White Instruments

but if you have a scanner on your computer you can scan it? I think I can do some white layouts in photoshop if you give me a scanned picture.. if I make a whole white layout, we can lay it on top of the old one and light it up with UV lights will look neat I think

then itll be printed on paper and any lighting effect applied to it will become grainy. I do have a scanner but in the interestts of keeping the ciomputer simple its gone back in the cupboard for the time being.. i will see if it fits on the scanner bed later, for now its the morning after the night before

haha I see:P but if you print it on matt photo paper the results are pretty good..

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
