Take a look at the inner workings of WallpaperInk and learn a bit more about how your photo wallpaper is made. This week we teamed up with Jean-Pierre's Bistro in Ramsey.
I've talked a lot on this blog about other people and other things, and we've had some great feedback from you over the last few weeks. It's not been going very long (it's my one month anniversary today...hooray!), but we've been through a huge range of topics. We've talked about the magnetic wallpaper featured on Channel 4's Gadget Man, we've looked at some beautiful Autumnal designs, and we've even looked at how you can wallpaper your stairs.
So I've decided as a bit of a birthday treat to let you see the inner belly of WallpaperInk, and have a look at exactly what it is we do.
We recently worked with Jean PIerre's Bistro in Ramsey on the Isle of Man. They're due to open in December, having renovated an old post office building. They're completely redecorating the whole place and I must say when it's finished it's going to look beautiful.
And we've had the pleasure of working with them designing their walls. With the grand opening not far away, they wanted something bold and inviting to really stand out. They're going for a brilliant tiled pattern all around the main restaurant, with each tile showing a different image. They came up with some fabulous designs, with a chic, French theme running throughout.
We don't simply choose an image and click print. Each image has to be cropped and resized in order for it to print in the same high quality you would expect. We make every effort to ensure each design is as clear and crisp as it can be. Every order is printed using a high-quality large format printer, and each print is carefully checked as it is printing to make sure there are no marks, ink blots, or tears.
Jean-Pierre's included some delicious food and drink dishes to be displayed all around the main bar and dining areas, which are almost definitely going to make your mouth water before you've even sat down. They've also introduced some local culture into their design with some of the tiles showing famous landmarks like Glen Maye and the Laxey Wheel, and they even have a tile of the Manx flag.
And if that's not enough, they even made sure to include a set of Christmas themed tiles to really get everyone in the festive mood.
Once a design is printed and has been left to dry, it is measured by hand to make sure it has the correct dimensions. The blank edges are then cut away leaving only your print. Each order is printed as standard with a small bleed on every side. This is to allow you to overlap the drops and cut away the excess, leaving you with a millimetre perfect wall design. Once everything is cut, the wallpaper is then carefully bubble-wrapped, rolled, and packaged, ready to be shipped off.
We really hope the team at Jean-Pierre's love their designs as much as we do. Hopefully we'll be able to bring you a few snaps of the opening night in a few weeks' time so we can show off the finished product. We'd like to wish them every success for the future, so from all of us here at WallpaperInk...
BONNE CHANCE!
