Even if you do out source it, it's nice to have done the process yourself at least once. Gives you some idea of what to ask for/expect. I'd use Krylon fusion as a first test.

Jpegs don't scare me. I bet they would be some big a$$ files though!

I've blasted marble and it was pretty easy. Slate must be similar density. I used Hartco 425(?) mask. The letters would look better painted in my opinion. Pretty easy since you will already have a mask in place. I used a blasting cabinet with a siphon gun. Pretty wimpy! I never tried with my...

Switch to Corel. I have a buddy who does all my printing on a Roland 540 something or other. He has a copy of Corel just for me. :rock-n-roll: Maybe you could get them to install Illustrator just for you?

The stuff I've used doesn't have any notes from the manufacturer on it. What is this "Rapid Tac II" you speak of?

I just do it wet.

Joe, you would produce stunning designs on an old 486. It ain't the computer folks.

I'm guessing skdave is single.

I didn't think your statement was elitist.. I just thought it was dumb.

Now that was good thread!

So.... what if someone comes up with some totally mind blowing new technology that makes all current graphics card technology obsolete? You're not gonna use it unless nvidia has it? Very forward thinking of you. :rolleyes:

They've both made lots of ones and zeros for me. I couldn't tell one from the other.

A suggestion on a different approach.

Do they "legendary" or do they "paint"? I think what they do should be the biggest thing.

It's a gesture to OP. He's been in hospital.
