Top Force Evolution Decals

Hi all,

I'm just testing the water with this one. Some of you may know i've been trying to get these decals reproduced to a very high level for quite some time. Finally I've had a quote to get some Evo decals reproduced to a good enough standard to warrant my interest. Unfortunately, to get them at a reasonable price I need to purchase 35 sets which come in at 20.28 a set. So, that means i need to layout 710!! The sets themselves will be as near as **** it identical to the originals, having been produced in the same way the originals are.

I've banded it around a few places and reckon i've probably sold 11 or 12 sets, but I really want to get this upto 20 odd if possible, so I dont expose myself to too much expenditure. I'm not getting these done to make any money off them, I will be selling them at what they cost me, should I get them done. So it will be 20.28 + postage costs at cost. Potentially this may go down a few pence.

Please let me know if your interested, and how many you'd like?

Cheers

Richard

Hi Morloc,

Thanks for the offer. What are you suggesting they are created with? Digital reproduction doesnt work, the colours arent bright and vibrant, nor can you get an exact match. I worked in the sign industry for 6 years, and my family own a sign business too so I have quite an insight into reproducing this kind of image. The problem is with these decals to match the colours you need 7 seperate lots of printing.

Image of decals attached..

By all means let me know if you have another way.

Cheers

I use a dyesub printer (dont like to give away anymore :D ) so like you say i print each colour to get them vibrant. I sell sandscorcher decals decals sadly im limited to size as i can only print things to about 80mm x 52mm. Most of the decals on there i could do. Prolly could do all but would have to maybe do some in multiple parts. The benefit i have is quantity isnt a problem for me, I can easily print 1 set or 100 sets. the only thing is time to create the graphics. As ive realised most decals arent all used on a sheet so ive put together lots of designs to help people out.

Id like to have a go at those though. If you could send me a scan i could see. Want to start doing more varied decal sets.

Morly, Can you confirm for me, does your printer print white or silver?

I can print white, silver, gold :D and i mean propper shiny silver, gold. all on a clear background.

I print everything inverted too so that the colour is on the inside so even if you scratch the clear vinyl it wont effect the colours.

hope that helps.

Im sure a few people on TC have bought my decals.. if you wanna ask them about the quality. My process is nothing like anybody else. The downside is my limitation of size ie i cant do long lines etc.
