At SignsDisplay.com Ltd, we are constantly investing in the latest technology
in order to improve the print output quality offered to our customers, giving
them the very best product at the most competitive price.
We also feel it is important to go even further and do our bit for the environment.
We have recently replaced our wide format solvent roll printer with a new
Hewlett Packard printer that uses water based latex ink, and so doesn’t have
the amount of waste ink associated with solvent printers commonly used by
the industry.
See below for further details.
