You cannot just take the image and print it .The image has to be designed in black to print white or silver, gold and white undercoat..Example that one image (sorry in semi the truck so doing this from recall) Has is silver and red emblem in the middle of it
All the silver part has to be designed in black to print it and the red part cannot be on that page where you print silver Then the red part has to have a white undercoat put on it to keep the paint from bleeding it out when applied so a white undercoat page
has to be made and its printed with white ink. It has to be made represented in black where the red goes on it's own page. Finally a 3rd page has to be made with the color red on it and that gets printed on top of the white undercoat.
All the pieces of this image have to be designed separately and put on their appropriate page So its not like you give me a image and say print this and I can print
it. It has to be designed with its individual parts so it can be printed on individual pages. Does that give you a better understanding of what I have to do to make each image you want done printable?
It's a complicated time consuming process for each image. Then when you want say 50 of them, I have to take the first image designed and add 49 other images on the main design page. Then on each subsequent page that I explained above I put all 50
images on each page. Then I go through every image on that page removing what doesn't get printed on that page o only the silver, gold,, white underlay, and color show up on their appropriate page for each image So I have to edit 50 images on all 3 pages.
Sometimes people think they can send me an image and I can import it and print it. It doesn't work that way
. As for price it depends on how much work and labor I have to put into it to get the job done. A solid silver only print in silver I only have to make a black page.) so once i design the image and make the black page that is very simple to set that up
. Other images may have as many as 8 pages. (white, white undercoat, black, silver,gold, color, and a main design page) every image on every one of those pages has to b taken apart so only the appropriate part of the image is on that particular page that
is suppose to be printed. That is just to get it setup to print once I get the decal designed on the main page.
Below is a visual representation of a typical file set up to print a decal page I designed. This graphic picture may help you understand this complicated process better.
