notice I said if I want to do it MYSELFPlease don't tell me what companies can do it for me!
Well, we could use some more information Is this just a one time thing? Or are you going into production? What kind of metal? What shape is the metal? (Is it flat sheets, or curved surfaces, etc?) Is the metal small enough to be handled, is it mounted on anything? And thenwhat are you going to do with the image ? Is this a pattern you want to transfer to the metal? or is the image itself the finished product (like a photo)? Ok, lets assume you want to transfer an image to metal for the purpose of doing something to the metal itself, like etching or scribing it.maybe even cutting it to create silhouhettes, etcLet's seethere is the common overhead projector, an arts/crafts projector (this type is placed OVER the original, and projects it up on a wall, or screen), etcTracing paper, copier, etcTrace the pattern you want onto tracing paper, or photocopy the pattern, and tape it to the metalYou can even use paper that has a sticky backing on it.a lot of wood carvers use this type of paper to transfer their images onto the wood blank, for exampleI asked about whether this was a one time deal, or productionI know you can purchase a printer that will put your image right onto the metal, just like a typical desk printer uses paperBut these are a bit expensive, heheheOhthere is always lamination tooprint the image onto some kind of stock (paper or transparencies), and then laminate it onto the metalIt would help, if we had more of an idea of what your intentions were here.remember, more details will result in better answers, heheheHave Fun
