Wight Scientific logo
Wight Scientific started out selling supplies and services to scientific researchers. Then 20 years ago, when the first personal computer came along, we branched out into computer software, starting with PAPERBASE, a personal bibliographic database for scientists. Once desk-top printers became common, our SIGNWRITER and EASYSIGN packages pioneered large-format printing with vector-outline fonts. The arrival of vinyl-cutting plotters allowed us once again to pioneer affordable sign-making systems around our VINYLWRITER software.

The computer industry has come a long way since those early days, and powerful companies now rule the world in most of those software niches where we innovated. Nowadays our research and development focuses mainly on LEDs (light-emitting diodes)
