Names on windows

AndyM · 8 Feb 2006, 09:57 (Ref:1517907)

Dear Racers!

Does anybody know where I can get those printed names done like the BTCC cars have? I am looking at that particulr font and style if possible.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Have a look through the advertisers on this site. There may be a company in there and 10/10s gets the revenue.

Alternatively pm Al Weyman (one of our posters) and see if he can help.

Thanks for the heads up Peter, I can help you, we have an outdoor solvent vinyl print and cut machine here, PM me with your requirements.

PS I will be running an ad on the site soon!

Ali Rushforth · 8 Feb 2006, 18:44 (Ref:1518267)

Can you do the BTCC style (Helvetica bold) style so it's applied from the inside of the windows??

(better aero!!!!)

Al Weyman · 8 Feb 2006, 19:07 (Ref:1518278)

Probably what is it like? I don't follow BTCC.

Not wanting to queer anyone's business pitch but when I wanted some years ago all I had to do was walk into the local stationer cum print supplier and tell them what i wanted. Font style and letter height I seem to recall.

Al Weyman · 8 Feb 2006, 20:30 (Ref:1518331)

Go for it then, I bet yer don't get em not fancy full colour printed and contour cut vinyl ones anyhow which is what I thought he was after as I have yet to see a stationer with a £10k solvent ink vinyl print and cut machine but I am prepared to be corrected! As for business pitch, little jobs like this for me are a pain if you want the truth but I will do them to help guys out.

Tony Crossley · 9 Feb 2006, 12:55 (Ref:1518804)

You should be able to order them on-line from here: http://custom-graphics.co.uk/

Just find the font, select the size and colour. Inside and outside stickies. I use them for all sorts of bit and pieces for the car.

Blimey Al, need im eh? Think hes just queered yours. What ever floats your boat..

Al Weyman · 9 Feb 2006, 21:46 (Ref:1519178)

Yeah talk about keep it in the family! I will do them (and cheap) for guys that appreciate it, I bet if I posted my site here like that I would get canned by admin

Am I bothered?

djinvicta · 9 Feb 2006, 21:50 (Ref:1519180)

There you go! Give Al a ring, dont go down your local shop. We will have some Al, Ill talk to Pete Thurston who will read this anyway. Cant have you losing biz..

Al Weyman · 9 Feb 2006, 21:54 (Ref:1519187)

Ha Ha Ha go for it AndyM. I just went onto that site and typed in my name twice in three inch PLAIN not PRINTED letters and it came back at £44, I would knock that price into the provebable cocked hat but there you go what can I say. Not all advise is good advice my friend. Nice fancy site interface though and thats what you are paying for! (My man is working on my interactive version right now)

djinvicta · 9 Feb 2006, 21:59 (Ref:1519192)

Your sites a bit fancy fab too though Al? Dont knock it, very pro, go on, whats the site address again or isnt that allowed, advertising.

Al Weyman · 9 Feb 2006, 22:02 (Ref:1519195)

Its in my public profile DJ, I don't want to upset the management, I will be placing an ad with them soon anyhow as soon as I have sorted out the banner. I did have an online shop and prices but I was not happy with the company (I reckon they wer'nt as secure as they said, had a couple of instances) or the way it was working so I shelved it temporarily.

djinvicta · 9 Feb 2006, 22:04 (Ref:1519199)

Of course; Sorry I didnt think of that. Ill be in touch for some bits for the vans though..

Al Weyman · 9 Feb 2006, 22:06 (Ref:1519202)

I'll look after you drop me an email with the van model at the shop and I will sent you a profile to play with if you like.

djinvicta · 9 Feb 2006, 22:07 (Ref:1519203)

Will do, cheers.

Not in this case because its relavant to the thread.

however you're getting enough promotion anyway so stop moaning.

Al Weyman · 10 Feb 2006, 09:40 (Ref:1519474)

OK then publish and be damned www.cadart.com

Tony Crossley · 10 Feb 2006, 09:42 (Ref:1519476)

Blimey, excuse me for trying to help. You could just look in the yellow pages and speak to any signwriting business. Most (if not all) will have the same machines for cutting vinyl.

I've just used that site in the past for small stickers and the price has never been very high. Mind you I have a friend who runs a signwritting business and he does my bigger vinyls for beer.

Next time I'll check everyones profiles and makre sure I'm not stepping on any toes!

Tony,

Sorry there is a little confusion here and it does happen lets explain.

People often say printed when in fact they mean cut vinyl, but the original request was for PRINTED vinyl graphics not merely cut. That is why I was saying if you want something printed on to vinyl then contour cut to shape it is a totally different ball game, eg letters with say a flame effect or aluminuim deck effect etc. that is when you need a sophisticated machine that will print colour on the vinyl graphics then contour cut to shape (also a good operator) both of which we have here.

As a matter of interest on the sample I mentioned at the other site and in plain vinyl (NOT PRINTED) my name has 11 characters, x 2 both sides at say 3" tall letters, to sales off the net or walk ins I would charge at 54p a character plus vat which would be £13.96, add a bit of P & P and the total would be around £17 tops inc. vat. If you wanted printed and cut then double it. That site wanted £44 for PLAIN vinyl and I assure you they will not do it any different than we will as we only use the best materials and have the latest and best soft and hardware.

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Feb 2006, 12:12 (Ref:1519569)

Actually I've got a sticker from the 1978 Spa 24hrs. It's an original so I don't want to use it. Could you make a couple up for me? Don't quote prices just yay or nay would do.

Al Weyman · 10 Feb 2006, 12:29 (Ref:1519577)

If you can give me a good enough image to work with then of course, if there is some computer time recreating it obviously it will be chargable but basically Yay! I also have a massive scanner here so if it is hard copy (i.e flat unfitted) it would be a doddle

Ian Sowman · 10 Feb 2006, 12:38 (Ref:1519582)

Are there any legal issues (as a general point) with copying someone else's stickers/images?
