To Infinity and Beyond! Celebrating 25 Years of Big Ideas.

This month is a special one for us. February 2025 marks 25 years since Infinity Images was founded. Our story is one of adaptation: from making topographic maps in a small basement laundry room to printing thousands of square feet of large-format graphics in a single day. 

Infinity Images' origins can be traced to a company under another name and field of work. Spencer B. Gross, Inc. was founded in 1956 to introduce aerial photogrammetry to the Pacific Northwest. A visionary in his field, Spencer Gross realized the value of combining aerial images with ground surveys to provide mapping quicker and at a lower cost than traditional methods of map-making. In 1986, Spencer retired, and his son George took over the company as owner and CEO. Thirteen successful years later, George acquired a LightJet large-format digital photographic printer and everything changed. Join us as we look back on the important moments over the last 25 years that made Infinity Images what it is today.

2000
2002

We added a Durst Lambda 130 photographic printer to the mix. This printer was nearly four times as fast as the LightJet and allowed us to more than double our printing capacity.

2003

With the purchase of an 8-foot-wide vinyl banner Mimaki printer, Infinity Images ventured into the solvent-based, outdoor graphics market (i.e., banners and vehicle wraps).

2005

We moved from a 6,000-square-foot facility toa 25,000-square-foot facility, allowing us topurchase new and larger equipment.

2006

To date, we had always printed on rolls and then mounted the material. The purchase of a Flatbed Vutek Inkjet printer enabled us to print directly onto rigid substrates for the first time.

2006

The addition of our first Zund cutter fundamentally transformed our production workflow. Previously, we’d printed on roll substrates and mounted to pre-cut sheets that had been cut on a panel saw. This purchase allowed us to digitally cut graphics that had been printed directly onto sheets.

2007

Infinity Images retired its Lightjet 5000 and replaced it with a Durst Lambda 131 Plus.This newer model was over seven times faster than the Lightjet.

2007

In response to our clients’ growing interest in sustainability, we began offering eco-friendly materials.

2011

After retiring our last photographic printer, the Lambda 131 Plus, we were also able to sunset our chemical processor. This completed our transition to inkjet printers and paved the way to an eco-friendlier printing process.

2011

Infinity Images became a Certified Sustainable Printing Facility through the Sustainable Green Printing (SGP) Partnership program.

2012

We added the first Durst Rho 1000 in the Pacific Northwest. The Rho printed directly to rigid substrates and roll-stock at the industry’s fastest rate, expanding our printing capacity six-fold.

2012

To complement our new large-format printer, we upgraded to a 10.5-foot-wide Zund XL3200 cutter. This machine allowed us to transition frommanually creating cut files and placing registration marks to an automated digital registration system. It also gave us the ability to cut large banners digitally instead of by hand.

2013

Infinity Images added the first large-format dye-sublimation printer (PrinterEvolution Evo33)and heat-transfer machine (Monti Antonio 901 Calender) in the Northwest. These purchases allowed us to begin producing fabric graphics.

2013

After years of design support, we founded a multidisciplinary design department that specialized in custom 3D environmental, industrial, graphic, and production design projects.

2014

We expanded our production floor and warehouse to its current size — 58,000 square feet — and reached 50 full-time staff members.

2014

Infinity became the first company in the world to install the Durst Rho 312 roll-printer with white-ink capability. This printer produced roll-stock banners, adhesive vinyl stock, thin plastic-based roll stock, and paper roll stock.

2015

Our engineering department was founded in response to clients’ increasing requests for 3D builds.

2015

We added a second Zund XL3200 cutter to accommodate increased production volume.

2017

A Durst Rho 1312 replaced the Rho 1000. This upgraded model had an improved ink set, smaller drop size, and equal speed. Our Rho 1312 has enabled us to print millions of square feet per year, and we still use it today!

2017

The addition of a swissQprint Nyala2 enabled us to begin printing layered inks (e.g., color, white, color) so that different graphics can be seen from each side of a clear material — a game changer!

2017

We acquired a Vytek L-Star Laser cutter and began offering engraving, relief engraving, etching, and laser cutting services of materials including wood, acrylic, cardstock, metals, and leather.

2017

Our digital cutting game leveled up again with the addition of our Biesse RoverPlast CNC! Still in use today, the CNC routes wood, composite materials, cardboard, plastics, and aluminum up to 1/8” thickness. It also gave us the ability to produce 3D carvings and effects.

2018

We replaced the PrinterEvolution Evo33 dye-sublimation printer with a PrinterEvolution T3200. The T3200 uses heat to transfer dye onto polyester-based fabric materials — ideal for SEGs, backdrops, banners, curtains, and upholstery.

2018

The addition of our COMPACK EVO box maker enabled us to begin producing custom shipping boxes perfectly sized to safely transport our clients’ graphics.

2019

In response to increasingly complex installation needs, we founded a dedicated, full-time installation team.

2019

Infinity Images became a licensed commercial contractor in Oregon and Washington. This allowed us to work in construction zones,enabling us to expand our business into environmental projects.

2021

We became the first 3M™ Certified Graphics Installation Company in Oregon and SW Washington. This achievement meant that our install team met the highest industry standards in DI-NOC™ architectural finishes, windows, walls, floors, and fleet graphic installation.

2022

Our first LED UV printer, the Durst P5 350, replaced our Durst Rho 312. The P5 350 is more energy efficient and allows for printing on heat sensitive materials. Additionally, its tiny drop size of 7 picoliters and high resolution of 900x1200dpi make for superior image quality.

2023

A Durst P5 TEX iSUB replaced our PrinterEvolution T3200. This upgrade gave us the highest productivity in the industry for high-quality, large fabric graphics. It also features paperless inline sublimation, meaning it prints and sublimates direct-to-fabric, reducing waste.

2023

Most recently we purchased a swissQprint Kudu, becoming the first in the US to boast an industrial large-format flatbed printer with 10 colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, orange, neon yellow, neon pink, white, primer, and varnish). The Kudu replaced our swissQprint Nyala2.
