Express Signs is pleased to announce the arrival of a new printer that is changing the way we do business. The HP Scitex LX850 Industrial Printer is Hewlett Packard’s largest latex printer. Express Signs has the only one of its type in this area. This printer has a smaller environmental impact because of the use of eco-friendly, water-based inks that are non-flammable and non-combustible.

At 126 inches wide and at a resolution of 1200 DPI, it boasts the ability to print up to billboard-size signs, vehicle wraps, and banners as well as helps to lower costs. Designer Israel Saxton is pleased with the performance of the machine stating, “This is wide format printing at its best. With the latest in HP printing at our finger tips, I can guarantee, our customers will not find a better quality product anywhere else.” Express Signs acquired the printer through a partnership with HP and is a certified eco-friendly provider.

Arrival of the printer comes at a good time for Express Signs as we celebrate 20 years in business. This success can only be attributed to the patriotism of the residents of the Kingsport and Tricities areas. Express Signs hopes to continue to grow and flourish in the Tricities for years to come. “We are very excited to bring the first eco-friendly printer to the region. This gives us the ability to offer signs and banners for a lower cost and in a much faster turnaround time than we have in the past. We now have the fastest and largest printer in the region which helps us to better serve our customers,” states owner Chris Thomas.

Next up for Express Signs, we will be unveiling a new and improved website with ecommerce capabilities. Clients will be able to order products online and provide details for the sign they want to be sent to the designers. This feature will also allow businesses to upload artwork, streamlining the design process. People from all over will be able to use the new website to order a variety of products.

Located in downtown Kingsport at 403 Cherokee Street, Express Signs has been doing business in the Tricities for 20 years. Offering a variety of products including yard signs to banners and large scale business signs to vehicle wraps, we strive to meet the needs of all our clients. Originally founded in Kingsport, Express Signs now serves clients across the Southeastern United States.

www.MoveToKingsport.com is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the Eastern U.S. This city of 50,000 in a metro of 308,000, was planned by renowned American planner John Nolen in his office at Harvard Square. Located in the lush green foothills of the Tennessee Valley, it is surrounded by the Southern Highlands and mountain lakes. Kingsport is home to Marriott’s www.MeadowViewResort.com and thousands of acres of unique, natural amenities at Bays Mountain and Warriors Path Parks. The natural geography provides a temperate, well-balanced climate with four seasons and a natural shelter from extreme weather. Population growth has also been well-balanced, ensuring you will not outgrow your decision to relocate. With no personal property taxes, special assessments, or state income taxes on salaries/wages, you’ll find that Kingsport has a very low cost of living coupled with an exceptionally high quality of life (see for yourself at www.BestPlaces.net). The regional airport (TRI) has direct flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Orlando and St. Pete/Clearwater with easy access, parking, and virtually no security lines. The public education system was planned by Columbia University and Newsweek has repeatedly recognized the local high school as one of the best in America. Year in and year out our graduates go on to the top colleges and universities (and without costly private school tuition fees). Harvard also recognized Kingsport in 2009 with the Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiative. What are you waiting for? It’s time to leave the high costs, traffic jams, and stress behind and discover this hidden gem.
