    We did this van yesterday. When I came into work this morning, I wasn’t thinking about this job and was startled when out of the corner of my eye I spotted the bloke in the Kilt standing inside our unit beside the van.

    Rob’s company “Fastsigns” very kindly printed the images for me 😀

    Just out of curiosity. In your post title there’s 1 ‘n’ in Dunoon but on the van there’s 2 (Dunnoon)

    Cheers

    Well spotted Jim – I’ve spelt it wrong in the title (but right on the van)…….at least I think so 😳

    Rob the images were brilliant. Very sharp with bright colours even up very close.

    Thanks Andrew.

    The print was finished off with a clear laminate. As mentioned earlier this was done by Robs company (Fastsigns) – with Andrew (vectorwise) doing the actual printing on their Grenadier. Rob or Andrew can best advise on the material to use for this sort of print.

    Whenever I personaly print anything for a van (I use a PC600) I print on Oracal 751 and laminate with clear Oracal 751. In this instance the print was too big for the PC600 – and the colorcams high running costs ruled it out for a print of this size. Not only that- but the resulting print was far superior than could have been achieved with the PC600

    Thanks for the mention Phil.

    I used MD5 white to print the graphics and coated with clear using laminator. The image looked really crisp, there was also the smaller image on rear that also came out really good.

    Yeah s’good that Phill. Very striking.

    How gay does that geezer in the kilt look though? (I don’t mean because he’s wearing a skirt, just the pose.)

    Im sure I see one of that firms vans outside a kilt shop in the city centre of
    Carisle when i was up there chalking

    What i noticed was the fact it was hand painted ,must have been an old one
    Was that anything to do with you Phil

    that print definately catches the eye

    what is it with Jill and Scotsmen !
