SIGN*A*RAMA Franchise Wins Roland Engraving Solution for ADA Signage

San Antonio, TX October 26, 2006 At this year’s SIGN*A*RAMA World Expo, a franchise from Los Angeles won a complete engraving solution for ADA signage. It includes a Roland EGX-300 engraver, Flexi Engrave-PRO Software and a free two-day engraving class at Roland University.

“We are so excited to win this engraving system,” said Maria Mallei, SIGN*A*RAMA winning franchise owner. “The Roland engraver and Flexi software will let us offer our customers ADA signage, which is incredibly popular in California. We already have jobs lined up at a nearby hotel!”

The Roland EGX-300 engraver combines speed, precision and power in an economical format. The desktop device makes it easy to perform a wide range of jobs. In addition to ADA signage, it is perfect for scribing brass for trophies and awards, or cutting light acrylics and plastic for nametags and directional signage.

FlexiENGRAVE 8 is state of the art software for precision engraving, built from FlexiSIGN, the world’s most advanced sign making software. FlexiENGRAVE maintains its Flexi status as the number one choice for dependable, feature-rich engraving capabilities with ease of use you can handle. From the most complex designs, to simple name tags, FlexiENGRAVE will complete your project economically, intuitively, and with incredible speed.

Roland University has been helping professionals meet their goals since 1999. With locations in Irvine and Lake Forest CA, Roland University workshops teach new workflows and applications that help students increase profits and expand their businesses. Students get hands-on training on the latest engraving, cutting, printing, and CAD/CAM technologies.

The winning SIGN*A*RAMA also uses a Roland SOLJET SC-545EX to produce banners, outdoor signs and other wide format graphics. This award-winning device is part of Roland’s award winning line of integrated printer/cutters ranging in size from 30” to 104” in width. Roland recently introduced the SOLJET PRO III XC-540. The advanced printer/cutter produces graphics at an industry-best maximum print speed of 441 sqft./hr. Engineered to support high-volume environments, the XC-540 delivers vibrant 6 color CMYKLcLm images.

The XC-540 can contour cut printed graphics without reloading the media. When graphics must be removed for lamination, the Quadralign four-point optical registration system automatically realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew and distortion. The XC-540 also functions as a stand-alone vinyl cutter.
