The outline ones would be ideal and Dacor Jerry said he might still have some and will look. If I cannot find any of that type then we’ll be in touch on it. Thanks!

After some more work, we think we're on track again: he's sending Phil the proofs! JB

We'll see. I've been here before, lots of times, but no joy. It'd be great to get these done!

If you can get me a size, I might be able to fake it for you: font matching can be exceedingly difficult! Case in point, look at the lower-case "a", it's not a Helvetica-clone as with most common fonts.
Also, if you could transcribe the text it would save me a lot of time: I am very dyslexic!

Back on it. I got back and the printer closed up for two weeks, but success is imminent. I paid for them and he'll send proofs tomorrow (hopefully)!
There will be 25 of each label (circle "Scuba" and banner "Deluxe", so I'll have extras!

You know, these are the rules we grew up with. These are the vintage diving rules, many of which were broken on the TV show, Sea Hunt. It's good to see them again. John

My wife and I have been watching Sea Hunt, she keeps looking over to me and chuckling something like, "What, no need for deco stops?" Although Flipper was even worse for that... JB

Phil just sent me images of the proofs, they look good so far, but as they say, "The proof is in the pudding..." So we'll see how they look in the end. Also, I just put together a first stage sticker for a Trieste for him too. As mentioned above, font matching can be difficult, but I was able to make something pretty close: I used the "Impact" font but had to customize the T's and E's as they weren't wide enough. Back in the day before PC's changed literally everything, all typography had to be done by hand. If you look very closely, you can see the subtle nuances in this Higgy label I started a while back: I'll need to bump up my DPI to 1200 now after Phil and I did all that back and forth with his printer JB

While working the other day, I followed 8/12. Not bad. Good Dives, Charlie
