I recently had circus city do a print for me and the result was top notch. I supplied the artwork I made with photoshop. A single 8.5" x 11" sheet print was $80.

The print was graffiti I pulled from an actual trinity hopper car image and then I redid all lettering of the road markings to bring back the crispness of those portions. I found out after sending over the photoshop file and despite setting it to 1200dpi resolution and converting all the text to vector that the small lettering loses it's crispness on print. Illustrator is the ideal format for printing so if you have that program then save out as a pdf or .ai then that is what you want to send to Matt for print.

He did redo the lettering portions for me and all within the $80 minimum charge for a single 8.5x11 single sheet first print. It's not cheap for a small amount of decals but if you can fill a sheet with unique artwork that you can use or multi print and sell sets from it then it could be worthwhile.

I think it would break the forum rules to post it here due to it's political nature lol.

DM? I'm not politically correct or sensitive. Just looking to see the quality.
