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

transfers,
who I may return to.

I'd be grateful of any useful advice.

CallaghanYou can buy decal paper (from hobby-shops) and run it through an ink-jet
but the ink will probably fade especially on something like a bike which
gets a fair bit of UV exposure.
There are also specialists who can do a better job,but for a single set
of decals the cost is likely to be prohibitive.
The cost of "original" decals is outrageous but you may have to bite
the bullet on this one and go with your frame refinisher.At least you
know that the decals will be compatible with the finish.
