i'm making a new arcade machine, and need to control panel overlay printed. i found a bunch of sites that want over 50 bucks to print this thing because it is Mortal Kombat.
does anyone know where i can get something this size printed on photo paper?
i tried printing it myself in my house on 8x11, but it takes 6 pages, and has to be pieced together, and kinda looks funny
here is what it looks like pieced together

yeah it's not necessarily cheap, ink is expensive, photo paper is expensive, and the printers that do that size are very expensive. single prints are not exactly money makers for these people, there's some labor involved usually. check adorama, mpix, bay photo, white house custom color. even costco. costco does a pretty solid job of printing, i had all my wedding photos printed there, and they can send out custom stuff. i've heard their standard sized photo printer/developer system is a half million dollars. the larger stuff i used to operate was like 20k for a 5' wide roll printer.

Get Vader to print them for you along with a couple of extras and sell them online?
