If I can buy a hi-res copy from the guy, then I just might use it. A couple more questions, especially for Trav. I was talking to Chongolio, since he does a lot of work with vinyl stickers, and he said that applying a large vinyl sticker to a large piece of opal acrylic might be hard, especially to get all the air bubbles out. He said that even if you use a pin to pop every little bubble that shows up, they will still show up like a big ol' pimple when the image is backlit. If you guys have any tips on applying the vinyl image to the large sheet of opal acrylic to minimize or eliminate the air bubbles, that would be awesome. Maybe I can have the image printed onto a sheet of vinyl without an adhesive backing, and use some kind of spray on glue or tack to adhere the two. I'm also looking on getting the image printed directly onto the large sheet of opal acrylic as well. Hopefully I'll have an answer on these options soon.
