Porndog, can you email me a hi-res version of the uppermost photo? I'll show it to my wife who reads Japanese. Has anyone tried reproducing these labels? I'd like one too, and printing this sort of thing in Thailand is relatively simple.

If someone can provide precise dimensions for the label, perhaps even a graphics file, we could get it done. Any idea what the label material is? It looks metalised.

It's pressed aluminium.

The Label measures 45mm in length and 13mm in height. If you can get them reproduced I think you will find people interested in geting one. I certainly would be. Please let us know how you get on Tanto.

I'll checkout metallic label printing in town today. At a guess I'd say the metal base will determine the cost.

If we're going to produce the chain wear stickers, should they be copies, or 400greybike.com versions? The simplest method is for someone to post me a sticker and I can get them copied. Which brings up the subject of copyright, and hence my question. Any views?

As for doing a "close but not copy" version, can someone provide some precise measurements (text position, angle of curved edges, color matches (Pantone) etc.)? The measurements should be taken with the sticker flat. At a pinch, a high resolution photo might do, provide a mm scale is alongside. The more detail we can capture, the better. Then we can decide whether we want perfect replicas (copies), or a special 400GB version.

We'll need to produce a .ai file, or similar for the printer.

ill get measurements and hi res pics later.

Porndog, thanks! If you can get the pics to me sometime on Sunday GMT, I'll go to the shops on Monday AM Thai time (+7hrs). The ones I tried were closed today.

i have hi res pics and measurements

uploading now...............................

Hi Res Pics and Measurements a little awkward as you can imagine with the curved edges, i have included my steel rule, so if you print or whatever you need to do, you can measure them equaly as acurate i guess.

hope this is what you need, and i wonder what the japanese translation works out at, please remember me when you order these! as you can definately see i require a new badge but would prefer a UK on but japanese is ok too i guess afer all no use hiding the fact its grey!
