And who does it?  It has to be water proof for sure I have to many drunk friends.  Size is 19  x 51.

http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com can print it on durable adhesive vinyl.  I can vouch for the quality of their printing service, too.  My stuff looks great!

hmmm....i was reading their page and it said that they use a self adhesive vinyl that wont show fingerprints unlike "other" vendors who use cheap laminate.  huh?  i was going to order my cp art from mamemarquees.com because he could do the vinyl for my 21"x49" cp.  his will be much cheaper, but i dont want fingerprints....should i go with these guys instead?

I'd go with mamemarquees.com , he printed my CPO on this awesome textered laminated vinyle that is self adhesive and dosen't show any finger prints or smudges. I have been playing on it for the past month and the stuff still looks brand new, and I have been beatin the crap out of it. If I knew how to post a photo from my digital camara on here I'd show ya! Also the slightly texterd surface looks so cool, and you can spray it with household cleaner and just wipe it up with a paper towl. Do a search on here under mamemarquees.com and I'm positive you find some examples, plus the guy is great to work with.

I rember seeing a cabinet with an awesome marquee and CPO printed by mamemarquees.com , I think it was called "Koolcade". That could give you the example you want and hulk if your happy with the marquee your going to love the CPO! I'm no way associated with mamemarqees.com, just a happy customer. ;D

And just to give you specifics about the laminate I do use.  For once CAG is right about my work... I don't use a vinyl laminate for the CPs, I use a durable polycarbonate laminate, which is about twice the cost of vinyl laminate and twice the durability.  I probably should note that on my site...

One advantage CAG has over me is that he is willing to take the low road and put a lot of unwarranted bad press out on both me and emdkay.net.  We all do fine work, and there seems to be enough business out here, so I don't understand why...  I think he is just trying to justify his extra costs.

Scott from Mamemarquees.com, and thanks for the praise.
