I just got some quotes on printing on laminated lexan with an adhesive back and was shocked that it is only $12.00 a square foot. Is this the going rate?

so this is , you bring them a picture, they print it out on a giant sticker type thing for 12$ a square foot? if thats what it is i want it =)

Yea, that is pretty much the idea up to 36" in width and it can be a big sticker. The printer said with the laminated vinyl you could use it as a kick plate and it would hold up.
However, he just turned douwn printing my control panel for copyright issues.
I found it by going into an embroidery shop, to get shirts made for my school, and saw the advertisement for stickers. He then pointed to a sign they had made out of the same stuff. I'd check your local embroidery shop.

I don't know *exactly* what sort of material you are talking about printing on, but...
I was in place today and they do displays for trade shows and other signs and banners. I was asking him all about the giant full color vinyl stickers and he said the price was approximately $6 Canadian (about $4.60 US) per square foot.
I thought that was pretty good and if you're talking about the same stuff, then I guess its a really good price (if not, at least *I* think it's a good price :P ). Minimum order is $40 CDN.
Is this a good deal??

Oh yeah, tshirt (Especially silk screen/embroidery), sign shops and custom auto graphics joints are good places to scope out as well for laminated vinyl. Go scope joints in your local area.
Actually $12 a sq ft is a little pricey for laminated vinyl IMO. I paid about that for one job but I had it trimmed intricately by them so it would look like a silhouette and not a big square sticker. It was a helluva trim job, and they did great work. But otherise yeah more like $4 a sq ft as Peanut butter stated.

I thought we were talking about $12 sqft printed on LEXAN!!!
Right mtd ???
This is THE perfect solution for panels,marquee,AND sideart.This is how real marquees are and looks nicer then anything.
I still dont think its not that cheap.I mean reverse print on lexan probley cost a whole lot more but never know.
any confirmation from anyone ?
BTW,my local kinkos charges $7sqft on vinyl sticker.

$40, for 53"x17", 1440 DPI semi-gloss. Avoid Kinkos, I think all of their stores only have 600dpi printing in large format. (i.e. you can count the printer dots at arm's length in certain colors.)
