Re: Decal printing

Pardon me, as I'm not familiar with decal printing, but can you print silvers and golds? How would you know from the file I give you that it needs to be printed in silver (since it'll look gray in the file)?

Tune the color tone in the vector diagram.(CDR,EPS.....)
But i am not sure digital printer can print gold/sliver color or not,
in my knowledge,just ALPS printer can did it!

Ps.i am a modeler only,bit of custom decal experience!

Re: Decal printing

Could you create the decals from several pictures of a car? How much does it cost (average) if it has not pictures or drawings (only the sponsors)?

Re: Decal printing

Sorry I don't understand...do your printer print white too? or just CMYK color? Can your decal put over a black car for example?

Yes, white decal can be applied on black body. It will not be transparent.
