Tierce12 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have a friend that supplies wood for me to make crankbaits out of and he is retired from the Army. So to show my appreciation I was gonna make a crankbait and paint it for him for a display. I was planning on it having his name and U.S. Army Retired on it somehow, a lot like the one seen here: " http://www.bateycustomlures.net/Pictures/viewphoto.asp?id=539 " . Anybody out there know how to do this? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm betting that was done with water slide decal paper and a color ink jet printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLester Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Water slide is the way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrykerLures Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Does anyone have any Ideas on a good Ink Jet Printer for the Water Slide Decal Paper? Hopefully for -$100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 If you don't have a printer get a friend to print them out for you. It needs to be one that will print decent photo images. You can print out more decals in a few minutes than you can use in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody out there know how to do this? Thanks for any help My brother did some 'signage' for some baits he painted. He went to HobbyLobby and bought some a Decal Pkg that allows you to print decals on ink jet or laser printers. The decal kit comes in either a transparent or white background. The kit can be found on the model aisle and is by Testor I believe. He typed up what he needed in Microsoft Word and printed it out on the decal film. He has more then he can use. I think he said 5 sheets come in a pkg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontPhisher Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Laser inscribing is becoming a hit these days. Check a trophy shop they might have a laser there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
