Logo

[automan]

I've been an inlay man up to this point, but I hate doing inlay work. What do you guys use with the printed logos? Is there some way to do it on a home computer? What media do I print on that wont look bad on an instrument?

a lot of guys use waterslide paper and an inkjet, this is good for small projects, for more professional work, look to a printer or sign shop that can die cut/ laser cut logos for you.

I agree. A good friend of mine is a printer and has his own business. Its not expensive, even if you're paying full price...

So if I go to the printer and ask for something that will hold up under nitro lacquer, they will know? What does fender use for their decals?

Yes, sign printers have clear stock that is less than 15 thousandths, and can be sealed with about 6-8 coats of lacquer. 100 logo's from my printer cost me $30 to give you a ball park. those are 1/4" tall and 2.7" long
