Give it a couple of weeks, Ken is working on the last parts, the seats and cockpit hatches, I 'm doing the landing gear right now, and the first drafts for the cover are on the drawing board...

What size sheets of paper will be needed 8 1/2 X 11, 11 X 17 ect.

**billy.leliveld** · #**507** 12-01-2010, 11:39 AM

Ken 's stuff prints on American Letter (8.5x11 inch) and A4 (21x29.7 cm)

if there is ever anything on a4 paper some designers usually layout out their stuff so its LTR size friendly,.. for me, if it ends up cutting off some stuff I simply set my paper to either LGL or 11x17,.. it wastes some paper but its a simple fix

no luck so far from the printers with inket or laser printer friendly metallic paper,.. then i though maybe a possibility would be to actually print a metallic ink on paper at the printers first,.. then be able to pass it through your/my home or office printer after,.. i dunno,..

I've never actually tried this, but I kindasorta remember someone suggested airbrushing chrome silver or somesuch on regular cardstock and then running it through the printer.

Theorhetically sound for inkjet printers. Would there be heat/flammability issues for laser printers?
