I have seen that kit... on the picture only. Does anybody have any experience with that? I mean... I will not buy it anyway, but I am curious. I have my own methods already but would like to hear some opinions if there are any.

or Corel Draw and few others....

Hello John, I also saw your email. Thanks. I do no think you can do such thing technically. Even if you get the sheet scanned, you will loose the details, sharp lines. To make good quality film you need good drawing ideally in vector format, especially if you plan to enlarge the pattern. In...
