[sdiy] automotive decals

[Jean-Pierre Desrochers]

Hi David,

Have a look on my ftp pictures here:
http://www.arcenson.com/projects/modular/M100%20MIDI%20Interface/Module%20pictures/

I use self-adhesive laser printed vinyl for my frontpanels.
The trick is to "laminate" the top surface of the vinyl right
after it's laser printed. Then it won't stretch as it normally does
and it's also more scratch proof.
Just use your personal drawing software for the design
and print it !
I personaly use FrontDesigner ver3.0.
A small german vectorial design tool.

Good luck !
