Fiver,
Ace's suggestion is right on. I've done exactly this. (www.geocities.com/buckey29). My page is poor, but click on the link to my pics at the bottom. The MAME logo was printed on the paper that Ace talked about.
It works great! If you can't find a source you can call American Color Scans in Columbus Ohio. They will do the printing and send it too you if you want.
: I checked out the Robotron 3000 and was in awe-- only I still don't have a clue how one would go about creating such a thing. Anyone have a moment to answer my clueless questions or at least point me in the right directions. I have an old Gyruss cab I am in the process of scoping out for a MAME box.
: Sorry for the plethora of questions but I have searched and searched... no luck yet! Please help.
: 1.)What material do I purchase to print on. Vinyl? Where do I get it?
: 2.)I hear Lexan mentioned as though it is a fabric like material and a glasslike material. (and a dessert topping and a household cleaner - sparkle is both!)
: Are there different kinds, and where do I get it. What about glue?
: 3.)Assuming I have this wonderful material, can I print on it using my plain old inkjet. Will it run or fade or smudge? Should I go to a print shop?
: Thanks-- I've been reading and reading and this is a great resource so far.
