| 1369439 | 2014-03-05 02:37:00 | My father has an A1 sheet - it's clear plastic and has some kind of map lines on it. Like an overlay. He wants a copy of it. It's not a photocopy because it has to be clear plastic - so he can lay this thing over whatever he uses it for and see through it. He tried various places who say they can't do that...he hasn't googled cause he doesn't know how to describe it....neither do I really. Any ideas where he'd get that done? |

If it's a printed image then you will need to get it scanned and then printed on a wide format machine on a clear substrate. if it's just a grid, we might have some left over at work. Any chance of a photo |

He asked various places, but they do paper....or laminated things, not copy some thing off plastic onto clear plastic.... |

Surely this can be carried out with a photocopier. Put the clear plastic sheet onto a blank piece of paper (to act as a backing) onto the photocopier. Use a mylar plastic sheet in the feed tray of the photocopier and copy as usual. This is what I used to do when I was teaching many years ago. I presume you can still buy the mylar sheets... |
