I had the sideart printed at Souldraw.com, and they turned out incredible. They're all vinyl, and look incredible. I did have the bezel art printed (as an afterthought) at Staples and DO NOT RECOMMEND. It turned out "okay", but with two major issues - one, when I had the art printed, I sent it in with picture-perfect dimensions in the file, and they printed it too small. Seriously - it was about 3/4" shorter on each side. That is unacceptable. (Worst part was that they have a real jerk running our print shop here in Ajax, and she argued with me that I should have specified the size when I sent it, rather than expecting them to "know how to print it properly." Isn't that your frigging job?)
The second problem is that you can see that the resolution isn't as good as the vinyl either. Thankfully, it's behind the plexi, and it looks 'acceptable'. Next time, however, I'll go with Souldraw for everything.

Google "Taito Side Art" and check out pictures there. That's the inspiration for the Titan's lines, and should give you some ideas of what you could do.
Rick:
A quick render of the latest order... ...hope to see this one delivered next week:
And, so you don't think I'm sitting around being lazy, a quick new design for the shop. It's still very basic. I haven't added much of my own 'design' to this design. It's more of a first draft.
I can't explain it, but I've received more requests for full-size cabinets in the past week than I have since I started building.
Mamezilla:
Nice job Rick ! :applaud:
Now I just have to find artwork for my Titan. Wil probably have to go thru Souldraw. Anyhow, Staples doesn't do adhesive vinyl prints of graphics / clipart. They only do letters / words / numbers. This added to your experience convinced me to go elsewhere.
Do you plan to offer in the future some artworks for your kits ? If I remember correctly, you did at a certain time.

I hope to. I haven't come up with a convincing layout as yet, but I'll keep you posted!
