Hi there,

I was hoping someone had been through this process and could offer some
advice. I'm fine with the design side on the pc. I'm interested to know
how my designs could be printed on some suitable material that I can pass
on to my frame refinisher. Can I take a jpeg or other similar format to a
print shop on the high street and have them printed on a sheet of A4 for a
few quid? Or am I limited to a specialist of some sort?

I was quoted over the phone, "about £20", from the refinisher which I
thought was a bit steep. I might only need transfers for the down tube I
haven't decided yet.

The frame in question is a Claud Butler Dalesman. I'm aware of H. Lloyd
http://tinyurl.com/jbwer who stocks original or reproduced transfers,
who I may return to.

I'd be grateful of any useful advice.

CraftyComputerPaper (Google & ye shall find) sells paper for making
waterslide transfers in single A4 sheets - either inkjet or laser (obviously
most lasers are black only so you would need a light coloured frame). I've
tried the laser and they seem to work OK - you need to let them REALLY DRY
on the frame and then mist-coat with about 4 or 5 coats of aerosol car
lacquer - and I then coated mine with car wax polish. So far they seem
quite durable (they're black on a yellow frame)
