    With all the digital photography and printing advances is there an inexpensive way to make your own trans light? I sold my collection 3 years ago to fund my business. Happily I'm back in the game with an Iron Maiden Premium on the way. I like the art package but would love to replace it with the Powerslave album artwork. I know its a long shot but thought I'd ask.

    It cost me right around $70 the last time I had a full size translite printed at the fedexkinkos near my work in wauwatosa WI .

    We may need to talk. My wife is actually pushing me to do a retheme on Hardbody.

    She wants you to work Arnold and Lou into the mix?

    How about this alternative translite? Do you think she will like this better?

    At least the original has 80s cheese.

    I found this but it's it's not cheap.
    I've found local print shops that would print it but I can't find the full graphic like this translite has. All the images I find via google have the edges cut off like the album cover.
