Ron Levine, owner of SpeedPro Imaging Cleveland East, had worked for American Greetings in Cleveland for over twenty-three years, but he had grown weary of the corporate world and was looking to “become his own boss.” At American Greetings, his territories included many local schools, museums, hotels, and community organizations, so he was already familiar with the graphics needs of these markets.

Today Levine’s company has worked on a variety of interesting graphic-related projects, such as transforming a movie theater for a corporate event that had to be installed and removed within eight hours. Levine also did graphics for the Josh Lindblom Foundation, an organization that promotes awareness and raises funds for families and children in need of financial support.

“We can wrap almost anything, including ATM machines; walls, windows, and floors; elevators; and casino games,” he says. “Our vehicle graphics have been installed on everything from very small cars to high-end sports cars, police cars, and fifty-three-foot-long trailers.” The shop makes its graphics come to life through the use of Roland eco-solvent inkjet printers along with a cutting plotter and laminating and mounting equipment. Levine loves working on unique projects and helping provide that “Wow!” factor through their graphics. “We have used reflective vinyl, metallic vinyl, carbon fiber vinyl, and of course, premium wrap vinyl,” he says. signshop.com
