Bahtinov mask made in the Hunter Valley

G’Day All,
I have just got a Bahtinov mask made my a sign writing friend who cut it out of a sheet of 1.5 mm plastic cost about $10 for small $20 large + P/P .He said he can make them for anyone who will send him the print via E-mail. If you send them as E.P.S or A.I files he can put them straight into his laser cutter ,if you send them as Jpeg of gif he will have to change them over to one of the above files.
His E-Mail address is salesmynesigns@harboursat.com.au or mynesigns@harboursat.com.auhope I got this right as he just change it” Phone 0265746880 his office is at Mt Thorley Via Singleton

Ian, that's fantastic another option and relatively cheap one.
Could you advise what is considered small and Large? I am guessing C8 and above would be large is this a fair estimate.

Resize it smaller, jpg it or even reduce the colours in it, use just a portion of the photo even

Use MS paint found in every installation of windows since 98. go to Image - Stretch/Skew, change the first 2 boxes from 100% to 50% and then check the size, keep going till your all good!

Ian,

You might want to edit your initial post. The email address is incorrect -- harboursat, rather than harvoursat.

Regards,
