UK-based Greenshires (greenshires.com) was selected to produce special-edition drum wraps for heavy-metal band Iron Maiden, executing the work using its HP Scitex FB7500 press, onto PETG. “When printing drum wraps, the challenge is ensuring the ink adheres without cracking on the substrate,” explains Greenshires’ Marc Wolfe. “We came up with the idea of ‘reverse printing’ on the back of the media – to prevent the wraps from getting scratched with extensive or rough use.” In addition to printing wraps for Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBain’s personal drums on four world tours, Greenshires also produced 500 sets of 11 “Ed Til I’m Dead” drum wraps for re-sale by Premier Music International.
