Custom Vinyl Backgrounds?

[Suzanne2]

Has anyone ever gotten a custom printed vinyl background for their tank? If yes, where did you get it?

I painted backgrounds for 2 of my tanks, but I would really prefer to have my paintings printed on vinyl so it could stick to the tank and be waterproof. I just don't know how to go about getting them scanned or photographed and then where to get them printed, or how much it should cost.

If you have a sharp photo or kinkos near you have them scan your art work onto a flash drive maybe

Should work fine, ideally the proportions and resolution should match the dimensions of your tank or it will get stretched/ distorted during printing but its going behind water anyway.

Yeah, the painting matches my tank size exactly. The seller says they can print custom sizes, so it should be able to print exactly right (I hope). I added a tiny bit at the bottom to allow for me to trim it as needed since the first time I measured to the substrate when painting, then realized that was dumb, so I tweaked it in photo edit.
