Well, I called on a sign place Fastsigns, in this area, and they said that they could easily print a marquee for me, but it would cost 65$.
Chris, I am still looking for a bargain place in my areea, but I may just call American Colr Scans. They sound like a great deal!

: There have been many people that printed these on Inkjet printers and then pieced them together.
: If you want another solution you can take it to a print shop that has a large scale inkjet (line an Encad Novajet). They are 36" and 48" wide and are fed with rolls of paper. They can print on photoquality paper, transparency, back-lit sign material, sticker paper, etc.
: If you can't find a local source - I can recommend one here. (Columbus Ohio). American Color Scans. They have printed a marquee and sticker for me - the marquee was $16.00. It was printed on backlit sign material and looks wonderful!

: : I see in a post some time agao that you can print marquee's on an inkjet using "a roll of photo quality paper".
: : Where can you buy such stuff? Also, can you buys 24" Long transperancies anywhere? This might work well.
: : Any tips? Or should I blow it off and just bring the file to my neareest Kinko's?
