been busy few days done my first two shop signs

quite proud of them, did both windows for jan t glitz. Twisted secrets was 4.1 metres long and had to wrap it in black vinyl as client brought old sign board in to save money (haha) then wanted chrome vinyl text (was blinding me when lights hit it).

Got 3 more orders from people walking past as i was in work area doing signs

Thanks, been very hard but worth it to see customers over the moon.

I did it using new large cutter i bought (would be hard with robo it's 4.1 metres x 700mm)

If i was you i would go for vinyl, i'm not giving up with sublimation as still getting plenty orders and contracts but wanted to expand in to different markets.

Just signed for third unit in shopping centre to make space i need to expand but don't regret anything, "if you don't try you'll never get"
