Have you tried Decal Connection?

Jess, I can make them. Shoot me an email and we'll talk. I have red metallic foil. You'd need to apply them. I can walk you through it. -Chuck

Chuck another choice is use the Holo Media and a red background.

Right. That's another option. Not sure about you, but I am seeing some fading on my metallic media decals. Mostly on the holo sheen and the gold. The ones I did with my older Lexmark all faded. I haven't had my new Canon printed ones out yet this year.

These dry transfer ones can't fade.

Chuck I fully understand on the fading with inkjet - have managed to do a workaround to continue use of inkjet - laser media is also available for those who are unable to do dry transfer stuff.

Your new Canon will not be a lot different unless you consider color selection and reverse imaging to do things a little different.

I am sure you will understand -

Fading of inkjet inks due to uV degredation, all of them, is affected by the color - lighter colors more fading than dark - red/yellow uV degredation is worse than black/blue.

If you use the holo/silver/gold/red media surface to present the font or image foreground color by reverse imaging, i.e., no ink on the surface of the media - using a darker background color - the over time fading of the primary font or image can be greatly improved.

Bill - I know. I've got the solution though. Only fish at night!

I'm going to get some laser media next. Do you carry it?

Chuck,

I tried the laser media (by accident) and unless their is a workaround, it comes out of the printer a real mess. I have 2 packs of laser holo (ordered by mistake) and would love to know a way to make it work

BTW fading hasn't been a problem for me (so far!!). I use a lot of the silver and Holo media as well as white vinyl. I always use a couple coats of Krylon Fix a Tiff although I have NO idea if that helps with fading

If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!!

Mike - want to swap? I'll send you an email...
