good point bob...
the prints do last 3 years unlaminated but a fair bit longer if laminated...
none the less im sure this should be taken into consideration for flex face...
with regards to the perspex.. i know the colour will outride the flexface. but, the flexface will out ride the perspex when bricks are thrown at it..vandalism i mean .

:lol:
the perspex will also have to have the digi print applied to the face and will also need renewal in 3 years or so... like the flexface...
i guess thers pros and cons in both...
one big issue with flex face from the sign makers point of veiw is maintenance...
only one man is needed to change a fascia bulb of about 3o foot by 6 foot fascia.. a big saving..
flexface comes on a pivett hinges... so when the signmaker comes back to maintain the sign he simply undoes some screws and lifts the face up...
once up it locks and he reaches in and changes bulbs, transfomers whatever... he can also clean the rear/inside easily.
some flexface systems are on a crank system where the sign guy just attaches a small crank to side of box and winds it open...
again excellent for maintenance
