Another Printing Service (Coming very soon)

RandyT:
Ok, we've had this one on the site as a "non-link" forever and it's time we activated it.  :)

Sometime in the following week we will update the web pages and begin offering specialized printing services, starting with marquees and following on with control panel overlays.

We will be offering some standard designs of our own creation, and custom printing of original works.  Original works submitted to us for printing by their authors will receive a substantial discount if they agree to allow us to add it to our library of stock images.  E-mail for details.

Now I need to get this out of the way...

We will not accept images for print containing any trademarks or copyrighted images.  Too many have had serious complications for their businesses (read: shut down, equipment seizures, etc.) by doing such things.  We won't do it, so please don't ask.

On to the more fun stuff....

Our printer is considered a "fine-art reproduction" class printer with full Postscript3, auto-color calibration, auto-head alignment capabilities and utilizes a dedicated RIP server.  The new price was about $12,000, if that's any indicator as to the quality it produces.

The media is absolutely the best I have found for this type of application and I have used many.  Vibrant colors, excellent contrast, no washout, no material "grain" and water resistant.  It is a matte-finish heavy polyester material specifically designed for back-lit applications. It can be placed between 2 pieces of plastic, or simply taped to a single piece facing outward as was done for the following pictures.

Freshly trimmed, laying under a flourescent lamp.
You'll have to get a lot closer than this to see any "dots"
Behind the plastic, back-light off.
Well-lit room, back-light on.
Completely dark room, back-light on.

The colors are actually more even and saturated than the camera is showing, particularly in the green and light-blue parts in the center.  Note the contrast between the light and dark parts of the image.

Currently, we estimate the cost at $25+shipping for a marquee of up to 8" tall and 26" wide and will scale upwards accordingly based on size requirements.

Thanks for looking.
