What printer cutter do you have roland or mimaki?
Problem is none of us know what the red looks like other than slim. I have looked at it on 4 machines here and every one is a different shade..lolOk changed the white to silver/grey when people say silver i think metallic cant do metallic.
Like i said earlier bit worried about the red colour match one option would be to cut the letters and circle out.

I think postage should be €2.40 depending on what size envelope i can fit it in. I have plenty of vinyl floating about.
And you want it dead on 200mm x 45mm?
I have a roland BN-20 and an easy mount laminator. The printer hardly gets used which causes the head to dry out. Recently replaced the head which was not cheap. I try and run it every now and then but forget.
I'm not sure how accurate the roland printer is but i could use a pantone colour in the design you never know it might get close.

Hopefully, I want to do it justice after getting it for the price. Mind you, I'm putting some new bits on her so it all adds up.....
Plus, it's my OCD kicking in

I went over to my dad's again yesterday to finish clearing out his garage, they have a moving date now, only 2 weeks to go. I drove over with a flatbed trailer with the intention of moving his summerhouse to their new place but it was far too big even flat-packed so we sold it to the neighbours. I still had to dismantle it and move it next door but an old mate from Doncaster came around to help. He ended up buying my parents stair lift for his elderly parents who are too stubborn to move from the house they have shared since the 60's so it all went well.
Tools wise, I picked up all my dad's measurement stuff. Here's just a sample. A pile of micrometers, 2 x 1", a 1" - 2" and a 2" to 6" all in great condition.
The chesterfield is really nice.
The 2 to 6" not only has the original case complete with all contents, but the original cardboard box.
He also had several tins of bits and pieces, here one of them, some unused milling cutters, various calipers, rotating centre etc.
Here's another box of stuff, with a Starret protractor
and another, it keeps on coming
I also got a crate of spanners, probably two thirds good old ones, here's a few, some are old Bluepoint, presumably before Snap-on bought them, some strange spanners with weird offsets and ford spanners, he did work at a ford factory in the 60s, and loads of old britool, king dick, Bedford and some really nice Canadian and US ring spanners that I used to enjoy using when I was working on my cars at my dads house as a pimply youth.
This is just a selection, there are crates of hand tools of all description, good old grease guns, wood working tools you name it.
I think in my case tool collecting is genetic and here's the proof!
Cheers
Andy

Some very nice hand tools there Andy, your dad had an eye for quality. If you want to scare yourself start adding up how much it would cost to buy that measuring stuff new, even though it's unlikely new stuff would be the same quality. That starrett protractor alone would cost a fortune!
Picked up this on Saturday.
100m of 25mm2 and 120m of 35mm2 good quality rubber covered copper welding cable in great condition apart from a coat of dust! There are coils from 20 to 40m long, most with dinse connectors fitted both ends. There's also a brand new 6m earth cable, just what I needed to convert my mig to a dinse connector.
A good heavy gas bottle trolley, saves me having to make one! Also included were 2 sets of oxy/acet hoses now destined to be airlines and a battered type o welding torch for the scrap bucket.
5kg tubes of Oerlikon 'Carborod' 316l stainless tig rods, 2x1.6mm & 2x2.4mm.
The seller has quite a few more tubes of rods (8 I think). If any of you are interested in some let me know as I will be calling with him again in 2 or 3 weeks.

@slim_boy_fat the stickers are done.
I laminated them which should keep them looking top notch for a while.
Did a test fit on the bench.
Fill a spray bottle with water and a drop of fairy liquid spray the glue side of the sticker and the tank this will allow you to slide it to the correct position then squeegee out the water. Or just stick it on and hope for the best.

Brilliant far better than I could have done. (Without a lot of work)@slim_boy_fat the stickers are done.

Like i've been told a few times on here having the correct tool for the job helps. Hopefully my new welder will arrive soon and i can crack on and make a better table for the printer. The one i have now wobbles slightly and it affects the print quality in certain areas. (I have OCD).
