Re: decal printing wanted

Most company i no uses corelDraw (.cdr) for the design to give vector drawing, which doesnt blur the drawing when scaling up or down in size.
I created my own vector decal drawing couple of months back, and a company over in china provided the cheapest water sliding decal printing service for 1/24 scale, but i am sure they are happy to do 1/18 printing as well.
Printing in UK / europe can be VERY expensive, ive had dealings with a few companies.
If you need any more info, PM me or something

I contact them via email, services are excellent, delivery is quick too, i dont think they have a website. They only do the printing service, doesnt provide the drawing service for the decal, so you need to draw the decal yourself. Printing for 1/24 is about Ģ10 including delivery, if i remember correctly. Which by far is cheaper than Ģ30 for printing from germany, or Ģ28 in UK. I think they provide a better service than 'Plato' website over in australia, cos in his site, he doesnt do custom printing, whereas this company does.

judging by the e-mail and the ebay user name it seems to be the same "company" that makes those ebay decals (including the Ken Block ones).

BTW, was that price you posted up just for (1) decal sheet only?
