Printing on hemmed, grommeted stock saves time and money. One of the things that digital printing makes easier is banners. I noticed in the Design & Price [SignCraft, March/April 2008] feature on a 4-by-12-ft. banner, that three of the four sign designers who participated described producing a digitally-printed version. It’s fast, and it lets you use color without worrying about how many colors or layers of vinyl it will take.

Most sales are not too difficult to close; however, at times we must resort to some “extra yard” presentation techniques to close our multi-unit printing opportunities. This week I am proposing a digital printing and cut-vinyl vehicle graphics package for three distinctly different trucks. All the messages are the same; however, there are layout issues that differ from truck, to van, to van. To dramatically increase the chances of our getting this nice graphics package order, we simply resorted to our Roland DG VP-540 to help us create some “sample boards” to show the client what we could offer to increase his business right away.

With my Roland DG VP-540, the same jobs are completed in about 25% of the usual time, with a definite upgrade in appearance and value for the customers.
