As you know, I recently spent a week on the West Coast. And if you didn’t already know, I loved it. The best part about it (other than the weather, the views, learning to tint, meeting with suppliers, etc.) was getting to meet several of you while I was out there and see what some […]
Last week I was fortunate enough to spend a few days traveling around the country meeting with window film suppliers, distributors and dealers. One of my stops was at Interwest Distribution Co.’s Anaheim, Calif., office where Dennis McMullin was kind enough to teach me a little bit about installing film. To start, the guy trusted […]
Editor’s Note: This is a guest blog from Tara Taffera who is a contributing editor for Window Film magazine and publisher/editor of its sister publication DWM magazine. If someone asks you what is your competitive advantage what do you say? You know you get this question often. I just received it the other day […]
Last week, I was fortunate enough to spend the week in—relatively—sunny and warm San Francisco while my poor officemates were stuck in a snowstorm (suckers). While I was there, I also got the chance to tour Alcatraz, the island which served as home to the infamous prison of the same name. While there wasn’t any […]
If you’ve seen the previews for the new Spike Jonze movie “Her” you know it’s about a man who falls in love with the voice on his phone. I’ll never be “Her.” Mostly because I’m not an animatronic Siri-like phone system, but also because it seems no one answers my calls. Similar to many of […]

“I know I keep saying it but I really mean it. Vinyl graphics are everywhere, and they’re definitely something to consider. While here at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, I’ve seen wraps on nearly every vehicle that isn’t covered in paint protection film. It’s a huge growth opportunity for anyone in the industry; graphics can be applied to buildings as well for companies that may only offer architectural services.” —Casey Neeley
As I’m writing this, I’m preparing to head to my first Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) Expo in Orlando, Fla. As you’re reading this, I’m likely walking the show floor. For the window film industry, SGIA offers many crossover opportunities in the specialty graphics, which include vinyl car wraps and printing accessories. This will mark […]
It takes a skillful staff to show up to an unfamiliar city in which you have to depend on local workers, ensure attendees are happy with the event, collaborate with others and plan to solve a variety of potential snags. Fortunately for Window Film magazine we have a great event team that works wonders when […]
