Need a tall background paper.

Collaredkeeper Aug 09, 2004 05:40 PM

I have still not found any type of background sheets for my 18" tall tank. What do you guys use for tank backdrops? Does anyone know a specific place to find background paper of this height, preferably a nice desert theme.
As of my today, my 1'x2'x3' (WxHxL) outdoor baskng cage is complete. It gives my collareds something to do.

YOu should make your own.

1. download a poster program. (poster7)
2. get some glossy paper for your printer.
3. get a background pic. www.naturezonepet.com/backgrounds.php
4. i recommend cropping the pic before you open it in the poster program.
5. once you get what you want cut out the pages and glue them or tape them together. the program overlaps a bit on each page
6. take it to kinko's an laminate it.(under15 bucks)

i know, it's kinda complicated but it beats spending all yer cash.

also, this kills your ink in your printer

anything over 24" is VERY expensive to laminate. if you choose to do this keep it just under 24"

Thanks,
