Page A8 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 12, 1992 _ BUSINESS REVIEW _ TERRACE ~—-Sign painters have moved past the days of hand lettering into the com- puter age. Some of the more recent examples are the nearly 30 advertisements found on the back of the chairs at Shames Mountain, All of those signs, and the great majority of the other signs on the mountain, were prepared by Northcoast Trimline, 4 Instead of first tracing let- ters by hand and then pain- ting them: in, Northcoast employees can size letters, ‘ choose the style they want and prepare logos by using a computer, screen and mouse. Their instructions are then translated to -a cutter which automatically produces what has been ordered. The cutter acts in the same fashion as a printer does for a word processor, The resulting product can then be fixed to walls, win- dows, vehicles or attached to solid backings for display signs, “Really simple ones can be done in 45 minutes,’’ said Dawn Fawdrey of Nor- theoast Trimline. Trimline is a national outlet which has franchises across the coun- try. The system also separates what's needed into any col- - ours that have been ordered. Hi tech signs COM PUTER TECHNOLOGY has transformed the sign making business. That's Darcy Zloklikovits of Northcoast Trimline with the cutting machine that produces letters and logos accor- ding to a computer program.
