Does anyone know anything about number plate machines or the software on them? I'm looking at buying one, however there's plates that come out like cheap tatty rubbish like this:



And good ones come out like this, a nicer more reflective blue, and better colouring, the GB bit goes right up to the edge of the plates, and they don't look printed:

Used a printer and software years ago,prints of the number plate then place clear plastic over the top and then use a roller machine to stick both together,was ok but never 100% good,used to chew up the number plate vinyl or not print corectly.usally the number plate supplier can do software and printer and supply plates and backing

Please find below a link for registering yourself as a DVLA approved number plate supplier which, you may already know this Del, you have to be.

Hope this helps.

Yeah a printer is what it'll have to be, I want a quality one, don't want to be selling cheap looking rubbish like the top car  .

Given cost of a decent one, is it not worth just sourcing them from good eBay supplier?

I'd imagine you would have to make a lot to make a printer worth while?

I have the license although I don't make plates,but as I buy plates from factors and sell on to my customers I still have to be licensed

Do they come out similar to the bottom one?

Tunnie - I get them from eBay if I need them now, but it's just something that seems pretty good business as a little side line.

I get through plates like it's going out of fashion Del! I pay just under £20 for x2 plates with GB Euro decal and my website at the bottom. I'm happy with that price. I would mention though, the need to be able to create 21''x6'' rear plates as per Range Rover's, Bentley's etc. If you can do those, I'll be a good customer

  my local factors charge me £4 a plate with my name etc on the bottom and about £5.50 for the euro plates,all plus vat of course

the jepsons ones come with gb logo that covers all the end as per your second pic   but thats because its already pre printed on the reflective

Have you been sneakily playing with one already Del?



(You can't really see it as he was driving at breakneck speed like a plonker, but the plate was "DEL 180Y" or .. "DEL 1BOY")

That would have cost him a bit
