Hello to all

Posted by IAN HARTLEY on May 22, 2003 at 9:18 am

I was so impressed with this web site that I thought sod going to Birmingham this year. Far better to invest £50 as a full member here. I am sure that I will get more out of this than going to the show, good as it is.
We specialise in the supply of signs, banners, printing and embroidery to the equestrian trade. Doing work all over Europe from race courses to riding schools.
If anyone needs any advice on heat transfer printing, especialy of large images or advice on embroidery just let me know.

Welcome Ian.

I went to Birmingham yesterday and am convinced that you made the right decision. it was just a hall full of printers dropping their output on the floor. If you are not interested in large format printing there wasn’t much else to see. It’ll be some years before I bother again.

Your time is much better spent here.

I will second that John,

Sign Uk, what a load of large format, the best thing was watching the vinyl wrap demo on the Spandex stand……
I would hate to be looking for a printer at present, way too much choices, that’s why I just bought the Maxx2………….Excellent.

Been at it only 4 years and doing well. We specialise in doing work for the equestrian trade, I wonder does anyone else spesialise in a particular field of work ?. I know someone nearby who specialises in doing ambulances, high reflectives etc.
