How Best To Get A Marquee Mounted??

[eggedd2k]

rather than wait for one to appear on e-bay I downloaded a high quality Defender marquee from the arcade art site.

I want to have it printed it's proper size so i can mount it on some plexiglass.

what would be the best way to attach it to the plexiglass? the only way i can think of would be like a car sticker and stick it to the back of the plexiglass.

I would not attach it to the plexi.  I would sandwich it between two pieces of plexi.  For printing, send it to Scott at Mamemarquees.com.  He does excellent work!

thanks. mamemarquees are expensive. i can get it printed on a colour laser for next to nothing.

what would you use to hold the two pieces of plexiglass/glass together to stop it sliding around?

search the forums some more for this.  you can buy marquee retainers from happs. or you can make some like i did out of clear plastic corner protectors that you can buy at lowes or home depot. i just painted mine black.

Its 20 bucks for a marquee print at Mamemarquees.  If you can afford it I think you will like the quality a lot better.  I used Happ marquee retainers for mine.

quality isn't an issue - i can get it printed high quality no problems. it's the mounting i'm looking at - it's going on the wall not in a cab at this stage.
