I have this MAME cocktail cabinet that I bought years ago. It has a non-standard sized top of 38"x24". I wanted to update the graphic underlay to something like this:

Image from  http://www.arcadeoverlays.com


However, most places I have checked don't seem to be able to make anything 24" wide.  Scratch Head I'm not concerned about the corner and control area cut-outs as I can do that myself. So basically I just need a 38"x24" rectangle with or without the center pre-cut. Anyone know of any sources that have something like this in the right size?

I'd ask around with the pinball guys.
They have Translites made for their pinball backglasses.

You might also check with Mame marquees which is going by the new name of Game On Graphiix.  They do alot of custom work.  gameongrpahix.com is their website.

At my office we have plotters that are 42" wide and use roll paper.
HP sells these and a 24" plotter as their only two units.
While they are called plotters they are basically just big Inkjets.

We use ours for enginerring drawings.

Most repoduction companies have these along with similar sized scanners.
We occasionally send out to get stuff scanned and re-printed (ie when another company gives us a drawing).

One of the problems is coming up with a properly sized graphic image to begin with. Blowing up a small picture to the proper size usually looks bad or takes a lot of photo-shop work to resize it first. However, the place I referenced in my first post just got some larger material in, and can now make me what I want. They are just a bit on the pricey side, so it may need to wait for now.
