Wonderful Pistachios Partial Wrap

Here’s another great partial-wrap we had the pleasure of executing. This 2010 Toyota Prius had a lot of challenging body lines and tight spaces to work in, but it was certainly rewarding to see the final product. This is a great example of a partial wrap. Very sharp looking vehicle.

You may have seen the commercials for Wonderful Pistachios, but just in case you haven’t heard of them, here’s a TV spot for you to enjoy. Get Crackin’!

Optimized File Transfers.

Files can be transfered in many ways.

• Email: Convenient, but limited when it comes to large file sizes.
• FTP: Traditional large-file transfer method.
• HTTP: Web based uploads are becoming the latest. Implementing forms and additional data fields, etc.

Regardless of your preference, you have to take care that your files get there in good time and in an orderly fashion.

Generally, you’ll want to collect, document, and compress.

1. Collect. Gather all your files together, in one folder.
2. Document. Take note of your filenames and document the filenames with their corresponding job specs.
3. Compress. Streamline the whole process by compressing (zip, sit, gzip, etc) your files into one neat package. This protects your files, and makes the upload quicker.

If you follow these steps, you can be confident that your files will arrive in style.

Our file uploads are handled via HTTP. You can go there with your web browser (files.highresolutions.com).

Frosted Windows for Circle Spring

Etched Glass Vinyl (Frosted Vinyl) is often a great solution for obscuring the line-of-sight to offer privacy, while maintaining an open feel. Robin Easter Design came to us with a store front design for their neighbor, CircleSpring. It was very nicely designed. The President of CircleSpring, Elaine Seat, PhD., was ecstatic. Good work for good people. Here’s some pics. Note the light-catching behavior of the etched-glass vinyl from inside.

Tree Silhouettes – American Cancer Society 2009 Gala

Recently we met with The Tombras Group about cutting tree silhouettes from wood. We used our CNC Router table to cut the furniture grade plywood they provided us. They painted and installed, completing the project spot on. The results were very cool. Here’s a few pics. Enjoy!

Snow Leopard – To Upgrade or not?

Okay, so I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. The Mac’s latest and greatest OS upgrade. I didn’t do my research. That’s the way things go with me usually. I don’t read about them too much, I just get an understanding of them, then dive right in.

My initial impression? Not a whole lot of functional differences. Just some refinements to the gui.

Cons? It no longer supports Appletalk!!! This is a biggie. Especially for a print-based business such as High Res. So, now I’m stuck figuring out how to make all my printers and my Mac coexist peacefully. Pray for me. I’m really going to need it.

Can I recommend it to you? I’m not sayin’ just yet.
