Support the Troops!

Got this e-mail as a Thank you for the Sign Design gang. According to Lisa at Fralin and Waldron, soldier Ben is back home and safe.

Dear Sign Design Team:

Last year, your company made a banner for my church (Slate Mountain Presbyterian Church). The banner was signed by our church members and sent to one of our own who was stationed in Afghanistan. Attached, please find a picture of Ben and the Sign Design banner. It was hung in their rec. room at the base so that everyone could enjoy it .

Thanks for your great work!

And We Still Do The Greatest Sandblasted In Town!

Would you take a look at that? That is our proud painter, Lisa, with her latest and greatest work of art. A local Bistro is opening verrrry soon, and they are getting this beautiful sign for their place...

What a blast it was to make. Sandblasted 2" high-density urethane (it's 2-sided, by the way and looks just as cool on the other side), with hand-painted graphics, a hand-carved additional "globe" with "Trio" blasted into it and smaltz applied. The line of copy Bistro Bar Bottle is 1/2" black acrylic mounted with studs.

It's a fine piece of work! If you'd like something amazing for your own place, give us a call!

Full-Color Mimaki JV3 Solvent Inkjet Printer

Sign Design has purchased and is now running "full-tilt boogie" a Mimaki JV3 Solvent Inkjet Printer!

What does that mean for our customers?

We now have the capability to print photo-quality graphics on banners, vehicles, plywood signs, aluminum signs--the possibilities are practically limitless! These signs are not as long-lasting as vinyl, but they are a lot snazzier! The prints have a three-year outdoor durability with no lamination. The maximum resolution is 720x720 dpi (which for you non-techies means "it looks good!")

Although the Mimaki only rints panels up to five-feet wide, larger prints and banners can be produced with the use of tiling.
