[sdiy] Inkjet Printing on Aluminium

[Toby Paddock]

This sounds a bit like what I saw from a trophy shop.
I don't remember the name, but if you search the archives
from a couple years ago for stuff like " trophy panel "
you should find whatever it was I said.

I think I later posted about laser "etched" panels, but
before that was some ink jet process.

Later,
Toby Paddock
