Best materials for side art and marquee
« on: January 03, 2004, 08:47:17 am »
My uncle works for one of the largest printing companies in Canada.  I told him about my arcade project and said he would print whatever I want for marquee and side sart at cost price.  They can print on almost any material!

What material should I choose that will look the best (near arcade perfect)?

What Snaaack said except idealy you want adhesive backed vinyl for the sideart. Like the stuff they use for outdoor signs. Its expensive though so don't be surprised how much cost, costs. If they don't have the adhesive vinyl you can always spray it  on or use contact cement.
