Where to get artwork in Canada?

As the title says, where are the places to get artwork printed (laminated, glossy or whatever) in Canada, Ontario preferably?

Cheers!

Shipping something from the U.S. to Canada for repair/exchange?  Please use USPS to avoid (additional?/excessive?) shipping charges.  PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks I'll look into that.
For the control panel I would like laminated so it'll stand up to the beating it'll get. Or an actual printed laminate I can glue to my MDF.

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to mention that I can print artwork and I am located in Kitchener, Ontario Canada.

Maximum size is about 52" wide x 150' long. I've been restoring arcade machines for 12 years and last year I purchased the equipment to start printing my own art (after getting frustrated with over-priced, low quality prints). I'm not on this board much, spend most of my time on CGCC.ca

If you need a quote or timing you can send me your art files or overall size and material requests to support (at) printshock (dot) com

This is a part-time business for me, I work full time at an engineering company so I can provide more reasonable pricing that some places. I can ship or you can pickup if you are close enough. There are some reviews on CGCC (and I think a couple people on here have had some work done as well).

Cheers.

Guys I just used DigitalAssult to print the artwork for my Punch-Out bartop.
I have nothing but EXTREMELY POSITIVE things to say.
This was the best quote I received for my artwork...and that includes options in China.
The quality is second to none, the colors vivid & all the art was cut to the correct size/shape as needed.
And if that were not enough the shipping was super fast !

For anyone looking for not only a great option, but a great option close to home try out DigitalAssult.
You will not be disappointed.
