Another big one falls Sign 2000
I’ve seen a couple of posts starting to emerge that Sign 2000 are no more…
Very sad news if this true, especially for the staff and the guys at the lower end of the pyramid who are often last to know.
I’m not entirely sure but isn’t one of the directors on the board the same chap that bought Hawkes signs (another great firm) down to its knees??

Been hearing rumours for a while now that they were in trouble. Feel sorry for their suppliers as I know will hit some of them hard!

Hey John…I feel for the staff always the last to hear the bad news and the ones at the top get out first…classic Titanic tactics!!! If anyone from the firm is reading this and any staff need a job give me a shout we are looking for some new recruits

Sorry to hear this news, I’ve never worked with them personally but, they are kind of local to me and I had connections in other ways about 15yrs ago. They were a pretty big player in the south east.

I was down there today and it was sad to see such a well equipped firm gone! It was like the staff had packed up for the weekend and were coming back on Monday…Lots of Christmas signage packed and ready to ship, lots of tesco signage and other big brands ready to go out….I had a few bits from there auction lots and collected today

I was tempted to buy / bid on one of the latex printers and the Summa, decided to hold the cash instead!
What did you get? -

Colour profiling tool.
Got a quote for 5.5k new managed to get this for 1.5k so thought that was decent enough

A fantastic bit of kit, gone to a good home, at a bargain price.
On our rev.D, I’ve had excellent results using a 2033 patch chart, but without the automated table, it’s a pain to profile each combination of paper laminate and substrate, though it is worth it.
There’s a discussion here http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/ind … #msg988447 about optimal patch numbers for the best colour fidelity. Written by people wanting the best quality output for photography, still, I suspect, relevant for you.

Nice James!! If it’s a good price it’s always exciting! As I say, I was really tempted to bid on the summa tangential cutter but in reality, I don’t ‘need’ it and the ash is better spent on the sign we’re wanting for the new unit facia!
