When I started etching PC boards, the new thing was to use transparencies or glossy magazine paper with a laser printer to create dry transfers that could be ironed on. Now this is DIY mainstream. I've seen Briggs and Stratton and other machine decals on eBay made on blank decal paper, using an inkjet printer for the graphics. I suppose one needs water resistant ink, but this should be another DIYable method. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
