I have a vector logo about 11" by 17" (tabloid) and it's only 5 colors including black and white. My town has a dozen or more printing shops plus a few dozen car detailing places. I've never done anything like this, so I was wondering if anyone has a good idea on what to look for in a good price for the above specifications before I go calling the different stores.

I'll be printing 2 of them, one for each door panel.

Thanks

That's a lot of colors! What is the complexity of the design? Who is going to apply it, you or them?

EDIT: You mean plotter-cut, not die-cut.

It's yellow, orange, red, black, and white, all solid color pieces. The design isn't too complex, it's just two circles with text on it. I would not apply it, it'd have be done at the detailer. I just did the logo.
