[sdiy] US Industrial Silk Screener Recommendations

[Chromatest J. Pantsmaker]

Check out those "shopping mall" t-shirt or "sign" shops... I know my
house-mate owns a business in Tempe, AZ which can "print" full-color
onto a white aluminum sheet.  There are size restrictions (probably
the size of the metal, or 11"x17" which is how big the printer is).

Ask the places if they can do sublimation heat transfers onto aluminum signs.

This is the way that I'll be doing my panels.

And in case you're wondering http://www.brandxstore.com is the store.
They specialize in t-shirts, but can do a whole lot more.
