Specification for printers based on my research...
Dimensions : 24" x 72"
Stock : Foamboard
see post on context blog for justification of this decision.
Print processes : Digital UV printing directly onto foamboard
Finishing : Computer aided cutting process - router cutting (see linked video)
Cost : £48 per board
Assembly : On shop floor
Stand : Included in cost
I have found that all the printing companies I have investigated that print life size cut-out boards offer either square or contour cut as the finishing process, so it would not be necesary to submit any net design (as I previously thought) or any other direction in this area other than choosing between these two options when sending files for print unless you needed something particular. Also, in terms of a stand, this is something that would automatically come with the board if specified in the initial discussion with the printing company, you would not have to design your own.
