卡拉薩標誌：好人，在好國家，做偉大的工作

傑德·格里菲斯(Jed Griffiths) 和蘇西·格里菲斯(Suzy Griffiths) 在離開珀斯(Perth) 在澳大利亞進行了一次漫長的冒險後，“無意中”開始了他們的標牌業務。這對夫婦抵達卡拉薩後，立即被小鎮的溫馨氛圍和當地人的友善所吸引。因此，他們沒有放棄，而是留下來，並很快成為社區的一部分，利用傑德的標誌書寫資格來填補市場上優秀標誌書寫者的空白。

Art has been in Jed’s veins all his life, having sold his first painting at age 10, then as a teenager being commissioned to produce art for government departments and community organizations. Jed has been a graphic artist for over 25 years and enjoys all aspects of the creative process.

1999 年，Jed 和 Suzy 用一台價值 5,000 美元的入門級Roland DG打印機創辦了一家小型家庭標誌店（最初品牌為 JG Graphix），這為他們未來的發展奠定了基礎。

不斷進化

Right from the start, the business grew at a steady pace as Jed and Suzy attracted a loyal customer base compelling them to move to a new home with a separate workshop to cater for their growing business. Continual growth drove them to move again in 2016, to bigger premises in Karratha’s Light Industrial Area. It was also a pivotal time to rebrand to ‘Karratha Signs’, a business name that reflects their commitment to delivering the highest quality signage (including large industrial, mining, commercial and marine signage) to local businesses, tradesmen and countless customers in Karratha and the greater Pilbara region.

Karratha Signs now employs six full-time staff, including two traditional sign-writers (using paint brushes instead of digital printers), a casual and an apprentice, who operate a wide range of Roland DG equipment.

The culture at Karratha Signs is friendly and relaxed, where Jed and Suzy Griffiths attest that everyone “loves what they do; which shows in the attention-to-detail they give every job that comes through the door.”

滿足當地需求的產品和服務

Jed 和 Suzy 為擁有一種創新、不斷發展的方法而感到自豪，這種方法使他們能夠「與客戶一起成長——滿足他們對新的和多樣化產品的要求。我們擁有頂級的設備，並且只使用適合皮爾巴拉惡劣氣候的優質產品。所有標誌均經過紫外線層壓以提供額外保護。

Just as they’re focused on innovation, many customers come to Karratha Signs for Jed’s rare skills and inherent talent for old-school drawing and brushwork. As a trade-qualified sign-writer and Graphic Designer, Jed learned his craft long before the digital age, so he’s able to offer unique graphics and creative solutions for his clients – in addition to the state-of-the-art digital signage Karratha Signs produces.

The locally-held belief is that “no matter their signage needs, customers choose Karratha Signs for their high quality work and the excellent service they provide on every job and every project, from start to finish.”

Developing and fostering good relationships with their customers, big and small, is the source of Karratha Signs’ customer loyalty. And beyond fostering close working relationships, Karratha Signs are committed to supporting the local Karratha community through sponsorships, donations, apprenticeships and other initiatives.

滿足客戶需求的技術

Jed 和 Suzy 自從創業以來就一直使用Roland DG印表機，並在 25 年內擁有了 12 台Roland DG印表機。他們研究競爭對手的產品，並盡可能參加標誌展示會，但仍忠於Roland DG產品。 Jed 說：“由於我們的業務在偏遠地區開展，因此我們從Roland DG獲得的支援一直都很好，我們從未遇到任何問題。”

Jed 繼續說道：「我們一直充分利用Roland DG印表機。我們使用各種可能的應用程式；橫幅、畫布、乙烯基和網格。 Roland 的品質、可靠性和易用性一直都很棒，這就是我們不斷購買更多產品的原因。

In 2023, Karratha Signs bought their first of two TrueVis AP-640 Latex Printers to leverage their faster drying time, and a CAMM-1 GR2-640 Cutter to complete the print and cut workflow, to deliver quicker turnaround times to meet customer demand.

選擇最佳合作夥伴進行“備份”

After 25 years in the industry, Karratha Signs have built a very strong relationship with their Roland DG Dealer – Graphic Art Mart.

Jed 毫不猶豫地推薦Roland DG產品，他說：“這是因為他們的印表機非常可靠，而且我們從 Graphic Art Mart 得到了很好的支持。”
