High Tech Training for the Next Generation of Signmakers

Growing with the latest tech

To update the school’s production platform, in 2018 Lamont brought in a 30" Roland TrueVIS SG-300 digital printer/cutter.  “Rolands are the best — you can’t beat the quality,” he says. “The TrueVIS has amazing speed and accuracy.  We also wanted the print/cut feature to streamline our workflow. “

According to Lamont, it’s also important to provide a learning environment that prepares students for the real world. “We want our students using equipment they are likely to see again on the job. The training we provide on our Roland is one of the things that makes our students so highly employable.”

Lamont now leads an ever-expanding group of students in Painting and Design Technologies.  “We are seeing more and more students interested in taking the next step from working behind a screen to actually printing their designs and hanging their projects where everyone can see them,” he says.
