Lawrence Green, managing director, said: “This isn’t a sales video, you’ll see in our future ones we are trying to answer the questions often asked about signage and identify what to look out for with your projects.

The next one is already recorded and in edit where we talked about the first steps to take when you need a new sign and the unexpected things to consider that you just wouldn’t have been aware of.

announced that its large-format UCJV330 printer series and the
UV-curable inks LUS-170 and LUS-175, have been approved for the 3M MCS Warranty Programme. The 3M MCS

Customers can expect greater confidence in the quality of graphics production using the products and solutions offered by both companies. “We look forward to further expanding this collaboration to help our customers grow their businesses around the world.”
