County Opens Library Number 31!

The San Bernardino County Library system opens its 31st branch, a joint-use library at the new Cal Aero Preserve Academy in Chino. The K-8 public school’s library serves students during school hours, and then opens to the public from 3:00 in the afternoon to 8:00 at night, Monday through Thursday, and on Saturday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Grand Opening took place on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 9:30 am. The new library is located at 15850 Main Street, just off Kimball Avenue, south of the Chino Airport.

Wall murals can be are produced on a variety of materials.  Depending on the space and surface to be mounted they range from wall papers to ceramic tiles.  Wall murals give depth and atmosphere to any space.

Printing options are available for almost any material up to 2 inches thick.  Rigid 4 foot x 8 foot panels of plywood, acrylics and PVC are available.  These panels are directly printed on a 6 foot by 10 foot flatbed printer.  Panels have been used as dividers for large spaces or mounted on existing walls.

For the best results adhesive material should be mounted to existing smooth surfaces. Where the background surface is irregular, rigid materials make the best presentation. Outdoor wall murals are directly printed on specially treated ceramic tile sets and installed in the same fashion as standard tiles.

The Huntington, in partnership with the Gamble House, USC, presents the most comprehensive exhibition ever undertaken on the work of Arts and Crafts legends Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene—the first such exhibition to travel outside of California.

B3DigiGrafx Museum Exhibit in Smithsonian from Pasadena CA

Kelly Sutherlin McLeod the principal of KSM contacted B3digiGrafx to provide graphics that would meet the strict requirements of the Huntington.  The graphic wall panels were to fit into the gallery space in Pasadena CA. without permeate fitting to the wall. The entire exhibit was designed to move to additional galleries with its final site in the Smithsonian.  Given the movable requirement along with budget constraints direct printing on styrene panels was the B3 solution.

Several 4’ x 8’ Sintra were printed on our flatbed HP FB6100 (Tempo) high resolution printer.

Panels were fitted to the museum gallery wall completing the “blueprint” effect desired by the exhibit designers. B3’s large format flatbed capability was critical in meeting all the demands of the project.

Similar to a large scale puzzle built to scale matching the interior architecture and the repositionable function to move these wall pieces to additional locations.

This exhibit was located in the Bandini Gallery. The exhibit featured architecture in the Los Angeles area. Kevin Murphy , Jessica Smith, Elizabeth Clingerman of The Huntington and Kelly Sutherlin McLeod of KSM Architecture were the inspiration behind the project.

After the successful completion of this exhibit, it was then moved to the Smithsonian Museum.

One of the best collections of US Made aircraft spanning the earliest days of aviation to the jet age resides at the Yanks Air Museum in Chino California. The aircraft are restored on-site to flying condition with special attention paid to the cockpit detail.

Christen Wright the museums curator commented the work from B3DigiGrafx; “The banners are fantastic, lots of great comments on them.  Your entire team really pulled it together for us on short notice.

Visit Yanks Air Museums website for more detailed information and some great photos of their collection.

There are several great examples of storied aircraft including a F86 just like the type flown by my godfather in Germany. As a youngster I visited his air National Guard group at Logan airport in late 50′s and sat in the cockpit of his aircraft.

The aircraft cockpits so meticulously restored were not easily viewed by museum visitors. The aircraft cockpits so meticulously restored were not easily viewed by museum visitors.  Fortunately high resolution photography of the cockpit panels was available.  The photos when printed on DecoTex fabric as banners nicely depict the interior details. The banners are displayed alongside the respective aircraft offering a richer experience for the aircraft enthusiast.

Prints were made on B3DigiGrafx DuPont Artistri at 720dpi producing vivid detail and color for an impressive display. Printed fabrics offer a rich soft presentation ideal for a museum quality presentation.

The Mission is owned and operated by California State Parks System. Exhibit Coordinator Don Amos working closely with JoAnne Culbertson chairwoman of the Prelado de los Tesoros Visitor Center Committee, which raised most of the $800,000 needed to design and build the exhibits. Six years in the making, the exhibit is one of the most extensive exhibit projects ever undertaken by California State Parks, according to a state spokesman.

B3DigiGrafx was fortunate to be selected as the print provider for the historic illustrations by David Rickman. Material was selected from the extensive array of fabrics available.

The DuPont Artistri was the ideal print format for the Rickman art. Design specifications for the unique banner frames were submitted to B3 ‘s fabrication team. This project was one of the last elements for the competition of the visitor’s center so meeting Don’s delivery was critical.

Don Amos California Parks Exhibit Coordinator for the visitors center project stated:

” I had a very tight budget and little time.  Ed and the crew at B3digigrafix did an outstanding job, delivered it early and under budget. Job well done! The banners absolutely made the La Purisima Mission Visitor Center. Everyone loves them.”
