Looking for a white "The Ventures Model" water slide decal

Postby vibramute » Sun May 20, 2012 5:02 pm

Need a high quality 'The Ventures Model' decal in white for a project. Specifically, I'm looking for the earlier, larger logo as pictured below.

Anybody have a source?

Check with this seller who may have a white one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mosrite-Venture ... 3cc00eb152

Ed Roman in LV sells it at rip-off price ($95 each). No sure it is white or black.

Or you can custom made:

Hope these help.

my brother makes my decals for me, and he says you can't print white decals on the computer. he's tried many many times. he says they only way to do it is to screen print it. That being said I can't confirm this or not, i'm just passing the info along.

Laser cut vinyl is a possibility as well.

There was an ALPS printer that would print white on paper, as well as gold, silver, etc. I think that it hasn't been made for 10 years now.

Two things that you can do is if the peghead will be black, you can buy decal paper that is preprinted with a white background. When you print the artwork, print it in reverse so that you print a black background leaving the logo white. Then cut out the background and logo out and apply it to the black headstock.

The other thing is to find someone that makes custom transfers or rub-downs. If you have ever used letraset or some other brand of transfer type you will know what these are. There are companies that can create custom transfer graphics.

Vibramute, I wouldn't recommend the ebay link in Desert Surfer's post. A few months ago I made enquiries for a white one also and they asked me how many I required. My answer was "TWO". I never received a reply again. Good luck if you do give it a try.

You can ask these two shops, if they can print in white?
