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.

Adendo provided excellent onsite training services in a time of need to help our company develop and grow in the right direction. 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!

On site training for the HP 365 Printer
Chris was a very good instructor. He is very knowledgeable. helped us learn how to better utilize the Software. We highly recommend Chris.
Amazing Rip repair
Our Flexi rip had lost all of its settings and Chris quickly reset them all so our dtf printer worked properly again. The amazing part was he did this in a matter of minutes and he then spent the remaining time training me on additional capabilities of the rip we had not been using. I highly recommend Chris!!!!
EnRoute Training
Spent a couple of days with Chris training. Chris was a big help getting us to our destination of 3D cutting on our Zund.
On site traing for the HP 365 Printer , Graphtec Plotter and the Base 54 Laminator
Chris was very knowledgeable on all of our equipment and a very good instructor. I would highly recommend on site training.
Very knowledgeable.
Our shop had a GREAT experience training with Chris. He came on site and helped us learn how to better utilize the software, printer, plotter, and laminator we currently work with. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and just fun to be around! If you’re looking for training, I highly recommend Chris!
