  1. Lamination Cost and Pricing....

    The more detailed your pricing is, the more arguments you are setting yourself up with. I've got a set square foot price for unlaminated and laminated prints.

  2. Question Never did this before..................

    I would recommend doing the whole window. Print the black background and leave white letters. Might even look cool if you can get close to the vehicle color instead of black. Laminate with optically clear vinyl and seal the edges with strips of clear as well (if possible).

  8. Laptop or desktop?
