whats the transparent marquee material?
« on: October 19, 2009, 05:24:30 pm »
i want to design a marquee for my fbot,i know its transparent so the light shines through it,anyone know what the transparent material is actualy called or can direct me to a site or something so i know what to look for when trying to buy it.

i intend to print the design myself with a standard printer as it is not a big marquee,sort of a4 sized.

its not flimsy like normal paper but it bends.

i am in uk.

They print custom marquees. As far as I know this is the best site to get your marquee done.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

You really don't want to print your own if you don't have the proper equipment. Check out the link in my signature.

i am not asking for a place to get my marquee done.i asked what the transparent material used for some marquees is called or where i can buy some.

i plan on printing my own marquee as its a fixed odd betting terminal i am converting to mame.no point in paying someone to do it for me especialy when mamemarquees is in us and i am in uk,i only need a small one in the first place.

i could buy a4 glossy photo paper and use that,apparently its good for backlighting but,it leaves me needing to put a piece of plexi over the front of it,where the transparent plasticy stuff i am asking about wont need anything in front,either way i will sort the marquee out.
