Ok everyone long delay between updates but I finally got the Marquee assembled and put on after some problems. I had designed the Marquee one way and the person who was helping me cut it differently and really threw things off by quite a bit.
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
