Title: Opinion on Printing Services
Post by: Havoc on February 08, 2005, 04:39:42 pm

I apologize if there is a thread on this subject matter already (I didnt see one).  I recently built a mini cabinet due to space limitations, although it looks clean it is missing that arcade feel because it has no graphics on the side.  I am fairly good at putting graphics together using photoshop, my question is: do most builders use a service like Kinkos to print out their graphics and if so how is the quality, this would be my first time using a service like this and would like to hear anyones opinion on the matter  .....Thanks

Dont use Kinkos. These people know what the are doing and do a great job at it.

I just got some stuff from mamemarquees and would highly recommend it.

Some others have recommended www.classicarcadegrafix.com in the past.

Do a search here for the companies mentioned and you should find a heap of stuff, with opinions on each.

I highly recommend Scott's work.  Also, Scott can print your CP using laminated vinyl.  So it doesn't require plexi cover.  Most others don't offer this.

Kev at RetroBlast reviewed MAME Marquees recently. Oh yeah, here it is (http://retroblast.com/reviews/mamemarquees.html).

I've got some stuff from ClassicArcadeGraphix, and they're excellent.

I also have a good piece from classicarcadegraphix, but there have been a number of people with negative reviews of both their service and their quality. I've never heard the same of mamemarquees or emdkay.
