E- tadpole Triker
BTW
There are print shops that can colour laser print up to 18" A3 width in multi colour BUT the going rate for this service is usually £30 a sheet as the artwork - set up fee is the most expensive part .they will do a smaller size but the price wont vary much .
One of these was the hub in Seaford ,Sussex , I contacted them a while ago when I needed some decals cut , this is what has prompted me to go my own way and get a vinyl cutter for the decals for the trikes and other projects.
Some decals will react with the lacquer and cause problems - obviously OEM fitted decals have been tested with and designed for use with certain types of lacquer .
I have a "tame car /van sign , lettering/ wrap " company that have done some lettering for me in the past (,before I got the cutter ) they fit it in in their quiet spaces and it usually has a 30 day turn around .
Its a case of shop around and try to find an enthusiast who has a little time on their hands that can Identify the font etc .
Decals always have been a problem ever since bikes started to have decals and not sign-written I remember this 30 years ago when I wanted some for a Hobbs of Barbarian , By accident whist cycle racing in the I.O,W I met a retired hobbs frame builder who knew it was a Hobbs and gladly gave me a set of decals once he had seen the frame with his own eyes and further more it transpired it had been one he built way back in 1951 ..
What a chance meeting with a great result .
Good luck on your quest
