Title: What happened to emdkay?
Post by: justinjstark on December 21, 2010, 01:02:31 am
I need to get some artwork printed.  I wanted to try emdkay but his website isn't working.  The image dropbox on his page isn't working and the contact form on his site won't let me send him a message.  Is he still around?

I sent him a message on these forums a few days ago so maybe he will respond!?

Where else do you guys get artwork printed?

If the drop box is not working try email or phone

Okay.  Thanks.  I need a 16.75 inch by 6.5 inch print for a control panel and gameongrafix cheapest is 32.95.  This seems like a lot for such a small print.  Is there a cheaper option or will I just have to pony up the cash.

I'm been doing custom art for my cab through GameonGrafix.  I can't buy all my art at once, so I've been doing a little here and there.  I do my art custom so it actually costs a bit more, but I can say this, it's worth it.  Scott at GameonGrafix always does an awesome job, and the customer service is just as good.  I'd say it's worth the money.

I plan on building several cabs and I'm trying to cut costs as much as possible.  The local sign store quoted me $25 for the marquee and control panel art printed on vinyl.  Has anybody gone this route and how was your experience?

Is the vinyl translucent?

Well the cp need not be translucent.  So I can save a lot of money there as gameongrafix wants >$30 just for the cp alone and I can get 2 or 3 printed for $25.  I will take a look at the vinyl they use before I have it done and see if backlighting would look ok.  If not, I will do more looking around for the marquee.
