for those that are computer savvy, a little bit of extra time and know how to use a sharpie and marks-alot you can customize your discs.

Example of discs:
12-08-09_1857.jpg


I created a stencil of the image i wanted (correct size to fit the disc, etc) and then taped it on the back of the champion disc. I always remove the writing with acetate (nail polish remover) so the plate is clear of writing and/or logos.

once the stencil is firmly attached, i take a fine tipped sharpie and fill in the stenciled areas. (from experience) i have found that going over it once (or more) with a marks-a-lot really darkens the lines.

once the disc gets wear and tear, cleaned, etc, the image will fade and look a lot better. Think of how the signature on the back of your discs looks after a few cleanings... if you really want to help it along, you can use a diluted mixture of acetate.

2 sample templates:

you can do the same process with star and pro - but you need a very high powered light (to shine behind the disc) and the stencil will be faint.

once the stencil is created, the inking process takes 15-20 minutes.
