Lightbulb Just tossing around an idea....

and need some feedback.

Before I start, I just need to say to the moderators that this post is asking for feedback of an idea I have from the group of chevy/truck/gearheads I trust most, and in no way is this post intended to be a sales post. If this post needs to be removed because it's viewed as such, I apologize, but please let me know.

Now on to the nitty gritty

Most of you know that I used to ebay white face gauges for our trucks. I only had one design because of the gerber setup fee for each design change. There was a guy in the midwest that had the ability to print these up on a quality vinyl using a plotter so the ink was super infused into the medium, etc etc.
Then suddenly, the guy just stopped printing them up for me. No warning, nothing. So I stopped offering them on Ebay. There are print shops I could go to around here but the price would increase substantially from what I was getting them done for before.

Life got busy, yada, yada...but I've always felt bad about just not doing them anymore and kept thinking of a way I could do this and then it hit me that I could offer the file on CD in several formats that could be distributed so the end user had their choice of where and what medium they printed it on. They could take it to kinkos or a company with a full blown gerber plotter to have it printed however they see fit.
I could also take this a step further and offer custom designs if I did something like this since I have all the fancy software and template to make it happen.

Anyways, it would be a lot of work, but could offer some better (and possibly custom) solutions to people to dress up their gauge cluster.

Things that I would have to consider:
unauthorized reproduction/distribution....um that's all I guess

Thoughts/Comments/Suggestions/Advice??? All are welcome.
