Printing Arcade Artwork

Hi, wheres the go-to place these days for getting arcade artwork printed for cabs etc? Its been a few years since i got any. Somewhere that will print what i send them with an adhesive back preferably i guess, in ireland??

I dunno, ive looked at https://www.arcadeartshop.com/ and thats grand for dedicated cabs but not for whatever sort of cab this is i have, poker i think. So will probably have to get some custom art printed i do up myself.

Cheers

Well muddymusic adapted some art for me on a robocop cab I was going to do. Put it on the long finger though.

So it's worth giving him a shot and asking for specs etc, it's not just what's on the website that's available

Cheers, I might give him a shout, i can create\resize etc myself in photoshop ive done it in the past, its more getting them printed, was wondering if there was any cheap places in ireland that did it these days. if not ill give him a shout. In fairness he looks to be the best at doing it around!

Maybe ask around local printers. Most of them have those huge Roland printers and can produce the artwork. Muddy really knows the specs people want though and could be the best option with as few headaches as possible

I'm going to be sending some stuff too muddy this week I think.maybe we can split postage.
Getting a bezel, cpo and a marquee.
Just learned illustrator earlier.had a good file to start helped a lot.

I used needaprint.ie and they were good and cheap-ish. Also used digitalprintingireland.ie who were equally good

I've used both arcadeartshop(muddymusic) and https://www.gameongrafix.com/
Arcadeartshop were easy to deal with, quick shipping and printed exactly to my size which was slightly bigger than than the size he'd listed for a MK2 cab.
What I will say is gameongraphic self adhesive cpo's are unbelievably tough, they are far superior to anything else I've ever seen printed but postage cost is a killer from the US and they are expensive as is. If it was a self adhesive CPO needed for a commercial venue I'd use them but hard to justify their prices

Yeh gamongrafix printed my stuff for the first cab i built and it was unreal quality to be fair. The control panel whatever its printed on is like leather!
