Personal Bio
I am an Electronics Engineer and 25 Year veteran of the sign industry. I came into it from repairing large format printers and electronic devices. I purchased my first vinyl sign shop in 1996 and by 1998 had done my first van wrap. I have owned and managed several shops over the years and designed, engineered, fabricated, and installed hundreds of signs including Monument signs with EMCs, Channel Lettering, Wraps, Pylon and pretty much any other type of signage.
Since 2007 I have been doing support and repair in the industry for CNC & Large Format machinery and software support & Color Profiling for most software used in our daily workflows. I have trained many in the use of Flexi, Enroute and Vehicle Wraps. I am still daily doing installs of wraps, signs, and Anti-Graffiti film. Adept at wrap design and install using multiple software programs. Currently run Xante’, Colex, Seiko/Oki, Epson, HP and Mimaki devices.

Chris was very patient and extremely helpful in explaining how our new-to-us Mimaki cutter works. He worked through a couple issues I was having with contour cutting and I’m well on my way to getting these dialed in.
Chris is a pro and really knows his stuff. And I’m sure this won’t be the last time Chris and I have a chat via Adendo!

I highly recommend Chris. He got us a good ways down the road to fixing a major color issue on the flexi interface with our HP Z5200. He is filled to the brim with valuable color information! The solution to the puzzle we set up the session to solve is unfortunately still a mystery. If anyone has printed a sheet-fed job through flexi to a HP Z5200 I would love for you to contact Adendo. This is our first experience with Adendo and I am thrilled that we have found this support resource.

Chris Kennedy came down to our office and has exceeded our expectations in helping our team be more efficient in time management on wrapping and in designing these wraps! Within a week after having Chris here, our team is more confident working with the vinyl and has shown a huge improvement with productivity!! We are very pleased and happy we made the choice to have this onsite training!

ENROUTE TRAINING
TRAINING WAS VERY GOOD.
Great Experiance!
Chris showed us many new short cuts and helped us with some new templates. He was easy to understand and follow along with. I would highly recommend this training.
Software training combined with best practices on OUR equipment!
Adendo has it figured out! Software training combined with best practices on OUR equipment!
The Sussex County Sign Shop has been using Flexi for 5 years. Chris was able to train staff new to sign making as well as offer tips and tricks to our established staff. Everyone learned something after our 3 days of onsite training. Chris’s ability to maximize our production of Traffic Signs in Flexi, while providing tips and best practices on our equipment was unique. Not once did Chris say we were doing something wrong or that we needed a new piece of equipment. Some technical highlights were; getting Traffic Sign colors true, creating custom sign layouts, image vectoring, improving radiuses on sign borders and a tutorial on the tools in Flexi we weren’t using or didn’t know were even there. If you are a sign shop that is struggling, I cannot think of a better onsite solution.
A Wonderful Experiance!
I am someone who is learning flexi for the first time.
I am a very creative person who doesn’t have the tech savvy understanding to just jump on Flexi Design and make it happen. Chris is a very calm person with a lot of experience. He helped me very quickly to gain confidence. I am so excited how quickly that he has helped me get around the program. Can’t say how happy I am with Chris’s service. Highly recommended.
Absolute Legend!!!
Great Service
Chris provided excellent step-by-step directions and insight to help me streamline my route file set-up process plus more workflow suggestions for our vinyl process. Thanks again!
