Thanks! I'll try them.

I tried the same years ago with internet enquiries but the first print shop I visited in person was very happy to help. They had a range of equipment and substrates. Obviously you'll have better luck in a city or large town...

Crawford Carrick Anderson, the former wC DH'er, did some for me that were excellent-

@andykirk any local sign business should be able to do it - as you've already got the artwork it should be a very simple job.

However everyone would be vinyl printing them... why do you not want vinyl? Not sure what other material or technique for printing them you're thinking of? Waterslide transfer maybe? That is much more specialist if so (although you can get the material to do it on a home printer, then carefully cut it out with a craft knife!)

Two recommendations HERE from a previous thread.

I was under the impression vinyl had a thickness that would always create a 'lip' at the edge?

Meaning they are liable to peeling and not really suited to lacquering over?

@andykirk that's correct, anything has a thickness though that you'd be able to feel, even paint.

Whoever's doing the lacquering will just need to use a bit more in order to cover up the decal and get that smooth finish. Generally you'd want a vinyl decal to be laminated as this massive improves the durability, however if you're lacquering then you definitely don't (as an unlaminated decal is half the thickness!)

Retrodecals - excellent service
