official, SCS Sign now has the capabilities of large format digital
printing using modern and heat curing technologies. Our environmentally friendly latex inks have ideal adhesion to
acrylic allowing for unique customized 2<sup>nd</sup> surface
(subsurface) acrylic braille signs. We can take clear non-glare
acrylic in various thicknesses, and manufacture custom ADA signs with
vibrant colors and uniquely designed back printed “encapsulated”
patterns and prints. For sign companies, designers and architects, this opens up many possibilities when it comes to adding aesthetic appeal to your ADA signage design. Add multiple material layers in varying colors with unique shapes, combined with custom printed logos, patterns, and designs, and the aesthetic appeal of your ADA signs can be enhanced tremendously.</span></span></p><p align="left" style="line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVkO_dJAph2MKCys4epIIVB3vvD-eeDu8938TXJvHfQtiG-HU-pjnPA6EugHOW8b5EEARYM8PceWYPdjIMxBRSHiMoq-tVKdALDMol8d4w-9-WS5pqX-YY5WaRlpbTNksMIGAQE45OSY7NgAf2VbAJ7z5Ir66g2WcxfOYzZSmtpt9bEKRXmFUKHSa7SP4/s1298/printer.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Latex printer to make ADA Braille signs appealing beautiful and unique" border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="1298" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVkO_dJAph2MKCys4epIIVB3vvD-eeDu8938TXJvHfQtiG-HU-pjnPA6EugHOW8b5EEARYM8PceWYPdjIMxBRSHiMoq-tVKdALDMol8d4w-9-WS5pqX-YY5WaRlpbTNksMIGAQE45OSY7NgAf2VbAJ7z5Ir66g2WcxfOYzZSmtpt9bEKRXmFUKHSa7SP4/w616-h261/printer.png" title="Latex printer to make ADA Braille signs appealing beautiful and unique" width="616" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Large
format latex printing also has other advantages:</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Versatility
in Media Handling</b> – We can handle a wide range of substrates and
media including .010 velveteen lexan film, vinyl, metals, paper and
more. Such versatility allows us to print on various materials for
multiple applications.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Outdoor
Durability</b> – Latex inks are known for outdoor durability and
resistance to scratching and fading making them ideal for outdoor
applications.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Environmentally
Friendly</b> – These water based inks have very low levels of VOC’s
making them more eco-friendly compared to solvent inks common in
today’s sign industry. These inks are also odorless which is often
needed for indoor signage. Such inks are UL-ECOGLOW certified for
reduced environmental impact.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Wide

These signs typically are located by elevators or other strategic wayfinding locations. We usually recommend a UV digital print on rigid colored acrylic to be the most effective means of making these specialty signs, in sizes usually around 10"wide x 12" high. "Glow in the dark" maps can also be manufactured using our specialty photoluminescent materials.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">A common requirement in today's facilities, especially hotel and lodging rooms, are evacuation plan signs. These plans, often mounted inside of room doors, indicate the specific room on the plan as well as exit paths to stairs or other egress points. With the advancement in personal printer technology, often times we recommend the purchase of a simple clear plastic piece of acrylic folded over to accommodate an 8-1/2" x 11" paper printed floor plan. This is often the least expensive way to provide important fire exit information.</span></p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">California requires similar evacuation maps at elevators, outside of enclosed stairwells, and at main entrances to office buildings, hotels and lodges. The regulations for these maps is very specific and they require notation of stairways, exits, fire alarm pulls, and a "you are here" designation. In addition, these signs require of identification of the alarm system's sound and appearance along with an emergency number. All text is required to be 5/8" minimum.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /></span><br style="background-color: #f2f3f4; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Evacuation and YOU ARE HERE Sign Maps" src="https://www.justbraillesigns.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/ecav%20plan.jpg" style="background-color: #f2f3f4; border-style: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 328px;" title="Evacuation Maps" /></div><br style="background-color: #f2f3f4; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #303847; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">California's requirements may seem like overkill, but we cannot overstate enough the importance of how such signage can potentially save lives and reduce liabilities.

are often asked about what proper <b>stairwell signage</b> is required in
conventional building stairwells. This is often a difficult question, because it depends on your state's version of the
International Building Code they are enforcing. Add to this the fact
that many local municipalities have their own requirements for stairwell signage, and things can get confusing. The
bottom line is to always check with your state and local building
inspectors and Fire Marshal to assure your stairwell signs are
compliant. That being said, when you combine NFPA and IFC/IBC
guidelines, we can come up with a common stairwell sign with the
following characteristics.</span></p>

speaking the letters of the stairwell ID sign should contrast well

A floor level sign meeting ADA sign requirements with tactile letters and braille meeting ICC A117.1 requirements should be installed inside the stairwell, and located at each floor level landing next to the door leading from the stairwell into the corridor, (see Sign C above.)</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />2. If there is an exit door from the stairwell leading to the outside or to the level of exit discharge for the building, there should be an “EXIT” sign with raised characters and braille installed adjacent to this door on the latch side, (Sign B.) Doors leading to an exit door would require and "EXIT ROUTE sign (Sign E.) <br /><br />3. Corridor and hallway doors leading INTO stairwells require tactile and braille signs designating “STAIRS” or the stairwell identification, (i.e. - “Stair B” "NORTH STAIR" etc..) See sign D above.<br /><br />Effective Stairwell Signage will not only keep your facility code compliant but more importantly keep your patrons, customers, residence and visitors safe and informed.

This monstrosity of a machine looked like an old typewriter with only nine keys. Working as a volunteer, Margie's books were given to blind and sight-impaired children for enjoyment and education. It was hard work. Typing on this old Perkins Braille machine was arduous and difficult, often leading to sore fingers, wrists and shoulders. Margie deserves much credit for her plentiful contributions to the blind. As an adult, Jim was inspired to continue his Mother's legacy, and today, along with his two sons, manufacture braille labels and signage of all kinds for the blind and sight impaired.
