9. How Will New Technical Skills Help Me In The Design Industry?

By studying the area of "vehicle wraps", I hope to obtain plenty of technical information about how the large format printers are used in the industry.

This information should include details:

• The software required to successfully create and output the prints required for vehicle wraps.
• Which printer is best for the types of prints I will need for vehicle wraps?
• The types of media that is used for printing onto and the best media for different applications.
• What other areas of business could a wide format printer allow me to move into?
• The inks that need to be used to achieve the most vivid colours and the longest lasting prints.
  
• Colour reproduction - will the finished prints appear correct and match standard colour references, eg. Pantone?
• The costings required to introduce this technology into my business.
• The anticipated profitability - both in terms of financial and time saving.
• New skills required to successfully apply the finished prints onto vehicles.
• Additional tools needed to apply the prints.
