This is my overhead. It was printed directly on the white plexy. I will drill holes for all my switches and buttons. @50.00 Canadian for the print.

First of all I think the picture is upside down. Check out the jacket drawstring that I'm assuming is hung on the coathanger that the panel is leaning on. And then you're right, unless its also flipped horizontally its been printed flipped. The writing on the panel reads Aft Overhead Panel flipped.

Here we go.... I captured it and turned it upside down and mirrored it :)

Aren't we a bunch of bright detectives :) :) :) Radar, thanks for the puzzle :)

Would you care to share where you got the print? I don't have to have a 100% replica cockpit, just functional.

Thanks Trevor and Matt.

Yes I really like the way they can print on anything now. I will only use the lights and engine start. Maybe a few more. It's going to be more for looks then function

Untill I can afford the real thing.

I had it done at Bobs copy center Mocton NB Canada. It's a new machine that prints directly on anything.

Thanks
Mike

Can you get us a sharp picture...?
Next best thing to a big touch screen and PMsysytems demo.

;)its crystal clear. I will get a real camera and take a shot. My phone camera sucks.

You can also make a poster of it and have it laminated one plexi or lexan.:p

:DI should mention that this panel that I use was from the Great Juan Cordon. I had asked the print shop to leave his logo on the panel,but the left the rong one ( ALF Overhead}

This is what is should be.http://users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/picts/logoFDtit.gif

Curiously has the better of me. I used to work pre-press for a decade. I take it, that this is CMYK silk screen printing? What LPI and ink setup are they using?
