Hebrew lettering

Sign in to disble this ad
I kind of figured this would be a long-shot. I'm looking for Hebrew lettering either decals or static clings to put my Hebrew name on my bass. If any of my Jewish bass playing brothers or sisters have done this let me know where you got them. I've looked everywhere.

if you can get the lettering in say a tiff format you can take it to a car audio shop and get vinyls done for under $20

Or use a freeware Hebrew font & print it onto clear waterslide decal paper.

Various freeware fonts here.

Havine been in the sign industry for a number of years, this isn't the best option for getting a sticker made. If you do use a .tif or .jpg, it needs to be high resolution. The best type of file to use is a vector file- commonly denoted by .eps or .ai. Around here, not many car audio shops can do this sort of thing, but most any local sign shop can do it quickly and cheaply.

well i was giving him an option that didnt require photoshop or illustrator. not everyone has high end software for doing vectors, and most vinyl cutter software will work off tiffs
