Print

Has anyone recreated LISA keyboard menu cards?

If so can you share your technique or do you have some to share?

You can refer to this thread. I also host them here.

You rock this is fantastic! I love your stuff. How did I not know about this?

Any suggestions for trying to print this on plastic.?

It just occurred to me that perhaps laminating it would be a good way to go?

Well, if you print them out on card stock or a thicker weight paper, depending on your printer it may roll the paper as it's fed through causing it to curl. Flattening out the paper after that can be tricky. I haven't tried printing directly on plastic. I don't really know much about what options are available for that material.

These are particularly tedious to cut out - you can use an x-acto knife if you want. It becomes harder if they are laminated. I've tried this a few times - the photo you see in that thread is my "it's good enough for now" attempt. I really ought to try again using the color versions of cards, although I'm a millennial without a color printer so I'd have to get them printed somewhere else.

(Printer companies are evil (!!!) and I only really need a B/W laser, which is why I made a B/W version.)

Obviously the best (and costliest) solution would be to have them professionally printed and die-cut...
