case decals?

Post by dfukuba » Tue Aug 25, 2009 5:51 pm

Hey Guys,

so i'm working on my new console creation, and wondering how ben gets suck nice decals printed onto his case. I'm not just talking about the skins, but the printed text. Are this painted on somehow with some sort of masking....or are they water transfer decals, i have no idea.

If anyone had some good advice on the topic it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
--Danny

I seem to recall that a lot of Ben's decals were printed on adhesive backed vinyl.

Indeed, LOB. They are printed with a thermal vinyl printer.

anyone know a service that can provide decal printing/cutting? i feel you could make some really slick looking parts with custom cut/printer vinyl decals. I've got a vinyl cutter at the shop i work at, but doesn't beat being able to print on to it as well :")
