Small scale D.I.Y. print options?
« on: March 09, 2017, 09:29:25 pm »
I'm making a mini that's only 7 inches tall, so I figure my artwork should be easy to print myself or locally. Is there a consensus on best paper, printer or means to pull off a small DIY job?
Now witness the power of this FULLY OPERATIONAL Mame machine!

Being that small makes it really easy and cheap to test everything out.

I cant remember but I think I just used a semi gloss card stock when I did my mini (check my signature) I probably could of spent some more time and test other types but I am happy with the results.

Local or at home I cant imagine it would be more then 10-20 bucks to print a few different copies out with different types of paper.

Do you already have a build thread? Im interested to check it out.
