Re: OI Graphic Overlay. Any recommendations?

We then use the very same drawing less the graphics for a drilling/punching template and then legends for buttons and LEDs are part of the design. Plot on larger paper for training purposes or judge demos.
What Al said, lol. Although I've used Word (old school) and Photoshop to create mine. Recently, we've printed out the graphics on thick glossy photo quality paper and use some spray adhesive to secure the overlay to the plastic button box. We've done this since 2000. You can find examples in CD-Media.
