Sign making layout software

The traditional graphics design layout software such as Adobe PageMaker and Quark Xpress are not adequate for signmaking layout software. You can only handle about 44 inches in size, not much towards a billboard. Adobe InDesign goes up to 18 feet but has a numbing learning curve, even for proficient PageMaker users. Thus the FLAAR team is gradually searching for better software with which to design posters, murals, and banners.

We just got an e-mail from someone who had bought one of these packages, I believe Flexi.... and was led to believe it would run several printers. It evidently was unable to do this. Check out SignLab, from CADlink. CADlink is a well known company. Tel USA 800 545 9581, in Canada 613 247 0850

The principal report within the series on signs is appropriate for any in-house or in-plant printing facility, for any in-house corporate departmental work group, government, institution, museum, library, university, or college. Obviously also appropriate for sign shops and anyone who aspires to print signs, posters, or banners.
