MyPRINTResource.com Source One Digital participated in the grand opening of new NHL Chicago Blackhawks fan store on Michigan Avenue, Chicago in October 2014. The project involved a variety of in-store graphics, including backlits, window graphics, display signage, and more.

Adding in the additional 10 shops (for this year’s Top 50) we had 147 locations. While most shops had only a handful of locations— ranging from one to four— nine of our Top 50 list have five or more locations, with Richardson, TXbased Thomas Printworks topping out with 25. New York-based Diadeis GSG has 17 locations, Innomark Communications has 10, Duggal Visual Solutions and reproHAUS boasted seven locations, while Sharpe Images and Color Reflections Las Vegas boast six a piece, and Coloredge has five. Additionally, the Top 50 Shops have plans to open up 14 new locations in 2015, up from last year’s projected number. The Top Shops offer a range of capabilities and services, both color and black-and-white graphics. This year, 44.05 percent of the shops offer color-only graphics (no monochrome) down from last year’s 52.38 percent. The remaining 55.95 percent of shops offer both color and black-and-white graphics to their customers. As an average, 54.98 percent of the top shops’ output is wide-format (36-96 inches in width). Grand-format (96-inches plus) grabs the next largest share with 21.94 percent. Medium-format (24-35 inches) has 14.72 percent of the share, leaving small-format (14-inches and smaller documents) the remaining 8.35 percent.
