printing a marquee
Ginsu Victim:
It's not mine. I just advertise for him. I've received a few marquees and CPOs from emdkay and they have been excellent.
deano7:
Well in any event, thanks for the referral!
D_Harris:
Will the artwork be UV resistant?(I'm worried about fading).
I assume this is inkjet. (Which I have no problem with).
Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I might use them next time, but they are a lot more expensive.
It doesn't say the resolution though, so no guarantee that's it's higher in res.
The print ends up being $20 for film + $5 ship. = $25/ea
Regarding the other link I posted above, the ones I got printed were ~720 dpi.
If you are 2 ft away, you can tell it's not that high in resolution, but a few feet back, and it's not noticeable. The website states a minimum $40, but I was under the minimum and was not charged extra.
In the end, I got 3 marquees for $10/ea and the entire order was shipped free because I had the control panel artwork printed there as well.

Hey Darren,
We do use professional inkjet printers. As far as fading, from our FAQ:
Q: How long should I expect my marquee to resist fading?
A: Under normal circumstances, out of direct sunlight and under lexan protection, EMDKAY marquees are printing on special material with archival ink that should resist fading for up to 95 years. Higher intensity indirect daylight can reduce fade resistance to 15-25 years.
