found that going to local screen shops, you could frequently talk the owners
into doing the work for you for pretty cheap or for a trade. Offer some
computer skills, build some electronics, etc... You will want to buy the
screen and the ink but you should be able to negotiate your way into using the
other resources with little problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV> I'm considering all the different ways of
applying the print/design on my future projects. I'd appreciate some general
opinions on the different methods people have found useful.

hobbyist do this at home, or does it require serious
machinery?<BR><BR> -Proto<BR>------<BR><FONT
