Title: Where to get vinyl adhesive printed.
Post by: Richard McTagger on January 16, 2015, 06:03:37 pm: Hey guys, I have a quick question. I'm currently building my first cabinet, and I have some custom side art that I was hoping to get printed on adhesive vinyl. Reading through the FAQ and some of the older threads, it seems that www.gameongrafix.com (http://www.gameongrafix.com) (once mamemarquees) was the recommended source for something like this. However, a couple other online print shops that I've found do adhesive vinyl banners in the same size for about $20 less.
My question is, then, is there any reason to go with a vinyl print shop that specializes in arcade graphics specifically? I'm willing to pay a bit extra for better quality, but is there anything that arcade specific sites are going to give me that an online shop or my local print shop won't?

My last build I had to go cheap because it was a budget build for my nephew,so I went with a local guy.The results were OK but the quality and durability are not near what his work is. look at my build threads and see for yourself

Forum member stpcore can print these. He does quality material and is a pleasure to do business with. He's somewhere near Chicago if I'm correct. The prints he did for me are great, + he can do marquees using translate material. Send him a private message and check with him, I'm sure he could work something out with you.

I use these http://www.displaytrade.co.uk/ (http://www.displaytrade.co.uk/)

Thanks for that.
What format do I need to send the images in?
What do I need to request for the CP, marquee and side art?
Sorry, first time at doing this.

After some debate i decided to go with souldraw. Their work looks good. I have not received my stuff but they did send me pics of the finished product and it looks good!
