Title: Ready to print my artwork, tips please before I got to Kinkos?
Post by: bsoder52 on August 23, 2003, 12:23:52 pm

I'm ready to print my artwork this afternoon.  Any tips before I go to Kinkos?

What kind of paper should I ask for?
Any special way to have it printed?
Whats the best way to stick the bezel to the Plexiglass?  I'm thinking adhesive spray??

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

I had my control panel overlay printed at Kinko's.  I used normal paper, and had it laminated.  I did not use any adhesive -- it is just wedged between the mdf cp and lucite.  

The first time Kinko's printed my cpo, it was about a 1/2 " short on both sides.  I had them redo it, and the second time it came out fine.  This seems to be a recurring problem, so either have a tape measure handy when you go pick it up, or bleed the edges, making the 1/2" irrelevant.

Thanks for the response!
This is for my bezel though, not my CP.  Does anyone else have any input as far as what kind of paper, and how to secure it to the plexiglass?

thanks
