Dry transfer lettering

(1/2) > >>

The Bowler Hatted Turner:
Hi All,
         I am quoting for a job that will require loads of names and dates placed on a board in gold. So I was thinking of Letraset but I want the letters to be about15-18mm high and they don't seem to do it that size. Does anyone know of a company that makes this stuff? Or could advise me as to an alternative. (I don't really want to paint the names individually)
Regards
John BHT

One way would be to print what you want onto computer transfer paper. Try www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk and then select transfer paper,  to see if that method is suitable. Gold might be a problem though for a computer printer. The best way to get gold is to hot foil print it but you need a hot foil printer and the dies for that. Malcolm.

Could you do it with stencils and spray? You can get the stencils in all sorts of sizes.

Hi BHT

I have just Googled 'Self adhesive vinyl lettering' and found and number of companies which will let you design your own lettering and one was in gold.

Hi John - I made an Honour board for my local Athletic Club a few years ago, They wanted the
names of all the Captains and the years listed. I went to my local sign shop with the list of names
and dates and they cut them to my size on vinyl so all I had to do was ley them on the board and
remove the masking tape that they were held together with. I am sure you are aware of the process.
