I have a graphic I want to put on the side of my case, however I don't have the art skills or talent to do the graphic as well as I want. Here's a sample of the graphic. I just want to take the text and the sword and turn it into a graphic, and drop the skull and its backing all together with photoshop.

Anyone know if there's a way to simply print it out onto a clear sticker or get a vinyl with that kind of detail made?

some shops here use a cutter printer i dont know what it called but sumthing like a needle to cut out the grafix from the stickerpaper.

maybe you can go to the nearest sticker shop on your place. and i know they can edit also your graphic. :)

Yeah, best bet would be to find a company that does signs and logos.. they can likely modify it to how you want, and print / cut it for you.

I've taken a couple of bike company logos to the local sign shop to get vinyls cut for my car, and they turned out great!

:) why don't you put a higer resolution pic and i'll see if i can do what you like.. i'll post it back here :)

then if it's nice.. you can go to a local printing shop and print it on special paper :) i did this a couple of times, but not for my case.. the absolutely easiest way to do this cheap is to take a paper with glue on the other side (unprinted sticker) and put it tru a laser printer (b/w or color). i did this too and it looks decent when done.. again, not for sticking it on your pc...

but after doing a high quality print (or more), you can try to see if it can be laminated (it can be.. but this is optional as its quality may vary with the skill of the laminator) and sticked to your pc.. then you can clear coat over and have it permanently bonded to your case... just a suggestion.. i can do the printing and laminating for about 3 or 4 bucks here.. on a laser photo-quality printer.. i'm not aware of how much they charge where you're from.. but it's waaay cheaper than going to a shop.. they would probably charge the labor too..

Sometimes if you go to record shops they make vinyl stickers just draw something give it to them aand pick it up the next day

Is another option, you might be able to work a graphic for your case that way. Just remember, however you do it to make sure you have the highest resolution copy of your image possible.
