Re: how was this made Thanks Charles, the image has a very heavy hand to it, almost feels like vinyl.

Re: how was this made Sorry Fred, can't find our magnifying glass. Would screen printing leave a small semi transparent 1/8th of an inch out line around each letter? The outline is visible in the photo.

Re: how was this made If there is a small outline that is transparent it sounds like it is some type of transfered material and not directly printed.

Re: how was this made Bobbie, I tend to agree with you it does seem to be a transfer of some kind I'm just not sure of the type of material.

Re: how was this made Looking at it closely it looks to me like a opaque transfer cut with a plotter maybe.

Re: how was this made What threw me is the thickness of it. Not a puff, somewhere in between. I'd really like to duplicate the style, I think it looks really cool despite the heavy hand to it.
