Interview with Catalina Frank about the NEW Epson F-Series Dye Sublimation Printers

Aaron Montgomery of the 2 Regular Guys Podcast (also our Director of Sales and Marketing) got Catalina Frank from Epson America on the phone and asked her the below questions about the new dye-sublimation Epson-F Series printers.

  1. Why wide format sublimation? What’s the hype all about?
  2. What are the biggest draws to wide-format? Is it about higher-quality goods that you can sell at a higher price? Or is it more about generating volume in a more reasonable time?
  3. In what other markets is this technology being utilized? What industries has it seen the most success? Does this translate to the awards and apparel markets? How?
  4. When did this technology really start to take hold? What was the launching point that really set it up for gaining market share?
  5. What kind of lateral market opportunities does this open up? Do you think it’s a good or bad thing for businesses to become more of an all-encompassing “digital decorator” versus an apparel decorator or awards retailer? Why?

Instagram Friendly Products From ChromaLuxe

Why should you use ChromaLuxe?

ChromaLuxe is always on the cutting edge of HD sublimation metal printing. When you chose ChromaLuxe, you aren’t just choosing a product, you aren’t just choosing the longest lasting photo medium, you are choosing an industry leader.

What is Instagram?

Instagram is a photo sharing app and social network that more than one hundred million people use. How is sharing a photo on Instagram different from sharing a photo on Facebook? One word…filters. Instagram allows people to apply photo filters that make their digital photos look like  they were taken using  film.

Some other cool stuff about instagram:

  • Instagram has a very active demographic  of 16-19 year olds
  • More than 16 billion photos have been shared using Instagram
  • The majority of Instagram users are women

How you can use ChromaLuxe to make your mobile memories more memorable?

Having your cool and unique photos online is pretty convenient, but it would be a shame to just have them stay there.  Your photos need to be out in the real would where they can shine .

ChromaLuxe ‘s Instagram friendly items allow you and mix your artsy photos with one of 3 beautiful finishes.  (White Gloss, Clear Gloss, and White Matte)

Print your photos ChromaLuxe’s 4×4 or 5×5 metal plates or on Switchcase’s  iPhone 5 cases and inserts.

What are some things that will help me get started?

You can use hashtags on Instagram, so it’s a good idea to read about hashtag dos and don’ts .
