Number Plate machines/printers?
« on: 12 March 2010, 19:21:08 »

A long shot but your a knowledgeable bunch of chaps and chapettes, anyone familair with number plate making equipment? I'd like to get the stuff as I have the company name postcode etc so they would be legal, but I want High quality plates, do the printers with Print Pro software print quality stuff? Or would I need a proper machine with a press and such. It seems a good business venture that would go well with selling cars  :y

It can be done with Windows paint and a laser printer ;) the only other thing is a roller to put it through for ease of sticking it and taking out the bubbles. The only difficult thing is setting up the spacing but once you do it you have your template.  :y

* oh and remember to flip over the letters so the the individual letters are backwards ;)

You probably have to be registered or licenced to make them for on road use, and the process and materials might be stipulated to you.
I'm only guessing but I could understand if this is the case.

Plus there are probably silly rules that you are not allowed to make plates for your own company.

I understand that people like MOT stations cant MOT thier own cars for fraudulent reasons, but would check all the rules before buying plate making equipment, you know what our government is like at males laws and rukes etc.
