Corn Hole Anyone?
Not all of our print jobs are trade show signage or banner prints. Because the Legend 72 HUV printer can print on almost any surface, we’ve been able to try some cool things and make some pretty neat stuff.
In fact, one surprise market has been the popularity of printing on plywood for customized corn hole games (also known as tailgate tosses). It’s great, clients come in with a design or a request and we can make a custom 2×4 plywood panel for as little as $150.
We used to play this game for fun at family events, but it turns out people are actually pretty serious about corn hole. Did you know the American Cornhole Association sanctions Cornhole tournaments across the country? They’re everywhere.

Tough Times in the Sign Company Industry – What You Should Do Now
I know that times are tough, the economy is down and businesses and organizations aren’t ordering as many signs or print jobs.
But, it’s when a dollar is harder to come by that you have to be innovative and competitive enough to really stay at the forefront of your industry.
The Legend 72 HUV’s Bottom Line
The biggest selling point behind the Legend 72 HUV Wide Format UV Printer, the REAL bottom line…
..it increases production and decreases costs.
In fact, it typically lowers printing cost by between 50 to 80% – imagine how that would boost your margins!
With the Legend 72, you can print directly on the material – meaning you don’t have to pay for the labor needed to affix your graphic to the sign or the overlamination material.
You save on both man-hours and materials.
Trickle Down Efficiency
And while the Legend 72 is a major investment, there’s a definite trickle down effect for your business. That increased production capacity means you can now cut personnel hours during leaner times or amp up production and take on more jobs with employees who can now do twice as much.
You can even transform your business – taking your basic print or vinyl sign shop and turning it into a full-service, hyper-competitive sign and print shop. Take on jobs that you had to turn down before or pitch even bigger projects.
The best part is you can do it all with a printer that’s as simple to use as a basic desktop unit.
