Where do you guys print your artwork ?
« on: January 16, 2014, 03:25:26 pm »
So I just wanted to printout my custom CP artwork and tought, what the heck, I'll just go to Staples. Since my artwork will be sandwiched under acrylic I just chose their best quality poster paper, didn't need any fancy plastic type material or what have you. Man, does it look amazing ! Granted I don't have a lot of fine little details on my artwork but hey for 9$ can't go wrong it looks perfect. Will post pics when my CP is assembled.

Just a heads up for you guys as a cheap alternative.   :cheers:

For my bartop went to office depot for the marquee since it was unlit, bottom panel, and bezel since they were less than 11x17 inch it cost 20 cents each for 2 black and white test prints (marquee and bottom panel fit on 1 sheet bezel on another) then for the final prints was $3.17 a piece on 4.7 mil polyster paper.
