A changeable message is an investment. One needs 200-400 letters and numbers, has to organize, coordinate and follow up with staff on a regular basis to come up with and install new messages.

Over time, if you started with a white lexan background one will find that the bright white sign background will start to yellow to a crème color. If the interior of the sign cabinet does not get cleaned, your message image will not be as crisp and clear and will start to look aged and tired.
