Transparency?

[tinnmann]

What's the process of putting graphics onto the skateboard using transparencys?

[samhell]

I use transparency for all my graphics at the moment.
The results are amazing, but it is a pain..
I'm in the process of making a tutorial, but in the meantime,
check this out, it's the exact same method i use.,
Except i cut everything precisely so very little clear transparency is left.

Sam, do you print your designs full color?
Because those gradients look damn good.

[samhell]

Thanks,
Yeah, I do them in full color. I have them printed at a printer
nearby who does them on a zillion dollar lazer printer.
And use high quality acetate film. It turn out much better
than anything I could do at home.
I print them in reverse, and paint the back side white.
It's a pain, but I can't do it any other way and get the same look
without a lot of $$$...

Sounds good, man!
Looks like i'll be doing the same.
How do these transparencies stretch?

you could find a printer with a gazillion dolla printer that prints directly to the wood. Saves time, money and alot of messed up work.

Pay no attention - move along.

Nothing to see here.
