I am thinking about getting a Brother P-Touch. I can print in a variety of colors and fonts and you can get clear ribbon for it. i have been told that when applied and epoxied, you can hardly tell its a deeecal. If yo want to get real fancy I have just two words for you....Decal Connection....I cannot believe the things that they can do.

That is the way I would go because my handwriting @#$%& and I drink way too much caffiene. If you don't suffer from these aflictions there are a variety of option out there that are covered very thoroughly in the archives here. I have a friend thatt does it by hand with metallic gold ink and a calligraphy pen. His stuff is beautiful.

Decal Connection does top-notch work at reasonable prices. I'm very impressed as I ordered a sheet of decals on Thursday and it was in my mailbox on Saturday. Doesn't get much quicker than that!

Decal Connection is the way to go.I e-mailed my order at 6:30am,got a phone call by 10:00am to discuss the order(this was on a Friday) and had the perfect set of decals on Monday.Jimi offers a rush order option for $10.00 but for the life of me I don`t see how it could be much faster.Maybe he faxes the decals???

About 5-6 years ago I spent 250.00 for the Brothers P-TOUCH model PT-12/15 soley because the cheaper models did not have CLEAR TAPE WITH GOLD LETTERING available. It does many different fonts but they all are very visible as a piece of tape. Jesse

LOL. That's hillarious.

I haven't done decals, but everything you all say about the Decal Connection sounds amazing. I'm definitely going to go that route when the time comes.

Also with Decal Connection, you can send him your logo if you have one and have that be part of the decal as well. They just need a file for the logo so they can do what they need with it to make it work on the decal.

Without a doubt , give Jimi a call for your decals . You can pick out ant font you want and put any message or signature on a rod you can immagine for a few bucks ........ no brainer enless you build a lot of rods .
Just my 2 cents .........
