good point i hadnt considered the new papers you can use at home now as i dont have the technology for that myself.
is there any visible grain in the paper when you hold it up to the light?
also how much light penetrates from a low wattage bulb as found in the dashboard??

if you do scan it, would you mind putting a link on here so a few of us could try it with our own personal changes etc, cheers, looks like a great idea.

the point of the UV light is that it only light up the white layout:) if you leave the numbers black it will not glow.. the UV light is placed in front of the white layout (not LEDs behind:)) therefor you dont need the light to penetrate:) sorry if my english is bad.. let me know if you dont understand. BTW if you bye a GOOD matt photopaper iy dont have any visible grinds:)

(the UV light I'm going to use is the same kind you will find in your "modded" computer:))

these could also be used, as they say they are for dash lighting
