Tutorial: Printing your own marquee

<< < (5/7) > >>

added installed photos, they looked washed out but its really not, ill try to get better photos when the sun goes down.

keep in mind this is not a replacement to websites such as mamemarquees or emdkay, if you want real authentic marquee quality please head there  ;D

however if you wish to make your own high quality marquees that work and look good then the above tutorial is for you.

Since the roll of paper is 16.5" wide and I used 8.5" on the marquee in the tutorial, I still had 8" left so I used that to create this.   Had to add another user defined setting in the epson printer settings, 8" x 30"

NiteWalker:
Excellent. Can you tell us some more about the printer? How much do ink carts run and how many marquees can you print before having to change the carts? Can't wait for the backlit pics.

I used a marquee I printed for OldSchool before I had Kinkos print one on backlit vinyl. The one from Kinkos cost me around $20.

Between the two - the one from Kinkos is much nicer - but I was pretty happy with the printed one. I wouldn't mind using this method if I already had the printer and plenty of ink.

I had ordered a nice marquee from emdkay, but following saints book my marquee area was actually about 26" by 6.5" so I have the original emdkay file I will have to edit this in Paintshop Pro and print one of my own.  Do they have a glossy style banner paper?
