I received my shipment of reprints from ClassicArcadeGrafix.com today of a bunch of minimarquees. First order of business? Take pics and report to you guys. :tickled: The reprint order was for (I think - can't remember exactly) 51 minimarquees. I received a few extra at 56. Unfortunately, I also received one duplicate and two I requested were not printed for some reason. I am guessing they were accidentally skipped. I have emailed CAG to ask if I could get them printed. The order I received cost me $65 + shipping. I feel it was money well spent, and works out to a cheap price per marquee.

The marquees were printed on a backlit vinyl material. On to the pictures! :buttrock:

A pic of all of the marquees.. 14 to a sheet :

A close-up :

The back! They are slightly transparent.. enough to let the light through well when held up to my EL panels on my cabinet :

I will take pics of them in the cabinet once I have them trimmed to fit the marquee display. Some of them are slightly blurry due to the original image being lower quality, but not enough to make them unuseable imo. If it bugs me enough I might have to hunt down some higher dpi scans. The high quality scans (especialy the fan-made ones from the forums here) came out REALLY well. As far as I can tell, there is only one imperfection due to printing (a slight bubble on one MM). Overall, I think they are excellent.

So what do you guys think?

For 65 USD, you got a steal of a deal imo. Looks great. In regards to the PPI,the resolution should be no less than 300 but I prefer 400 just incase adjustments need to be made.
GOOD STUFF.

Woo, CAG has replied sayking they will print and send out the two marquees they missed. Nice customer service. They didn't say anything about it costing me money so it sounds like they are doing it free of charge.

Buy lots of stuff from them! =]

If I'm not mistaken, the Matrimelee one was from lithy's thread here.

It almost loox brighter than an original...I wonder if that has sompin' to do w/ the lighting behind your mini marquee. I'd be curious to see how it loox lit up in my 4 slot. Can you post info on how to contack CAG so that i might buy some from him to test?
