Engineering the Largest UV Wood Print Ever Produced
We are officially kicking off "The Master Series: Engineering 2026"—a year-long look at the most ambitious builds leaving our Riverside facility.
Project 01 is a record-breaker. Working alongside the visionary Paul Clemente and the Coachella Art Production team, we transformed the legendary "Welcome to Indio" artwork by Emek Studios into a 32-foot structural masterpiece for the 2026 festival.
To our knowledge, this is the Largest UV Wood Print ever produced. Spanning 448 square feet across 14 massive panels of industrial birch, this was a high-stakes challenge that required "zero-error" execution to meet the world-class standards of the Coachella desert stage.
The Heart of the Build: While we’re proud of the scale, this project is personal. Paul and Emek are long-time friends, and when they hand us a vision of this magnitude, it’s about more than just printing—it’s about protecting the integrity of their art. We obsessed over every color calibration and every panel alignment to ensure the finish was exactly what they envisioned for such an iconic installation.
The Specs:
-
32ft Wide x 14ft High: 14 precision-engineered 4x8’ panels.
-
Substrate: White-coated birch built for the harsh desert sun.
-
Energy: 100% Solar-Powered production here in Riverside.
This project defines the intersection of fine art and industrial engineering. When you care this much about the people behind the work, you don't just "print" it—you make it part of history.
Stay tuned for Project 02 as we continue to document the stories behind our biggest builds of the year.
