The first playable prototype for Asteroid19 uses a lamp-stand with graphics printed onto paper stuck on top. I am in the process of building a more robust prototype of the game, and need to print graphics onto thick card/wood. Any ideas?
The component in question will be hexagonal, about 21cm across. Inside will be a circle of printed graphics (the big circle in the attached image - note, this image does not include the hexagon), about 20cm across - i.e. the biggest circle that will fit into the hexagon. The component will have a 2cm hole in the middle, and four 1cm holes about 5cm from the centre. It is the main board in this board game, and will be lifted/removed from the box during set up/set down. I will provide drawings and more images soon.
A few ideas from replies to my welcome post:
> Cheap printing services like helloprint.co.uk or instantprint.co.uk.
> Self adhesive Sticker Sheets, Printed onto the sheets and then stuck them on the card + adding a clear adhesive film over the top.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the suggestion. For now I am planning to print the graphics onto paper using a normal colour printer, cut out the round shape, and use sticky-back-plastic to attached the graphic to 6mm plywood.
