Big Picture - August 2019 - 36
We had to be
very cautious
printing to
make sure the
colors didn't
shift. The
installers were
so close to it,
they wouldn't
have noticed
until they got
down, which
would have
been a huge
issue.

THE CLIENTS
PRODUCTION
Iowa State University
Cyclone Sports Properties
Iowa State University Athletics and its management company
Cyclone Sports Properties tapped local PSP LRI Graphics
(lrigraphics.com) to tackle the job. Started in 2016 as an
offshoot of Laser Resources, Inc., a printing hardware supplier,
LRI Graphics is a family- and ISU alumni-owned shop with
established relationships among a number of major Iowa
companies through its Laser Resources origins. Having
worked with ISU since LRI's inception, the scoreboard project
"is, by far, our largest and most ambitious project with Iowa
State," says Thomas Lashier, LRI director of graphics
solutions. The process began in June, with printing and
installation occurring in October in between home games.
LRI printed 222 panels in two weeks using 3M Controltac
IJ180Cv3 film and an HP Latex 1500, painstakingly comparing
each panel to ensure there was no color shifting. "We knew we
had one shot to get this up, so we wanted to make sure everything
was absolutely perfect," Lashier adds. After lamination with 3M
Scotchcal 8519, each piece was packaged and labeled separately,
with installation taking two weeks - involving swing stages
and repelling 60 feet in the air. An athletic building is nestled
directly below the board, making lifts and cranes unfeasible.

THE JOB
In 2018, the field at Iowa State University's Jack Trice Stadium
was named MidAmerican Energy Field to honor the company's partnership in supporting a new Student-Athlete Performance Center. (Only the field was renamed - the stadium
continues to honor ISU's first African American athlete.) With
a new name comes new graphics - 5919 square feet of
scoreboard imagery, to be exact.
