Lord of the Rings Sting Sword Replica

I am working on making a replica of the sword Sting from the Lord of the Rings films. I am making it out of MDF and have been looking at various options for the elvish inscription. The plans I'm following (available here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Sting-Lord-of-the-Rings/) call for burning them into the blade with a soldering iron or woodburning tool. I'm not terribly comfortable with doing this as I suffer from postural tremors and will likely trash any attempt at finely detailed pyrography. I believe I've found my solution in using clear inkjet labels, does any one have a good idea on where to start looking for high-res or vector images of the blade inscription?

UPDATE: Not five minutes after posting this, I figured out that the PDF of the letters had embedded vector graphics. A quick import into inkscape and some pasting and scaling later, I had exactly what I needed.

Thank You
