Go to www.postersw.com and download there poster maker. I dont know if your printer is capable of printing on banner paper or not. If it is somewhere in the printer setup it will have a setting for banner paper.

Just something to consider....I went to Kinkos to print my marquee b/c my cabinet specs were somewhat larger than regular 8.5" paper.  Anyway, it cost me around $45 to get it printed. In your case you might want to consider buying a printer with banner capability. At least you won't be forking out the $$$ for a one time deal.  Just a suggestion....

its 7" to be exact.the size of the plexi is 9".then you have marque retainer that will cover up around 2".so the actual size would be like 7" or so...it really cost you $45 man? :(

what about i print on cheapest paper out there...just wonderin... :)
