An artist's life is no easy path, and most accept the likelihood that a lifetime of work may never achieve recognition. That's what makes the career of Javier Mariscal so remarkable. This Spanish artist has found success in a myriad of genres, including furniture design, painting, interior design, film, and sculpture; he's published books, a cartoon series, a skateboard collection, and even designed children's shoes for the company Camper.
His quirky comic character, Cobi, the loveable sheepdog, was chosen for the 1992 Olympic Games Mascot and recognized as the most profitable mascot in the history of the modern games. He has designed several covers for the New Yorker, created the giant lobster sculpture next to Barcelona's port, and his animated movie Chico and Rita was nominated for an Academy Award.
Since the beginning days of digital art, Mariscal has been involved with fine art printing.
"I lived digital printing technology, and I saw how it developed," says Mariscal, who prints on an HP DesignJet Z3200ps Printer. Mariscal trusts HP Matte Litho-realistic Paper, 3-in Core, to print his fine art posters.
"The quality of the fine art printing is like a dream come true," he says. "We have tested many papers and decided on HP Matte Litho-realistic Paper. With this paper, I can be assured of the quality."
Mariscal is creating an original drawing to celebrate 150 years of the Port of Santander in Spain to be printed 60-feet-long. "I have peace of mind that when the graphic is printed, it will be spectacular," he says. Mariscal prints on HP Matte Litho-realistic Paper for his online print sales, too. Its environmental certifications are a critical factor in his choice.
Visit his online shop at mariscalstore.com to see his charming, humorous designs that contrast with their underlying social commentary. Offer your customers the quality they can trust: HP Fine Art Printing Materials.

Increasing online sales should be a top goal for print providers and resellers alike, but it’s a little like shooting a hole in one – it looks easier than it is. According to a study by Forrester, 71% of consumers begin their buyer’s journey with the search bar, so it’s important to build an online store in a way that matches search engine standards.*
Here are 4 simple tips for novice web developers:
1. Optimize product listings
Product listings are the most important pieces of content on your web page. It's where users learn about your product and decide to buy. Use product descriptions that double as keywords for search engine ranking but don't overstuff your page, as this is a frowned-upon practice known as keyword stuffing. Write unique product descriptions for each product as search engines hate duplicate content.
2. Create SEO with relevant, interesting content
Another way to include keywords on your site is longer content format such as landing pages, blogs, and case studies. Include articles that cover helpful industry and technical information so Google will find answers to user questions on your page. If you include photos or images, rename them with relevant keywords in the file name so the image will also rank.
3. Promote your site
Invest in Google ads to send interested customers to your site. Although social media doesn’t help with search engine ranking, it can still help to drive traffic and create an online community where you can interact with your customers and build loyalty.
4. Use web analytics and search console
Get insights on how your users interact with your website with the free Google Analytics tool, including which page generates the most signups, link clicks, customer demographics, and more. Google Search Console can help monitor the keywords your pages are ranking for and alert you for technical errors on your page.

The Space Needle is undoubtedly one of Seattle's most iconic landmarks. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, its 605-foot-tall, futuristic observation tower resembles a flying saucer on a stick. The tower's round observation deck offers spectacular views of the city and surrounding mountain ranges. Built in a remarkable 400 days, it receives more than a million visitors annually and is the most popular tourist attraction in the Northwest.
For all the landmark's signage needs, Marketing Director Randy Cote turned to HP Media.
For directional/health compliance signage, check-in signage, window graphics, and special events, the marketing department prints in-house, choosing HP Removable Adhesive Fabric.
"HP Removable Adhesive Fabric works great on glass and is easy to put up and peel off cleanly," notes Cote. "And we can change out event information quickly and easily, and of course this is important for all the new compliance rules. The Space Needle was the first tourist attraction to open in Seattle after the pandemic. The information for Covid restrictions changed constantly; using the HP Removable Adhesive Fabric made everything so much easier to change."
The marketing team also uses HP Premium Vivid Color Backlit Film for outdoor box light signage and HP Universal Instant-dry Satin Photo Paper for large, framed signs and hanging art.
Cote sees a big shift towards environmentally conscious products — HP Removable Adhesive Fabric's REACH compliance certification was a factor in his choice.

The Northern Ostrobothnia Museum is a cultural history museum in Oulu, Finland that resembles a medieval castle. Its walls tell many stories of the culture and history of the region. These stories are enhanced by the use of printed wall graphics, exhibits, and displays.
Paavo Hiltunen, Museum Curator, uses large format printing to inspire and educate visitors. He uses an HP Latex 365 to print everything from A5 sheets of artwork to wall murals. Recently, he printed 10 ft. tall images of the painter Vilho Lamme on HP PVC-free Wall Paper and HP Removable Adhesive Fabric.
"We chose HP PVC-free Wall Paper because of its ease-of-use and low price. We also used HP Removable Adhesive Fabric for the first time. Previously, the artwork was printed on vinyl and laminated. I had my doubts that the HP Removable Adhesive Fabric would stay on painted walls, but to my surprise, the graphics adhered perfectly, and the edges did not peel up," says Paavo. "When it was time to remove the graphics, they came up cleanly."
"We are switching to HP media from now on due to printer compatibility and the low price. We have found that an HP printer with HP inks and HP printing materials guarantees success."
Museum graphics can be a profitable niche for PSPs and a good source of repeat business with changing exhibitions. Museums are economic engines and are estimated to contribute $50 billion to the U.S. economy alone every year. *
HP has a wide range of media to fill all museum print needs. Visit us at HPLFMedia.com.
