VINYL BANNERS A TRUSTED SIGNAGE FAVOURITE
Custom vinyl banners are known as the work-horses of the commercial signage industry but remain one of the most versatile and durable forms of interior and exterior signage.
The first vinyl cutter was manufactured in the 1970s by a company called Gerber Scientific, and this soon revolutionised the signage industry. This device vastly increased the productivity of sign-makers and caused a proliferation of sign-making franchises, as very little training was required before users could start making signs.
Later, Gerber Scientific’s vinyl-cutter ran into some competition, with the advent of vinyl-cutters that worked from personal computers, software and pen-plotters. These instruments were initially less reliable than Gerber Scientific’s and faced some difficulties, such as with tracking vinyl, but were significantly cheaper and contained many more features and fonts.
Following these early software-based vinyl-cutters came the Roland-CAMM-1 device, which again undercut the price of vinyl-cutting systems and soon evolved into what is today the most popular vinyl-cutter on the market.
NEW HORIZONS FOR VINYL
Alongside the evolution of vinyl-cutting machines has been the huge improvement in software and features. As computers have increased in speed software programs tailored for sign-makers have flourished, so that they now offer previously unimagined possibilities for signage professionals.
