Large Stencil Printing

Anyone know I could print out a large stencil? I have a camo one created for my old kampus that needs some new graphics. I was thinking taking it to staples with a file save for each layer and printing those out in black on a large sheet of paper.

the problem is gonna be getting card stock that big. It'll be a shiznackle stencil but you can probably tape a bunch of card stock or manilla folders together and then rasterbate your image.

I was thinking of having the images printed on large paper and then having them laminated.

O that would work. Don't know how easy that would be too cut or how expensive it's going to be but it will definitely work. How many layers is it? Good luck cutting it out and lining up the layers.

Yeh when I did the one you see in my avatar I blew up the image on card stock like 12 sheets of paper, taped them together then cut it out. A little time consuming but not the difficult.

i used construction paper and printed right onto that and cut out the nike6 mutant stencil from their site and use a spray adhesive on back and layed it down on grip tape and used it like 7 times until it got destroyed cuz of peeling it.

wakeboarderdave, You have come to the right place. It just so happens that I managea large format print company. Along with making full color prints up to 10 foot wide in one piece, I have a cnc router that we use to create... STENCILS!! We cut them out of a thin plastic material called styrened. It's flexible enought to roll, but lays flat. It is rigig and perfect for what you want. We make hundreds of stencils for Sprint so they can paint numbers in their parking garges. PM me and I will be glad to help you out for a fair price Very Happy

The idea for my skate's paint job came from a Terry Kennedy pro model deck.

Here is what I'm thinking of using with something I made in photoshop.

I need to find a way to throw the skate logo on the board as well (k41). I'm thinking of just doing it in a different color since I have made a stencil for it already.

is that to scale or is it gonna be a pattern made of "blobs" about that size? Either way it looks like it's gonna be a beach to cut out. Unless you are really into cutting out stencils it might be a good idea to get a stencil from wakeshredder.
