Title: Printing Dials
Post by: Breaker on 11 April 2006, 22:13

Have been reading through some threads about printing off
dial kits and sticking them on to the dials
i would like to do this but my digicam is really bad quality
and i cant get any decent pics.
does anyone have any pics they have used or
even a .psd file??

If you're gonna do this, I would scan the original dials. Put them on the scanner bed with a piece of white paper behind them.
You'll get a much better image from them and if you do it right, you can also maintain the correct size.
Getting them to print out in the correct size will be the biggest problem, that's why it's got print and resize until you get it right, no reason why it shouldn't work though.

But using Word to create your new dials????  :sick:
Do it in a decent graphics package, then you can layer it much better.
