Print marquee at Kinko's?
Crowquill:
I'm not always Kinko's biggest supporter, but I do work there. I'm one of the production guys that runs the giant inkjet. The Deskjet really does do some nice prints.
The "back-lit" material works best for the marquee. It's $15/sq ft, but all of the old pricing states that there is a $25 minimum charge that they may enforce. This is what my marquee is printed on.
The "indoor banner/polypropylene" option would work well also, but the material is more opaque. Colors will be washed out a bit due to the white background material, but you should get decent results. It's $7/sq ft at most stores.
With the dimensions you stated it'll only be 1 square foot.

With the new POS system that started in October of 2005, there is no way to enter in a partial square foot. We enter in the dimensions of the print, and the computer does the math and charges by the full square footage.

I agree - Scott is the way to go with most of our needs, but for the marquee - I've been pretty happy with the backlit vinyl.

I was hoping to save some money by going through Kinko's but it appears that it will cost close to the same thing as going through Scott (assuming $25 minimum). Thanks for the input all around.

I'm sure Bart will be happy no matter what route you go, but only fools don't choose Scott.

yeah, don't bother with Kinkos....I had several marquees printed at Kinkos, and had Scott redo every single one of them....they just don't look good at all. Scott's work is top notch the first time, every time.
