ISI Shops Local, You Should Too!

One of our best customers, Parker Sales and Service, Inc. (psasinc.com), here in Sparta, will soon be one of our best vendors, also. PSAS will be supplying Imaging Specialists with vinyl materials for our banners.

We can get better quality and craftsmanship than we can anywhere else and we already have a relationship with them. ISI has maintained the PSAS website for several years, now.

Grommets, pockets, extra hems, special stitching- whatever your application demands, we can now supply it. Our first job with Parker is “high profile,” the new VISITOR INFO banner above the Chamber of Commerce!

Want to support your local economy? Let ISI quote your next banner project!

Imaging Specialists to Partner With USGS

Imaging Specialists is now an official Business Partner with the United States Geological Survey. We can sell any USGS product from topographic maps to historic maps to satellite image posters!

We will begin with topographic prints of the county and we will also stock maps of the quadrangles including Independence, Grassy Creek and West Jefferson. Relief maps, large wall maps or any other USGS products will be available for order.

Alleghany is fortunate in that seven of the eight maps that make up the county are vintage 2010, vector images. (Note the different coloring on map D in the illustration. Also, the green county outline is for position only, it doesn’t print.) The most up to date map for the northeast, Cumberland Knob portion of the county is from 1981.

Vector images allow for the greatest flexibility in printing, we can turn off road names, for example, and they can be resized without loss of resolution. That is, they stay sharp at any size output.

If you need maps for your business, organization or even your living room wall, call us!
