where do you get your prints ?
« on: April 08, 2014, 09:33:29 am »
so i kinda finished with the hardware and my question now,
is where do you get all your printing done ? and how much does it cost overall. .?
i mean the Control Panel + Marquee + Sides ?
what do you even print on for the marquee ?

i came to the local printing store here and asked for how much it would be just for my cp graphics and they sayd 20$.. just to print the graphics in size 75*26 ...
so amm
i didn't even asked about all the rest \ sides (the sides alone would come up .. to 200$ .. )

where do you get to print it all ?

and another thing how much does the plexiglass cost to you ? (for the cp) \ do you put plexiglas on the sides ?

It all depends on the quality you want. $20 for the CP is expensive if printed on paper but printed on polycarbonate laminated vinyl like gameongrafix does (for  $33.99) is not that expensive. Same holds for marquee and sideart...

I bought from user Lucian045 for my Macross build and was extremely impressed by the quality of service and materials.

Holy crap.

Maybe going with a sign guy who builds arcades might be better for me then a sign company who dabbles in the Olympics.... 

Now I have some thinking to do.

Tell me about it. I almost ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- my pants with how easy the art went on, bubble free. If I were doing a full size cab, I'd definately give him my business.

Does anyone know if this lucian fella does marquees?  Or is it stickers only?  I got through 7 pages before I had to step afk.

He does it all and more. He talked me out of a bad idea last Christmas. I Really need to have him print some stuff. Got a whole bartop ready.
