at SGIA 2012
Nicholas Hellmuth and María Renée Ayau
Introduction
It is my impression that there are more small distributors at SGIA than at ISA. And that most of the additional SGIA booths are on T-shirts or other small-scale dye-sublimation products. Whereas ISA is more on larger scale signage, hence primarily (though not exclusively) distributors who offer wide-format printers, wide-format me-dia, etc).
