Marine Backgrounds

[omega59]

hey guys, i have an HP Printer does colour,bw,photo's too. i was wondering where i can find some cool marine backgrounds online so i can print off in sections so it will fit my tank. what i mean by section is that my printer will onlt take legal paper size 8x12 i think it is, so it will have to print each page seperatly then i can join then with tape.

THANKS!

Alternatively if the tank isn't alreadty set-up you could spray it and get a miles better finish. Personally though, I perfur black, but each to their own...

To spray, mask up any pains you don't want painted, wipe down with methelated spirit, painbruch cleaner, white spirit, nail varnish remover, Jhonson't flea spray or any other alcohol besed cleaner/liquid (not vodka, whisky or other alcoholic beverage mind ), before appying 2-3 even and thin coats of gloss spray paint Nice even finish, uniform colour, not prone to watermarks and no visible joints in the finish

All the best

The roblm you will have with a printed piece of paper is that if you get any water on the printed surface the computer ink will run, then will not look nice. I prefer black too.
