Need Help with Making Decals
Re: Need Help with Making Decals
There are a variety of printers available that can print with white ink. However, they are expensive and the cost per sq. inch is high.
Most high end sign shops will have a printer that can handle the job, but they don't like doing smaller jobs. You could also see if there is a vinyl wrap business nearby. Some of those shops are starting to add these style printers.

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
CSeils on rctech...Custom Racing Decals. Very reasonable, high quality. He has done custom F1 decals for me as well as other projects, like wraps on sprint cars. If you have the files he should be able to print them very easily.

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
Thanks but it looks like he prints on white vinyl, not solid white on clear.

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
Too bad Shapeways doesn't add this capability to their shop. It's a bit odd that we can now buy 3-D printed items easier than 2-D.

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
What about the "Safety, Service & Security" sticker on the cop car? It looks too clean to be white letters printed on a closely-trimmed black vinyl...slotcarrod wrote:Thanks but it looks like he prints on white vinyl, not solid white on clear.

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
Absolutely not the case. The sheets are clear vinyl that are just like any other rc manufacurer's decals.slotcarrod wrote:Thanks but it looks like he prints on white vinyl, not solid white on clear.

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
That's good news! If DHood can't do anything, I will get him to do some. Do you have any contact info?

Re: Need Help with Making Decals
I'd be interested to know, too. I'd consider sending him my Turbo Buick sticker sheet proofs and have him print them out on proper vinyl sticker sheets.slotcarrod wrote:That's good news! If DHood can't do anything, I will get him to do some. Do you have any contact info?
