■■■■■■■You don’t like shallow humans, so why would you like shallow topsheets? The DEEPSPACE™ Design Theory takes advantage of the thickness of a transparent topsheet. Strategically layering ink on multiple levels from the top and the bottom we are able to imbue our graphics with a sense of life through depth.Simple in theory, it requires an expert knowledge of ink bonding characteristics and curing times to make production efiicient and technically feasible.It’s also expensive as hell, and considered to be cost prohibitive for many of our competitors.Our mad art scientists at The Mothership needed more power. And at CAPiTA where Everything Is Possible™, ask and ye shall receive.PAM is now TWICE as powerful. She can make TWICE as much art. And she is TWICE the machine as she was last year. Spec’d out to the max with a mind-boggling SIXTEEN THOUSAND ink jet nozzles, PAM16000™ makes our knees weak, and our hearts palpatate. She can now spit out solventless, water based UV inks at twice the speed, with the same deadly accuracy and quality.DEEPSPACE™ AT WARPSPEED. The future is now.ROCK POSTERS. The best ones are screen-printed, framed and enviously eyed by bros at the man cave. They are awesome because they’re handmade with love, and so are our silkscreened top sheets. Unbeknownst to most people, the CAPiTA MFG print shop is stafied by a merry band of tough as nails Austrian mothers who enjoy tea and apfelstrudel after work. Next time you notice how the colors pop like crazy on your topsheet, thank these ladies as each topsheet is like a hand-knitted sweater from Mom.Super precise laser-guided, die cutting technology enable sharp edges and poppy AF solid color for our bases. It’s an Herculean feat to assemble all the little pieces back together again but gaaaddamn it looks fine.Sublimation is an exact science for an inexact process. In sublimation, ink is pushed through a substrate into base material using pressure and heat. As base material is thicker and more opaque than topsheets, graphics become more vibrant when ink impreg-nates the material as opposed to other techniques where the ink is applied to one side or the other. Through sublimation, ink sits closer to the sliding surface and this technique excels when full colors are required. Many long nights were spent tinkering with a complex combination of cook-times, pressure and temperature in a highly controlled environment to achieve some of CAPiTA’s signature base graphics.Voltron was awesome because it was one robot made up of a bunch of other robots. Sometimes if we find utilizing a single technique just isn’t enough, we open up the armory and stack one process on top of another!Whether it’s a PAM16000™ printed topsheet with silkscreen embellishments, or a sublimated base with silkscreen and die-cut pieces, MULTITECH™ sends you further into DEEPSPACE™.The PLT™ machine sits in a secret hidden corner of the factory behind two very unassuming, nondescript metal doors. The PLT™ is so secretive that all visitors to the room must be versed in an ever-changing secret handshake.PLT™ technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard.This is magical because the rest of the world mashes their topsheets on with glue, heat and pressure during the pressing stage. Doing so causes the fiberglass structure underneath to show through the topsheet. And because nobody wants to spend their hard earned cash on a bumpy snowboard, many companies slather their tops with a thick toxic lacquer to smooth things out. Not only is that shit HEAVY and can potentially develop unsightly hairline cracks, it’s also really unhealthy for the working environment.The PLT™ machine produces a featherlight, smooth, high-gloss finish, without all that poisonous deadweight.SCIENCE IS MAGIC, WAAAAHBAH!!All 2023 boards utilizes PAM16000™ except:• MEGA SPLIT• MEGA DEATH• SB POWDER GLIDER• SB RESORT TWIN• SB SLUSH SLASHERS• PARADISEAll 2023 boards!• MEGA SPLIT• MEGA DEATH• MEGA MERC• SUPER D.O.A.• THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH• MERCURY• NAVIGATOR SPLIT• THE NAVIGATOR• SCOTT STEVENS MINI• JESS KIMURA MINI• MICRO MINI• SB POWDER GLIDER • SB SLUSH SLASHERS• THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH• KAZU KOKUBO PRO• THE OUTSIDERS• THE EQUALIZER BY JESS KIMURA All 2023 boards utilizes MULTITECH™ except:• CHILDREN OF THE POW• CHILDREN OF THE GNAR• JESS KIMURA MINI• SCOTT STEVENS MINI• MICRO MINIAll 2023 boards utilizes PLT except:• MEGA SPLIT• MEGA MERC• MEGA DEATH• SUPER D.O.A.• THE BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATH• KAZU KOKUBO• SB SLUSH SLASHERS 2.0• PATHFINDER• CHILDREN OF THE POW• CHILDREN OF THE GNAR• JESS KIMURA MINI• SCOTT STEVENS MINI• MICRO MINI• ULTRAFEAR• D.O.A.• PATHFINDER• SPACE METAL FANTASY• SB SLUSH SLASHERS DEEPSPACE™ DESIGN THEORYPAM■■■■■™ PRINTINGSILKSCREENDIE-CUTSUBLIMATIONMULTITECH™PLT TOPSHEET TECHNOLOGY™At CAPiTA, not only do we strive to make the most Totally IncredibleTechnical Snowboards™ in the world, we think it’s important that they look beautiful too.The fact is, getting snowboards to look AMAZING is hard. The technical requirements for bonding and durability in extreme climatic and physical conditions severely limits options, and these challenges keep most companies confined to standard methods. The result is often a lifeless, soulless, reproduction that fails to explore the particular possibilities of each graphic. Through rigorous testing, wild experimentation and hard-earned experience, our mad art scientists have developed new techniques that maximize each graphic’s unique potential. Our mission is to completely surpass what was once technically impossible.PRINTING TECHPRINTING TECH
