Print marquee at Kinko's?
More Cowbell:
I need a fairly small marquee for my son's mini-cab (18.5" x 5") so I just want it done cheaply and quickly. If I go to Kinko's with a file to print, what should I have it printed on? White paper? Heavier card stock? Transparency plastic? It will be rear lit by a fluorescent light so I want it to light up well. Any experiences out there?

Backlit transparency.
It's $15 a square foot. If it overflows into 2 square feet they'll try to charge you another $15 but don't let them - they can break it down to actual print.

How are they for printing CP overlays? What's the recommended method?

i went to kinkos last week to check out prices for a cocktail underlay. the charge was going to be 85 bucks w/ one side laminated. granted, i live in nyc, but i thought the price was ridiculous, so i contacted scott at mamemarquees and ordered through him-for HALF the price and much better quality. i don't know about cp overlays, but i really don't think kinkos is the better option (economically or quality-wise). just my two cents.

Another vote for Scott and Mamemarquees.com. He is very competent (easily handles custom requests) and the quality of his work is excellent.
