    Been wanting to do this for awhile. Cheap key chains from Amazon/China, copy back glass images from a certain pinball vendor site, resize to 120x120 pixels and print.

    What resolution are you printing at? 150 or 300 dpi should be print standard, preferably 300 dpi if you want crystal clear precision. 72 dpi is really just for web graphics.

    Lol, yeah, true, I wouldn't be surprised if a C&D is already in the works. This kind of stuff needs kept more quiet (if they're going to be for sale). But I have seen these on eBay before. I'll make my own before I buy some. And just give the extras away to friends. For as small and inexpensive as these are to produce, it's not worth it to step on someone's intellectual property to make just a few small dollars per item. You'd have to sell 100 of these to clear $50-100 probably. Too much work in my opinion.

    I just threw them into MS Word, set to "best" quality and printed them. They look fine for what they are.

    No shit, right? Just making them for myself and giving some to friends who have pins.
