If there is such a thing as a ‘Guardian Angel’ – mine was definitely looking over my shoulder the day I was looking for someone to supply me with not only a CNC machine, but also a massive”Saturn’ 3200mm solvent printer, as well as a couple of vinyl plotters.. It’s a very daunting prospect not to mention a big investment, and there were lots of companies, - all of which I knew nothing about – ready to take my $$. That’s when my guardian angel lead me to Gary and his team at Sign Technologies. From the moment I started talking to these guys it was obvious that they knew what I wanted and what they had to do. My built up anxieties were relieved when I realized I was dealing with a committed team of pros as well as all-round nice guys! Well – my machines were delivered and installed by Gary and his team of Steve, Lance & Marty. They went out of their way to help and make sure my worries were kept to a minimum. All this was great, but I have since come to realize the luck of finding Gary and his crew MANY, MANY times over. You see, - it’s not only the installation and service that you get from Gary - IT”S THE 24/7 SUPPORT !!! - I have rang Gary many many times with questions and worries. He is never ever impatient with me and has always solved my problems and given sound advice. He has even come right into my computer remotely and adjusted settings whilst I’m talking to him on the phone….- ‘That my friends is “PEACE OF MIND!!” Gary has not only become a friend and business ally, but an investment in my business. Thanks again Gary…. 
Our feed back as testimonial to the Great Service that you provide
We would like to make a brief comment about GCC lasers and in particular Gary and Nick from Sign Technologies. 
We are delighted with our Uniform Cadet Plus printer. We have been able to print on a full range of digital medias.
We manufacture high tech transmission systems so it is important that our laser works accurately and I am pleased to say that our Spirit laser does work very accurately. 
We do anything and everything for the public and trade so its critical that our lasers are working with minimal downtime. 
It is our view that when it comes to vinyl cutters you cant do any better than the GCC Jaguar series plotters. 
As one of Gary’s first clients in 1992, I have known Gary for over 17 years. When I was fresh in the sign business, with no design knowledge and very little computer experience, Gary was there to get me on my feet. He was also there when I had technical issues, install issues and when I was ready to give my jobs away free; he helped me establish sound pricing policies to make me profitable. 
As a small WA business it was difficult finding local support from someone who understood our business operations…We knew Gary from way back and got in contact with him again. With Gary and Nick’s business and technical expertise we were confident when we purchased the Roland VP that we would receive the ongoing support, service and products required to operate our new printer as if they were right here along side us.
