I can get them printed for extremely expensive amounts of money, which is why I'm trying to print my own.

How much are they asking for? Have you tried looking at other places that offer these kinds of services? Printing your own bandit signs isn't possible if you need to print them on that plastic stuff. Unless you want to buy those specialized machines that would cost you a left kidney.

He still hasn't explained why he need hundreds of these or why hes making outdoor signs out of taped together paper.
I want to help, but there comes a point when no amount of help or advisement is gonna solve this guys problem!

They are "We Buy Houses" signs. They sell them preprinted in the standard version, but I want to add my own personalized artwork.
Every site I've looked at is like $8.00/piece for custom artwork.
I should buy a special printer that can print that big. Where would I get one? What are they called.
Are you opening up a print store? This will be hugely more expensive than just the signs.

Oh god, that sounds super expensive.. anything custom is expensive,..why not just go generic - a lawn sign is a lawn sign..no need to spend 2-3 times more for a graphic.
and a dedicated machine - I don't know prices off hand, but its not gonna be cheap to acquire, or more likely rent, and then material cost too... just sounds like a disaster financially.

I'll be straight up, if I saw a ghetto-ass, taped topgether, sign claiming 'we sell houses' blowing in the wind, all tattered...there is no way in hell I'm calling to do business with you.

Which is why I would need a printer so they don't look ghetto.
But I suppose I can just use the generic ones. I was just trying to get a leg up on the competition and be a little different.

Dude. You want to make lawn signs out of printer paper? What happens if it rains? What happens if there is high wind? Seriously dude... It would look so unprofessional it's not even funny.
You need to get this kind of thing done professionally. You know those cardboard signs that say things like "We buy houses" "Windshield repair" "Roof repair" that people put up at busy intersections? Would you ever call one of those numbers? No, right? And nobody will call/vote for you/etc either.
Pay the cost to be the boss bro.
If you're hellbent on doing this wrong, there was a program called rasterbate that was out a few years ago that let you print across numerous pieces of paper but IDK what happened to it.

I'm sure he already has hundreds of his homemade signs out there, so it's irrelevant nowOh.

Now when you say hundreds..are we talking each meshed together sign or each piece of paper taped together, per sign.. It makes a difference here cause the numbers could be way off.
