Abstract (en)
Method and apparatus for sign-making using dry transfer of letters from carrier sheets allows any of a number of different character sizes and row spacings to be provided. A carrier sheet (s) bearing characters of a desired size is positioned relative to a carriage (20) in dependence upon whether a row to be formed contains all upper case characters, or some or all lower-case characters. The carriage (20) is movable smoothly in a horizontal direction to allow any desired horizontal spacing of characters, but movable vertically only in discrete increments. A plurality of row spacing indicators (8, 9) are positionable adjacent a sign blank (B) to afford a preview of how characters of a given size having a given spacing will appear on a sign blank.
