Barrie,
No doubt that's the best way, but where do you buy the vinyl? Can you buy it in
8-1/2 x 11 or 11 x 17 sheets? I get a sign printing magazine and it only shows
this stuff coming in rolls. (Don't ask about the magazine as I don't know how I
got on their list, but it's free!). You can buy a used HP printer to do 11 x 17
inch sheets reasonable off ebay, but the vinyl used for inkjet printing I have
no idea where to buy this?
Best,
Will
