I am a long time lurker of the DISboard and even longer Disney fan, The question I have tonight is how do you design the i9mages to use on door magnets.

I understand how busy people are and I hate to ask people to use their time to design/personalize images for us for each of our trips.

I design at least 1 T-shirt for each of our trips using the YUDU machine that my wife bought me for belated christmas (I think she just wanted an excuse to buy me something so I can make more things for her).

Any help in a starting point would be greatly appreciated.

Mike - many DISigners post blanks, so you can modify them. They are posted for anyone who wants them. The sticky's at the top give you a good rundown on how to do certain things.
when I make magnets I print the image on heavy paper, laminate it and put stick on magnets on the back. Other people buy magnetized paper and run that through the printer. Enjoy & Welcome. :goodvibesPenny

Hi Mike welcome to the DISign thread,,,
It took me months of exploring here to learn a couple of things.
Now I have to ask what is a "YUDU" Machine?

The Yudu machine is a screen printing machine made by the same people who make the cricket scrap booking machine.

I use the disney cartridges to cut out what i want then expose them onto a screen. after that it is just a matter of using T-shirt paint to squeege paint through the patterned screen onto the shirts.

It is a great machine for running multiple of the same designs onto shirts.
