An old technology that is used in a new way is the stack fed dot
matrix printer. This is a pretty cool way to print directly from your
personal computer right onto the Spirit masters paper. The pressure
will mimic that of hand drawn tracing stencil creation methods.
24 dpi (dot per inch) is preferred to get the detail required
for a decent image. These machines will run from $200.00 to
$900.00, and can even be found in pawn shops.
