Dear Car Club Members, I would like to introduce our MagnaSign printable magnetic vehicle sign to your club members. MagnaSign has been used by many car clubs such as the Oklahoma Mustang Club due to its low cost, easy print and strong per- formance. At less than $6 per sign, MagnaSign can be used on regular ink jet printers and color laser printers. It allows users to print their graphics directly on a thin flexible magnetic sign sheet to make their own magnetic vehicle signs. PictureBusiness Magazine has lauded MagnaSign as one of the “Two Nifty New Retail Print Apps”. More information on MagnaSign could be found at our web site, www.cuichu.com. Should you need any samples, please feel free to call at 212-888-0967 or e-mail at [email protected]. Many thanks for your interest and we look forward to working with you!
