New member just to say hello
Hi, I have been following this sight for a few months now (when I manage to get time!) – I have had a Graphtec FC400/75 cutter/plotter for a few years now – stuck in the corner of my print workshop using it to supply the odd vehicle graphic and shop sign. – Since coming back to this sight now and again I have been inspired and impressed by the discussions, enthusiasm, and various types of work people are willing to show. So I have decided to become a member and take the plunge into the wonderful world of signmaking!! – Look forward to learning the trade and meeting you in the near future.
Best regards,
Gary Thomas -

Welcome Gary from a fellow printer. Isn’t it nice to do a job (signs) where at least you can put right any minor cock-ups fairly easily unlike a print run!
All the best – Paul -

Hello again, Yes Paul, being in the print trade for over 20yrs and battling to keep up with new technology, radically falling print prices and an ever decreasing bank balance from buying new kit to survive – Takes all the fun out of the trade!! – Time to try and put some fun back into business!!
Incidently – I’m from Essex (born in Suffolk so no Essex Girl/Boy gags please!!) 😆 -
Hi and Welcome Gary 😀
I’m the opposite, a signmaking shop with a little print on the side 😉 I’ve been trading for a grand total of 4 weeks, and admittedly I’ve had equal amounts of work from both sides. One of the craziest things I’ve sold so far is mini business cards laminated in pouchs, they seem really popular, who would have thought?!?!? 😛
Look forward to hearing more about you and seeing some of your work in the show us your stuff forum 😀
Cheers, Dewi
