Wallpaper Guy

Well unfortunately I missed a field trip, which was about stone, which would have been much cooler.

However, we did have a guy come from a wallpaper manufacturer, and unfortunately I'm too slow to even remember his name, or the business...

That being said, it was a pretty neat presentation, and the sales rep. was dressed really snazzy. I was seriously envious of his glasses. They were dope.

He showed us a lot of samples. It was really neat to see all of the ways that wall paper manipulated so they had different textures and color palettes, and it seemed really similar to an actual fabric material.
To be fair, both of them do some sort of screen printing, so they can't be too different, right?

He taught us about the different backings that were available for the wallpapers, which was interesting. I didn't realize you needed different backings to achieve different printing techniques.

I learned that wallpaper comes in a wide array of colors and styles, as well as price ranges. Again, I really liked the presentation, and I wish I could remember the company name. Ah well, Cest la vie.
