In just the past quarter century, technology has drastically changed the way we live our lives. These days, whether it is their laptops, flat-screen TVs, or smartphones, everyone is glued to screens. In the signage industry, the technological advances are being put to good use. This is particularly true when it comes to digital printing. So, where can you find the best digital printing in Escondido CA? Below, we will answer that question and more!
What Is Digital Printing?
You probably have a digital printer in your office or at home. However, sign shops use bigger and fancier large format digital printers. With these printers, a digital file is printed directly from a computer to a substrate. These printers print simultaneously with four colors: magenta, black, cyan, and yellow. With just one pass, you get a full-color print. Digital printing is much faster and more affordable than other printing methods.
With large format digital printers, we can print directly onto hundreds of substrates, such as canvas, sign foam, paper, and vinyl. If you need a massive 6’ by 20’ banner, we can use these printers to make your dream a reality.
Another advantage of digital printing that our clients appreciate is that they can see exactly what their sign will look like before they commit to buying anything since it is simple for us to provide mockups of the marker. Additionally, there is no extra charge to print an array of different designs since digital printers do not use screens or plates.
Pick a Sign Company with State of the Art Equipment
The best sign makers keep abreast of the many trends in the sign industry. They will buy cutting-edge equipment and software to ensure they are supplying the best signage possible. But, it may be tough for you to tell how good their machinery is if you do not have an extensive background in sign making. So, how do you know what to look for?
As you begin your search, take a look at the portfolios of the sign shops you are interested in. Do their markers remind you of the worst parts of the ‘90s? Or, are the signs they produce vibrant, clear, and crisp? If their signs are publicly viewable, you may want to get a firsthand glimpse. Ask for the physical locations of some of their markers.
You should also be sure to ask the sign company what printing methods they use. If they rely on painting or screen printing, you are unlikely to get top-quality signs, and you will probably pay more. All of the top sign makers use digital printing these days.
Keep It Local
A wide variety of internet retailers uses digital printing. Yet, when you need installation services or help with maintenance on your signs, they are nowhere to be found. And, they do not perform site evaluations prior to making your sign to make sure it will work with your venue. If you want these services, you need to stay local.
