"Commerce Color was fabulous to work with..."
- Catherine Severson, Principal at Q Studio in Chicago
“Commerce Color was fabulous to work with,” says Severson. “From the first time I talked to them, they understood what we were trying to do.
Unique Technical Challenges
The project presented some unique technical challenges: Q Studio worked closely with Milliken’s in-house design group in designing the wall murals, which depicted carpet patterns from Milliken’s line.
There was some difficulty translating Milliken’s electronic files to print accurately on the wall covering material. Milliken's designers were used to preparing files to print on a carpet. Carpet is more absorbent than vinyl, so the original files had to be adjusted and tweaked to print accurately as vinyl wall murals.
"The final product looked fabulous ..." - Catherine Severson, Principal at Q Studio in Chicago
Severson had high praise for Commerce Color: “They were able to guide us through the process, coaching the graphics group on how to translate their carpet patterns into custom wallpaper. We went through many rounds of samples to get the color right and Commerce Color was so patient with us. The final product looked fabulous and Milliken has had countless inquiries about the wallcovering.”
