But i still have all the equipment and the blank plates, and a little more time on my hands (not much), so i'm considering starting it up again.
I just need to guauge the level of interest, as i would need to lay down a reasonable amount of ££'s for software licensing. Fortunately i dont need to pay out on blanks as i have a box ready.
So, would anyone be interested in a lovely shiny plate? lets say around a tenner for a motorcycle plate as a ball park figure. Maybe I could do a 'FOC-U plate' with FOC-U.co.uk in the tag line and the yamaha logo ghosted in the background if thats what people want?

GB is legal (assuming its on a legal plate of course), don't think it is but I'd have to check if England would be legal as an alternative.

I've been fighting to get the software to work on my Windows7 machine (i have it on an old XP machine, but that machine is old and very slow), eventually, i had to get the software working on win7 using an XP virtual machine! So i called up to license the software, mentioned in passing that it was a struggle on win7, and they told me there was a newer version that was win7 compatible... So i'd much rather use that than rely on a VM.
CD should be arriving today or tomorrow, once installed (my machine doesnt have a cd drive so i'll have to copy it to usb then install), i can call them up to get the license, and we're good to go. I've paid the £££'s for the license.
Full size plates, had a stock check and i need to order some of those. I'll get them with the GB pre-printed on the plate if i can as they seem to finish better.
:)

Can you post here mate what you can do then?Hey fizzy... yes to all that. Page 1 you can see my plate with the ghosted Yamaha. Also 'inline' font, which looks quite nice - its a vehicle font (and legal for car) with a line in the centre of the font.
some samples?
with the standard font can you do 3D text, carbon style text?
can you do the honey comb?
how would the ghosted yam badge look?
could you design it on the software then send as an image first?
thanks

But instead of the transformers logo, would you be able to do the Kawasaki logo, the big "K"?

Putting in an order for blank plates hopefully today, but just dealing with a rear puncture :-/

Like that. Bear in mind that the euro stars, GB and K would be yellow. (low quality jpeg, actual print would be much sharper)
That's lovely mate, how much would that be?
Need to find out my actual reg plate too, that's my old one as it's the only one I ever remembered :lol
Post by: Tefer on 22 February 2014, 11:27:22 am
Should have been twice the price so its a great deal.
Thanks Darren
Post by: dcurzon on 22 February 2014, 04:32:39 pm
Mine has just arrived, for £10 I dont know how hes making money on it.
I'm really happy with it, thanks mate
No overheads and I'm not greedy. I just need to make back the cost of the software and the actual plates themselves and the p+p. If I can stick a small bit of change into my pocket afterwards then that's great :)

9x3 single line

This is good feedback, I would need 15 to break even on software cost. I can do them without the plate software, but the right software literally saves hours! I'd also include the plastic nuts/bolts.
My 7x5 that I knocked up... Bit dirty from commuting.
Points of the tuning forks should reach into the outer circle. Just saying!

If you have white plates does that mean you can knock up some Irish plates? Would be interested in a custom plateShould be able to, no idea what the format is on Irish though!

You can have the flag, but if you're planning on travelling in Europe, then GB and the EU logo need to be there.
It should be in this order:
EU logo
Flag
GB
Quite frankly nobody will give a monkeys if the flag and the GB are other way around

Well pleased.
Many Thanks. :thumbup

The yellow was a slightly darker hue than I was expecting, but that's not a complaint. Very happy, can't wait to fit it to the bike when she gets out! :D
And for those who moan I never upload pics.... :lol :lol :lol :lol
Edited just for safety's sake - but the plate looks great (and hasn't got two boxes on it!!)

Aluminium plates - car only. As mentioned a few posts up, car plates kill me on postage!
Bike plates - single sided only. They're a tenner each including postage, or you can pick them up from me in person (London SW1Y), still a tenner though! No additional costs.
