    Nick there have been quite a few posts in the past about weeding graphics so your best bet would be to use the search function at the top of the screen.

    As for a substrate Di-bond and Foamex are completly different types of substrate that can be used for signs.

    Foamex is a cheap plastic type board which can be used for all sorts of different signage, Di-bond is a composite material made up of thin aluminium sheet with a foam/plastic core. Can also be used for all sorts of signage but a lot more expensive than foamex.

    Really depends on what type of sign you want it for, if you could tell us what sort of sign you need to produce people will be able to advise better
