Re: Reproduction Updates.

How do you get overlays printed? It sounds like you are making a huge
bitmap on a computer with the talk about fonts. What program are you
using? So if I wanted to make my own reproduction overlay, what would I
need to do? The art is not a problem, since I work as an artist for a
video game company here in San Diego and I use Photoshop extensively...but
what is the next step? Where can I get a bitmap turned into an adhesive
overlay for $35?? One other thing I would like to do is get a
thin cardboard replacement for the Space Duel cocktail silkscreened glass
artwork made, like the ones they sell for Ms. Pac-Man cocktails.
