| EPS,
DXF or other Vector computer formats. Originally, all computer images were drawn using vector lines and curves. These are now hybrids and work in signage production but may suffer limitations and accuracy. QuickSmart recommend specific drawings be set for all logos, lettering and field applications capable of reproducing such up-to 50 metres without splits. |

Sign Materials best suited to Signage
Colorbond
- Metal (Signwhite)
Colorbond is a trade marked name and is commonly a two sided coated metal.
QuickSmart Signs uses a Colorbond specifically designed to accept inks,
vinyl and retain a high gloss level outdoors.
Other Colorbond family products include pre-colored coatings as used for
guttering, roofing etc. This may be used for signage if color
choice is correct however for long term signage, 'Signwhite' is a superior
choice.
Corflute -
Plastic, Ribbed panels. Available 3mm or 5mm thick.
Excellent choice for mid term sign projects. Cheap base pricing and
excellent ink acceptance, Corflute is commonly used for promotional
signage or high quantity sign orders where the material cost affects the
ROI.
Decals
- Stickers (Vinyl PVC)
Screen printing onto decals is the best method to achieve long term color
accuracy. Vinyl PVC may printed using UV Flexo or Offset printing
methods, but will suffer short term life.
Screen printing gives promotional stickers a better outdoor stability.
