Note about payment

Before or after?

Pintado a mano  

Hand painted work.

Spain from 1993 - 2015

"Sticky lettering" arrived 2015.

Computer cut text was quicker to apply.

Almost "Same-day" service.

And, as there was competition between the sign companies,

springing up like mushrooms,

the prices soon came down. 

The signwriter , although taking a day or two,

could usually keep his prices UP,

because, usually, there was little or no competition!

Digital printing  came soon after.

Meaning ALL the artwork

created by a graphics program

could be printed 

on to a (large) sheet of adhesive vinyl

and that, stuck to a 5mm (e.g.) PVC sheet

& applied all at once to the fascia.

Signwriting, with paint, as below, was now out of date.

(So, thanks to the delay of the PC arriving on the Costa,

I just caught the last few years!)

I do not know how the signwriters in the UK fared.

I suppose they pushed the "Traditional" aspect!

Though when something else is cheaper & faster,

it must be uphill for them . . .

con letras adhesivas "sticky",

Así que elegí el sur de España.

donde, ojalá, no hubiera llegado.

No lo había hecho.

También Ex Pats allí, así que no hay problema de idioma.

Como no podía hablar ningún idioma.

Then the computer arrived AGAIN!

with adhesive "sticky" lettering.

Then digital printing

which covered the whole fascia

with lettering, photos, any artwork - etc.

It was not cheaper so much, as faster.

Sign painting was now out of date.

So I designed fascias & menus on a laptop

& took the USB to the printer.

Same race, different horse!
