« on: March 31, 2010, 11:42:34 am »
Hello,

What is the best way to get art printed on plexiglas, or at least, to get it beind plexiglas and stay there ?

Also, what's the best way iluminate art from behind (for the marquee)?

Thanks again in advance!

Again, I would recommend  http://www.mamemarquees.com, they will print a marquee on the same type of backlight material that you would find on today’s arcades and then laminate it with a luster laminate for a great finish.

thank you for the replies!

I have take a look at http://www.mamemarquees.com and is looks good. The only problem is they don't send fully printed on plexiglas outside USA and Canada...
