Who makes custom dry transfers???
Posted by ARTHILL on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 10:05 AM
I finaly have a logo for the Sublime to Redikulus. It is in four colors. Is there a company that will produce a page of dry transfers or even decays if I send them a disk with the copy. Th copy places only make transparencies which are both too thick and need a white background for dark colors to show.
If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art

IF I remember correctly, Herald King would do it.. Are they still in business?? It's been years since I've had to purchase any decals.. Failing that, try writing one of the smaller manufactures..

You can make your own decals at home if you have a decent colour printer. Just get the decal paper here: http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Department&ID=106 or other places.
Kids are great for many reasons. Not the least of which is to buy toys "for them."

I could do the work for you. I would need to see the artwork to give a quote. Also, what format is it in. BMP, JPG etc... The best format for me to print from is a vector image format if posible CDR, AI etc

Microscale makes custom decals, not sure if they have a quantity limit or anything, though.

www.microscale.com is you want to check them out. I was thinking of using them to make me some TerraTransport container markings.

Not sure about dry transfers, but, for decals, I can highly recommend Jim at:

http://www.mgdecals.com/

He just did some custom decals for me, that are great! Fast service, very patient when dealing with a clueless customer (me), very reasonble in prices.

Tom Stolte at Oddballs doesn't do custom work, but www.railgraphicsdecals.com does.
