cjs 14 Posted February 9, 2015 Is there anyone that can print a few pieces of vinyl with a gradient fade from yellow to red? Im looking for 2 pieces about 5" wide x 24" long that fades across the 5" width. I am in Ontario Canada, and will be cutting a few letters out of this material. Lamination is not 100 % needed as I have clear laminate at home. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 9, 2015 shipping across the boarder will kill ya if a us printer - take some yellow vinyl and fade it with red krylon fusion paint to get the effect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjs 14 Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks, I never thought of that. Might be worth a shot! It was just an idea that I had that I thought might add something a little different to my sons stock car. The actual letters are going to be fairly small anyway...Has anyone ever tried it? how does it hold up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 9, 2015 that is actually an old trick from 8 years ago - was widely used back then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted February 9, 2015 I read your post a while back about this and have been planning on giving it a go one of these days. Cool idea. Just goes to show that there are lots of little nuggets of knowledge out there floating around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
