Where to print custom work?
« on: February 01, 2011, 01:54:52 pm »
I'm in the process of building a UAII kit with a Chicago sports theme (we have a household of sports nuts, see attached pic).

I had an easy time finding someone to print my CP underlay.  Worked out great.  I printed my own marquee at work, but I can't use paper big enough to have it be seamless and when backlit, the seam looks like crud.

I went back to the same company that did my CP art and they can't print on anything lighter than 100lb paper...so, does anyone have suggestions on where I can print marquee artwork?  I saw in the FAQ that there were some suggestions, but I'm not sure which one would work best for custom art (and possibly a custom size on the UAII).  I also don't know what would best the best type of print for using in a marquee (just have the standard plexi sandwich).

Any suggestions or experiences are appreciated.

Marquee turned out great.  I had it printed on backlit material and when I hold it up to the light it looks perfect.  Haven't had a chance to install it yet though, but will take some pictures when I have it done.  Customer service was excellent as well.  First printing was lost in the mail, but he printed another and 2 day mailed it to me without any questions.
