Hi folks,
As ever, have tried the search. As ever, got lost in the detail and also lots of old posts coming up.
Have 3 pieces of artwork needing printing. All done in Vector format in Inkscape. Some with filers applied to produce final artwork appearance. Related questions:
1) Side Art (x2)
What DPI should I get this printed at?
What kind of material should I get (got lost in the midst of "laminate" "monomeric" "ploymeric" gsm etc)
2) CP
These are gonna be interchangeable CP module - so need to be hardy. Read somewhere about "175 micron textured laminate" - would this be good? If so - where does this!?
3) Marquee
Would prefer to buy the whole unit pre-assembled rather than put it all together (and pref from the same printers!). Anywhere in UK do this? Also - lots of black in mine - so would i need two layers - one 'mask' layer for the blacks and second colours etc?
So in short - need a recommendation of a printer in the UK who has experience of producing arcade artwork. Feels like a pricey business to get wrong/experiment with.
Thanks folks.
