Chevron Convenience Store Commands Attention with 800 Square Feet of Sublimated Tiles

A Chevron located on Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach, CA recently cast away its ordinary gas station image for an artistic new look. The walls in the gas station/mini mart are now covered with 800 square feet of colorful sublimated tiles depicting a lagoon, a mountain sunrise and the Pacific Ocean located just a few short blocks away. Chevron selected these natural landscape graphics to create a comfortable atmosphere loaded with visual interest for customers seeking a quick purchase.

And while sublimation printing yields vibrant color and great durability, the technology is tough to master. Accordingly, the owners of this Chevron wisely turned the project over to one of the premiere sublimation shops in the business. Based in Santa Ana, CA, DAMCO has spent over 10 years developing new techniques for achieving extraordinary photorealistic results on a myriad of unique wide format sublimated materials. The innovative shop has sublimated graphics into everything from fine art reproductions to snowboards.

In addition to owning two Roland wide format inkjets and having color experts on staff, the shop actually designs and manufactures its own heat presses. Owner Craig Oakland used all of these advantages to produce some of the most brilliant and revolutionary sublimation graphics ever seen in a convenience store.
