Regarding prices, here are some quotes that I got from two different Southern California print shops (I had posted this also on the thread entitled Ambilzi & Grasshopper’s 1940 Global Map)
The first print shop provided the following estimates (note the $52 set up fee):
SET UP: $52.05 ( digital color file set up, latex printer set up)
48" x 105" vinyl $142.63 print digital color 4/0 on white smooth vinyl (15oz)
48" x 105" canvas $300.13 print digital color 4/0 on canvas
48" x 105" versa fabric $273.88 print digital color 4/0 on versa fabric
53" x 116" vinyl $174.63 print digital color 4/0 on white smooth vinyl (15oz)
53" x 116" canvas $368.13 print digital color 4/0 on canvas
53" x 116" versa fabric $335.88 please note: print cannot be any larger, printing on a 54" rolld
A second set of quotes from a different Southern California printing company for printing on vinyl (the type of material used for advertising banners):
48"x105" , white 64" Roland EcoSol Banner, solvent 6 color Roland 4sf $230.80
53"x116", white 64" Roland EcoSol Banner, solvent 6 color Roland 4sf $258.78
56"x122.5", white 64" Roland EcoSol Banner, solvent 6 color Roland 4sf $277.42
(I might check on the AliBaba website to see what I can find for printing services in China. Also, I’m checking on the possibility of printing on upholstery vinyl and marine vinyl).
