Ok, here are mine! Call me OCD, whatever you want I'm a little embarrassed (ok maybe a lot) by this first picture. I SWEAR I'm not actually planning out the details this much. I just think that the only way I can justify the simplicity of my signs is by showing how they all work together.

Just gotta say wow
great job

I like how you modified the mickey ears in your DCL emblem. Are you printing your signs for t-shirt designs? You should be able to tell you printer to flip it/mirror in your printing options screen. kcul doog! lol

I am considering making diff ones for t-shirts but I don't see where i can flip from by printer options....any other suggestions?

What about from the computer program you are using again? Look at the set up or page options for your document. See if you can flip it from there. What kind of printer are you using? Maybe some one who has a similar printer will post...hint hint to all of you reading these recent posts from Showe. O.k., stupid quesiton coming your way. Did you do a search for "mirror image", "mirror", flip image anything like that for your printing options? I'd love to continue to help you. PM me your reply and I'll try and help you some more. but be sure to post the printer and program you are using, b/c maybe like I said above, some one will know that program/printer and be able to PM you too.

taeja71 is right on, that most programs will have the option. if not, and you ca open the image with Paint (usually any jpeg files, etc) then you can simply press Ctrl+R, and when the pop up window opens leave "flip horizontal" selected... viola!

I guess that's only true if you're on a windows PC... hope one suggestion or the other works for you!

taeja71 and tink2020 -
THANK YOU both so much. It was there in front of me the whole time. I have been using my Microsoft Picture It and I swear I have seen that flip/horizontal for a week and have passed over it ..... It took a 5:00 a.m. EARLY morning for me to finally see it.
thanks again....will keep playing around and will get some more signs made.


QUESTION: is there a transfer paper out there that can be run through a laser jet printer ?

Yes. Click on this link and then find the link in the thread. I'm sure there are other places you can get transfer paper for your laser jet, but the ladies from the DDA DISigns forum have used this person's product and swear by it. You could always do a Gooogle or Yahoo search too. Let me know what you end up using and with whom. I will need transfer paper for my laser jet too. Here's the first link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1041105&highlight=transfer+paper

Here in Uk we have something called blu tak i dont know wether you have this in the US.
We use this stuff to stick pictures, posters, on walls.
I was wondering if this stuff would be ok to stick door signs on the stateroom doors? ....the blu tak is easy to roll off and doesn't mark.

Can you color the magnetic paper after it is printed? My color isn't working on my printer and I wondered if I could color it in with markers?
