“Over the course of two months, our team painstakingly reviewed old archived records and assets to recreate the legendary scheme via vinyl graphics,” Ink Monstr CEO Jon White says. “Because the scheme was from the ’60s, there are no readily available vector graphics, so everything was recreated and digitized from historical photographs, articles, and videos.”

 
While many products played a role in the historic recreation, the HP Latex 800 W large format printer was selected as the aircraft vinyl wrap solution. The team imaged 2800 square feet of 3M 2080 vinyl and 3M Controltac IJ180Cv3 film on HP’s large format printer and wrapped the entire plane in a gloss white base. With its ability to print the whitest white² as well as leverage sustainable, water-based HP Latex inks and odorless prints without hazardous air pollutants³, the HP Latex 800 W printer was the perfect airplane vinyl wrap solution.
 
The famous Bardahl Special was unveiled and raced once again to the delight of aviation race fans. “Our team is proud to have restored a piece of aviation history to its fans to be enjoyed and relived,” says White.
