But since it was free help and it is more than I could have done with my lack of tools I moved on and made it work. I unfortunately had to cut the marquee a little because of this.

The whole process of buying from http://www.mamemarquees.com was pretty painless and the staff was very helpfull on making suggestions and helping with corrections to my design. My biggest problem was I made everything at 72dpi on accident and instead of just printing it and sending it to me like that he suggested that I increase the picture to 300dpi so his printing process would look better. In addition I previously had made the X in the middle from scratch and that took quite some time for a non-photoshop savvy person like me. Since I made it in 72dpi I would have had to completely remake it but they happened to have one already and were happy to assist me in putting it in for me.

When I received the marquee by priority mail I didn't know what to expect honestly. Upon opening the box and spreading it out my first though was, this is just thick paper and a laser printer. But after looking at things closer and even holding it up to the light little details started emerging that made me take back what I had just said. The overall print quality was very even and smooth and even the small details had shown no flaws like some color laser prints I have seen before (where it looks like lots of little dots instead of smooth). The paper it's self upon closer inspection seemed to be quite a bit more than heavy paper and really did let the light through nicely.

Overall I am extremely happy with the job Mame Marquees did and since it is about $20 plus shipping to have one printed out I would highly suggest this route instead of the I'll print it off on my own paper and piece it together method. I tried that and it looked horrible even from a big HP color laser printer.

Anyway I didn't mean to get so long winded about the marquee but I like to give credit where credit is due and in this instance that is http://www.mamemarquees.com

DUDE, I clicked on that first pick, and it was DEFINITELY NSFW. Check your links! And
people, be careful until someone can verify.

I'm at work right now

I looked at the links and all they were linked to was http://shot1 when they were labeled with the link then shot1 as the link....


All of you that came up with NSFW pics must have some bad stuff on your own machines lol


I honestly looked at the first link and though you were speaking of my pub Signs on the wall :S

I just finished hanging them all up just now, there is a sign above the arcade that reads:
You are only young once, but you can be immature forever.
