Fast and good custom marquee printing in USA?
chopperthedog:
After waiting 25 days for a single marquee from emdkay I inquired on the status and was given a "we hope to have it shipped in about 2 weeks" response. I decided to request a refund and seek out a different option. So who is doing marquee printing and laminating to plexi that won't take over a month and a half? Also USA based.
good day.

I just went to my local Kinko's and had them print on their special back-lit ready Mylar. It's a thin piece of plastic but after sandwiching that artwork between two pieces of 1/8" plexiglass, I was good to go. Cost was $30.
As an alternate solution, you might want to consider GameOnGrafix:

ditto for kinkos. The one I go to has savy graphics person who really knows their stuff. I handed them a usb chip with my artwork in a photoshop file and they were able to print it beautifully.
I also sandwiched mine between two pieces of plexi and recommend that method highly.

I'm giving GoG a try. The kinkos route isn't a bad idea, I'm just hoping for the extra money that it will be a better product i.e. being true black when back lit. After waiting for 3 1/2 weeks for TOG to ship 2 confirmed in stock items and the marquee BS, my first go round with these 2 vendors has left a strange taste in my mouth. C'mon GoG the ball is in your hands now, go for the gold!!
good day.

That seems to be par for the course, Chopper.
