What media to use for CPO and Marquee.
« on: June 04, 2011, 10:35:44 pm »
I am getting ready to drop off my files for my CPO and Marquee.

What type of material would I want Kinkos to print the CPO and Marquee on?

You would want your CPO to be on Adhesive-Backed-Vinyl, Laminated unless you are covering it with plexi.
The Marquee should be on Backlight material, covered by a Gloss-Laminate.

Thanks.

I'm placing plexi on the cpo. So what would you recommend in that case?

I had my CPO printed on a white poly at Kinko's years ago.

I had it laminated though since I just adhered it with adhesive, but I'm sure it would be a durable material under your plexi unlaminated. Have them show you some samples.

Use the Adhesive-Backed-Vinyl.
Should be at least 5mil thick.
Place the plexi over that and it will last a long time.
You may want to have it Gloss-Laminated as well for that "shiny" look.

Stopped at Fedex/Kinkos. 

Getting Marquee done in some kind of photo paper they use for light box signs.  Samples looked nice.  That was $30.  Not bad.

The control panel is being done on adhesive backed vinyl.  That will be $75.  A little shocked at the price.  But oh well, I'll have it tomorrow. 

Lexan delivered today via UPS.  Getting closer to completion!
