it was to be a hobby

the hollow letters will clog very quickly in an etch screen even if you could get one produced that made a sharp etch. You might also consider a font change since the little serifs will clog quickly also. Marking Methods could make that for you but you wouldn't get near as many impressions from the screen as you would if you made those slight changes. I spent several hours the other day trying to get some decent home made screens made and I know I couldn't make that logo clean enough to use unless it a very large logo. If you are going to start etching, you will eventually want to make your own, here is some etch info I've pulled together, good luck!

I was hoping that someone who knew a little more about the technical aspect of etching would weigh in. Is this sort of a design one more suitable to the technique?
