobile art application to be approved for the iPhone.
START MOBILE art gallery applications feature exclusive images created by the world's premier artists + designers, delivered as mobile wallpapers directly to the picture library of the iPhone. All the art wallpapers are optimized for mobile display, and the images included in the galleries can be 'flipped' to reveal additional information about the respective artists. START MOBILE gallery applications for the iPhone also include a unique PICTURE FRAME feature. Simply tap the PLAY icon on the toolbar, and the iPhone is transformed into a digital picture frame which cycles through every image in the gallery at five-second intervals. The START MOBILE PICTURE FRAME over-rides the auto-lock setting so users can enjoy an arty slideshow while the iPhone is docked and charging.
