On: Rethinking the Whiteboard

[lotharbot]

A question I asked when these first came out:

how hard would it be to print a faint graphic on one of these? I glued a metal whiteboard to a utility table for gaming; the 1" grid dots are pretty important for the games we play. If I could get a Bertha with pre-printed grid dots I'd be all over it.

Alternatively, how opaque/translucent are these? If I drew grid dots directly onto the table surface and then placed Bertha over the top, how much would the dots show?

They're fairly opaque. If they showed at all, they would be very faint. If you had a lightbox underneath, that would be a different story.
