from the link…what does it mean by print full template or no template?
Also, what’s the CP size you chose and the height x width?
Much Thanks!
Once again, read my post with the reference to a Canadian business, not mamemarquees.
I would like to know this too for SE
I think I’m going to use MAME Marquees as well, but I’m just a little nervous. I know it’ll be easier to just forget the button holes since those can be cut though the metal panel, but what about the trimming around the art and screw holes (lol)? Leave that on, right?
Also, should I give them the exact measurements of the template art: 8.473 x 13.473 or something else?
The template would be for if your cabinet didn’t have holes already drilled into it, and you were using the artwork as a template to drill them. That’s not the case for arcade sticks, as the holes are there already.
As far as the size, I believe it’s just the size that will arrive to you. I’m not sure why you’d want it bigger than the image, as it’ll just be spare material thrown away, but whatever.
Also, their FAQ requests that you leave your image in RGB, fyi.
My question is, would it be better to go with no adhesive, and use your own slightly less permanent backing ?
Well, that answers my questions, thanks!
I think I’ll be taking their adhesive with mine when I go to order.
Loldotcom I see no reason to go without adhesive.
Lucky…
How would a home printer like an Epson RX680 or Stylus Photo 1400 do compared to a professional printing shop?
I modded my stick today (all that’s left is dying the bezel black which I’ll do tomorrow).
SO Lame. Cut very nicely, applied perfectly, however those DAMN white circles under the red splashes stick out like crazy. It’s driving me insane. I want to order another but it’s too pricey and it’s a good hour or two more of labor…agh…
Likkuid maybe you could color in the red circles with a marker? I’m sorry you had to make such an expensive mistake. 
If you’ve got new buttons in there, try white buttons (Maybe even test with your stock buttons to see how it looks). If the circles are white also, it might camouflage a little bit.
Sorry about the messed up space around the buttons, but any chance of a pic just to see the overall print quality?
Waiting until I die the bezel black. It’s 15c out today (usually in the negatives) so I’ll try and get it finished.
Placed my order for 2 control panels overlays with MAME Marquees yesterday. With a coupon it came out to $56 shipped. Will take pics when the vinyl gets here.
Printing of images
I saw the post regarding printing at Astley Gilbert. I am a manger here at AG and if anyone needs prints done. I can get you guys special pricing if enough of you want copies of the same image.

hey likkuid have you considered modifying the original madcatz template in your first post in the Official Street Fighter IV TE/SE Fighstick Template Thread so that the button holes are properly 20 pixels smaller already? then maybe everyone can download the new templates and avoid problems in the future.
How well does the, print at some printshop get the art laminated then use 3M adhesive, option work? There’s no Kinkos close to me.
Basically, how good is that 3M spay on adhesive?
an idea
Another idea for those of you with decent ink jet printers… even if you dont have a large format printer, most printers can use 8.5x14" paper, so go buy some matte 11x17" photo paper and carefully cut it to 8.5x14 which is plenty of space to print a template for most sticks, ex2, Madcatz SE and TE.
Does anyone know to order from MAME MARQUEE? I have the template ready to go, but I’m confused on how to order it. What link do I click on to have it special ordered? What file do I upload it in? I’d appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction.
So to get the lami-label from kinkos you need to print the image then have them laminate it?
if so could i print my image out on my own personal printer then have them lami-label that image?
