How can this be done and how much you think?

Ok, like many I am on the illusive hunt for JRX2/T decals. I cannot seem to locate any or even get a lead to some repro's. So, with this I found:
How easy would it be to get a nicely printed version of this made? I know there is a lot more to it than I think but that is why I am asking. How much should it cost if I locate a person who can do this?
Thanks for the insight.
Oh, does anyone have a scan of the JRXT sheet by chance?

goto signforums.com
goto the sources and vendors section
ask around for someone with a gerber edge FX printer
they should be able to do a 4 color job for like $10-15 bucks for that size.
the trick is to get the white "printed". the gerbers will do that
you might need slightly higher res artwork too, but that should come out ok.

Well, unless someone has a better pic that is all I can find anywhere. Other than someone on here scanning a high-res one for me. This is all I can think of to get some decals for my new body coming. I have wanted a box art 2 since they came out and never did one. I want to now.
So, does anyone have a high-res while I am at it? Heck, if I can find a person to do it for cheap I should print up a bunch for us?!
hmmmmmmmmmm............
Oh, forgot to ask, since I don't know this either. What are the dimensions for the decal sheet. I have no idea what length by height this should be.
thanks.

Sounds kind of arrogant but I am looking for identical if not better (new technology) decals. Almost as if you opened a kit and cut em out and slapped them on. I don't think waterslide would stay as well and would yellow over time. I build static models and battle that issue.

I know you have a NIP set sitting on top of your JRX2.
I sent Doc a PM.

What's this about a bunch of nip stickers?
I have 2 variations on the stickers, same part#, but can always use more
if the others don't hook you up with a set I can post/email a hi-res scan

I didn't examine them closely enough to determine the difference other than the color of the part #, but being the ocd type that I am I can't bring myself to cut either one until I have a spare

I want to say from memory, some of the smaller logos are different. I can't remember for sure, my memory isn't that good.

Ok, all of you "buddies" here with inside info need to share.
I would love to get my hands on any new or repro. If there is some magic bus running around the US please let it stop in my PayPal account where it will receive money.
I know I am not lucky enough to have these like many of you, but I really hope something can come of them here. If I have to I will use my inkjet and tape them on the body!!!!
Aconsola - may I request an email with a high-res of the two sets please. I cannot print them by any means but always love to have vintage pics.
