Spectacular printing service for Arcade art. Must see!
(1/18) > >>
Justin:
After months of searching and trying diferent options, I finally found a place that will print my custom Centipede Bezel professionally.

I tried printing this thing in 3 places, and the results varied from terrible to 'just OK'.  I was after a professional quality print, something equal or close to a real bezel.  Well, I found it!  Actually someone from the forum pointed this out to me, and it has been mentioned before on other threads.

The place is called http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com/ and the results are spectacular, I kid you not!

They specialize in arcade graphics for CP, Bezels, and Marquees among others.  they will even resize to fit your custom dimensions.  Note that I did not buy any of their own graphics, so I cannot say anything about the quality of their art.  But I sent them my own Adobe Illustrator vector file of the Centipede Bezel I had traced (took weeks to complete the bezel BTW), and I can tell you the print quality is unbelievable.   I consider myself quite the anal person, and I cannot imagine how this printout could be any better.  It can't.  Nope.

If you are planning on printing your stuff, I wouldn't look anywhere else.  Oh, did I mention pricing for this was $35 shipped?  And excellent customer service from them.  Arrived in 3 days or so, and well packed (quite cleverly too) so the vinyl arrived in perfect condition.  

I am posting a few pics now for you to see.  First a picture taken with my digital camera: (at an angle to avoid flash reflection)

And now a Mega-Closeup.    

The important thing is to note there is virtually no print pattern, graininess, or any other artifact from the printing process itself.    With other prints, I could see grains with my bare eyes.  Not here!!!

Howard_Casto:
the pictures are pretty impressive, but i would hope so of a print with such a low color count and such high contrast.  Some full color prints, like the tmnt sideart, would make for a better example of their abilities.

wow that's pretty impressive quality. i wonder how much they charge for shipping to canada.
