What is a paper pounce pattern?

Sign Painters have used pounce patterns for decades. Most notably as a way to transfer images, logos and lettering onto surfaces for hand painting.

Innovation and old school techniques

Even with all of today’s technologies sometimes it is still better to paint a job by hand. The painting will last longer and for some applications it is the only way to produce it in a cost-effective way.

Also, before inkjet printers, Sign Painters used this method for almost every kind of sign they produced from giant billboards to window lettering and small office signs.

Schools use our patterns to paint logos and mascots thru out there building. Also, paper pounce patterns make it easy to paint large wall murals, building signs, window lettering and floor logos.

The process for making and using a paper pounce pattern to hand paint logos and lettering.

For example, a school wants to paint their logo or mascot all over the school grounds, cinder block walls in the gymnasium, on the basketball court floor for a center faceoff circle logo.

1. The customer supplies the desired logo, wording or mascot in a digital file that is Vector. This means the file is a line file and not a bitmap or raster file.
2. Then the file is sized in graphic software to the finished size to be printed out. Also we include a grid pattern on this for easy alignment.
3. Next, we digitally print the file out on to the paper.
4. The image is perforated with an electric pounce that burns tiny holes in the paper that follow the image that was printed.
5. Then the paper pounce pattern is taken to the job site and positioned where you want to paint. Tape the pattern into position and use the chalk bags to tap on the pattern where the perforated holes are. Do this for the entire pattern making sure you do not miss an area. When you a re sure this has been done, remove the Paper Pounce Pattern.
6. There will be a ghost image from the chalk outlining your logo, lettering or mascot.
7. Finally, it is time to hand paint your graphics. Pattern can be reused so you can paint the same image on different surfaces.
