Make 12x18" signs at home on 8.5x11" B&W laser printer

It's a very interesting little ditty, if you wanted to make giant posters. But I don't see why you'd want pointilized letters. I don't understand. Please explain. The letters are truetype free road sign fonts. What's pointilized about them? | Any ideas for how to get the paper transferred to plastic with common home | equipment? Spray adhesive? Expensive. It's basically rubber cement in a spray can, so you could also use rubber cement. I'm liking more the idea that Susan came up with which is to use the printouts from Rasterbator to figure out exactly the layout and size of the letters, and then buy stick-on vinyl letters and then cover them up with some kind of laminate or adhesive. That would eliminate the paint spraying. Vinyl letters don't appear to be cheap though, at least not on my first few hits anyway. Lots more expensive than a $1 can of spray paint is plus maybe another $1 can of some kind of "varnish" to protect the letters. This page discusses the right vinyl letters for outdoor long term signs. [https://blog.signwarehouse.com/outdo...l-signs-last/] |
