UK - anyone need a CPO printing?
jimmer:
Rockyrockets picture above is one of the samples he sent me, which I referred to in an earlier post.
For info, it is the walk-on laminate coating. It is textured and as far as I can tell, indestructible.
It is sitting on my desk as a constant reminder to get my own panel printed up.

Maybe something has changed - the order was always printed in italy, what about yours Minwah?.
Infact the image below is from them.

I don't think the quality of that sample look all that good, the edges of the shapes and letters aren't particularly sharp, I wouldn't be over happy with that, #justsaying

It is expensive...would £20 include the heavy duty lamination? I think that is a lot of the expense.

Ok guys, so I have mentioned more than once that pixart are my go to printers however the last thing I want is anyone thinking I have caused them to waste money.
So I have taken some better quality shots of some CPO`s that I have from pixart so that people can give an honest appraisal for anyone else who may be thinking about using them.
Also if us brits do have a better and cheaper alternative then please speak up as I will jump ship myself :) .
Its worth being mindfull the top laminate has a bit more grain to it than other CPO`s I have had from other US sources but is marketed for walking on.
Anyway here are some shots with a microswitch for scale...
Here you can see a spare print I made for my tempest cab compared to the one from GOG already fitted (ignore the colour difference it was an experiment).

Thanks for posting the images, I still don't think their printing is particularly good quality, may be it's the laminate that makes the images less sharp. I've used printed.com and my artwork is excellent quality, printed at 300dpi, the only downside of printed.com is they can't cut to shape.
