    Screen Printed?

    Hi Creek waders,
    I've got to quote a bunch of little signs. Some will be no problem on the laser but others I'm clueless about. I'm guessing they are silk screened. Any one here do silk screening?

    It may also have been done with sublimation, or digital printing on vinyl applied to a backing, or even a large flatbed printer then CNC cut. The best solution depends on the size, quantity, material they are on, and how they will be used. Can you give any more details or a picture?

    Hi Joe,
    there are 21 different signs here in quantities up to 5000 and as low as 25. Lots of different materials and colors too. I believe they will go on medical machinery of some sort. What I'm looking for for example is aluminum that is caution yellow with black text. Some are clear aluminum with black or red text.
    BTW, Mike Null has helped me on the phone so far.
    Thanx Mike!!

    That sounds like an automated screen printing process as is done by promotional manufacturers. You might look into becoming a dealer for
    Kaeser & Blair. I used to do that but never had time to market it, just
    provided additional services to my existing customers.
