In the last couple decades, technology has changed our lives dramatically. These days, with all of the laptops, fancy flat-screen televisions, and smartphones, everyone is focused on screens. Yet, with the technological innovations in the signage industry, sign shops are moving away from screens. That is, they are moving away from screen printing and going with the more precise and affordable digital printing in North Jersey. Fortunately, The Sign Center is one of the best companies in the area for this state of the art printing method.
What Makes Digital Printing so Great?
Digital printers are now found in many offices and homes. However, we use larger and fancier wide-format digital printers. These printers take a digital file from your computer and print it directly onto a substrate. They use magenta, black, cyan, and yellow to create any color of the rainbow and then some. All of these colors are printed at the same time so you can get a full-color print or banner with just one pass. Digital printing is much faster and more cost effective than any other printing method.
Wide-format digital printers are able to print directly onto several different substrates, like canvas, sign foam, paper, vinyl, and more. If you want a massive sign, our printers can handle that too. One of the aspects our customers appreciate most is that they can see what their markers are going to look like before they commit to anything. With digital printing, we can produce accurate proofs of what the finished signage will look like. Additionally, there is no extra cost to print an array of different designs since digital printers do not use screens or plates.
Sign Makers Must Have Innovative Equipment
We keep up with the latest trends in the constantly-evolving sign industry. We buy the most cutting edge equipment to make certain we are providing the best signage possible. But, it may be difficult for you to tell how good a company’s equipment is if you do not have extensive sign-making experience. What do you need to look for?
Taking a look at a sign maker’s portfolio is always a good place to begin. Does it appear as if they are stuck in the ‘90s? Or, are the signs they offer colorful, sharp, and enticing? See if they have any signs that are publicly viewable so you can check out their work in person.
As you may have guessed, the sign company’s printing methods are also important. If you go with a shop that relies on painting or screen printing signs, you will likely get less precise signage that costs more. All of the top sign makers use digital printing these days.
Shop Local
Many online sign shops use digital printing. Yet, you cannot get installation or maintenance services from them. And, if your marker requires sign permits, you are out of luck. If you want these services, you really need to consider a local company.
