Printing for the Community

All over the country, there are companies that offer digital picture printing services, but none of them can compare with the hospitality that Pixus provides in Lafayette, LA. One thing that Pixus prides themselves on is the support they show to local universities such as the University of Louisiana of Lafayette and their sports teams, namely the Ragin' Cajuns. Any banner you may see around Cajun Field came from Pixus' wide format copiers in a facility not even two minutes from the field. Their wide format copiers exceed any copier you'll probably see in your life. With the expertise of the people of Pixus' digital picture printing services, not a pixel will be missed on the finished product. Everything will look defined and be finished correctly.
 
Other digital picture printing services include custom vinyl banners. If you've been to Lafayette in the past month or so, you may have noticed the many Ragin' Cajuns banners hanging around the city because the Louisiana-Lafayette football team is doing amazing. Pixus is responsible for creating all the banners around town which, if you would see them, is an impressive feat. Pixus’ digital picture printing services are under warranty for five years, but typically last much longer thanks to 3MTM technology. Five years is twice the usual life expectancy of most paints, as well as other traditional applications. Their wide format copiers can do amazing things, given the right users.
 
Another way that Pixus serves their community is creating wall murals in venues like the Louisiana-Lafayette college, coffee shops, and even the Wesley ministry center. The wide format copiers used at Pixus are the only printers in town capable of producing the picture quality needed for a smooth wall mural. One place that you'll be able to find the work of Pixus is, oddly enough, the McDonald's across the street from campus. Behind the drink machine, there is a massive mural dedicated exclusively to ULL sports. Pretty amazing to look at, especially when you are just getting a drink.

Pixus Digital Printing is a true, red-blooded southern Louisiana company that owes its success to the interest in the community and local universities. Their wide format copiers and other digital picture printing services are available to anyone in the community, student or business owner, who wants to truly stand out amongst a crowd. Every dollar they make they spend improving services and increase the efficiency of how they are able to serve you.

How can color printing help me?
 

Color printing is business signs, fabric banners, point of purchase displays, and wall murals are some of the biggest uses for it. Book printing, personal photos, and billboards are also done using the same technologies. So if you are wanting small to fit in your wallet or big enough for a plane to carry it, you need small or large format color printing.
