Mimaki USA, a leading manufacturer of wide format inkjet printers and cutters, today announced its SMART (School of Mimaki Application and Resource Training) Vinyl Wrap for Beginners course schedule for 2014.
The course is offered in conjunction with 3M Commercial Graphics. 3M Preferred Graphics Installers will teach the three-day class that covers classroom review of the different types of digital media, tools and best practices for installation. The majority of the course is spent in the Mimaki regional technology center where participants will experience hands-on training including vehicle wrapping and removal techniques; smooth and textured wall wrapping; floor graphics; and glass wrapping applications using 3M vinyl media.
In addition to valuable experience from 3M installers, every participant will receive a Pro Install Kit that includes all necessary tools and materials for a quick start once they return to their shops.
First SMART Vinyl Wrap Class a Success
The pilot SMART Vinyl Wrap for Beginners class was held February 11-13, 2014, in Suwanee, Georgia. The small class size contributed to a positive learning experience for everyone.
“This class was awesome. I’m leaving with more confidence in my skills,” said Zack Morgan, Signs First Nashville.
“Very thorough and the small class size was excellent. I learned a lot, and the [Mimaki] staff and [3M] instructors were very kind,” said Mark Walton, Galaxy Graphics Printing.
