Pete, you're so bad?!!?    LMAO!!!

No, I don't know him and it will be next winter of later before I have to cross that bridge.

I will say that if it is a complete set(small pieces and all), it would be nice to have them all match.

Buddy, what Pete means is that you should go through the site administrator if you are commercial. His name is keith...look for keith@ccfan.

There have been several here restoring their boats, so if you'd like to offer a 'CCFan' price to the members here...

What I really mean is that Buddy may have read the statement and he is simply trying to do a cheap A** shot at a no cost advertisement. He may not give a damn!! There are plenty of them out there and the reason I asked if you knew him.

Has anyone ever used the "report post" feature? I just might have to click on it and see what happens!

I do know where it is. It is right next to West Marine where I get most of my parts. I went in one day to check on some numbers I needed for my American Skier kind of in a hurry. They stuck it to me on price to get them done. Only once!

I'll be glad to post where it is acceptable. Where would that be?

BTW - we charge $25 for a set of reg #'s and on occasion do them while the customer waits with no upcharge. As I said, we can provide several hundred references for our work.

No more posts from me here, but would someone tell me where I can post. It seems that these decals are not easy to find and while I am definitely trying to sell them, there is a demand for them.

Thx

How about $50 if you want them in the next 1/2 half hour or so. I had no problems with the quality at all. They looked great. Just didn't appreciate the upcharge. I guess it was my fault for putting off getting them done.

Joe:

I just sent an email to Keith to explain, but will here also. These graphics are made to order. We start with an etching of the original and turn it into a decal. So - on that basis, the year does not matter.

H O W E V E R - some years of BFN graphics can be recreated without additional charges, some cannot. The set that we have recreated are 1990 BFN graphics that were put on a 1989 BFN. In order to do the 1989 on a 1989, there would have been an additional $1200 one time set up for screen printing (vs. the digital printing that we actually used). The owner chose the lesser route.

In each case, we have to work with the owner to get the pattern and color correct. It is a tedious process to get it correct, but well worth it according to the owner that bought the first set.

Also keep in mind that we only offer graphics that Nautique no longer supports.

I'm working with Keith on becoming a sponsor. Let me know if you have more questions.

I thought the 89-90 graphics were the same. I think you may have created the 91+ graphics.

The two boats were side by side and I asked the restorer what the years were. Could be they were 91's. We can verify that.

The difference is that one set has a white outline and one set has a gray outline. Without getting too technical here, the gray outline requires a different process and a pretty significant upcharge.

So the first owner who steps up with a year you don't have gets stuck with the $1200 setup charge and the next guy only pays $550?

Posted By: buddym

In theory yes - and that is exactly what happened to the first owner. He wanted custom graphics which took my team 10 hours of design and testing plus 20 color samples. Actually, in his case, he only paid an additional $750.00 because he opted for the easiest version. There are 3 versions. 1. straight digital print. 2. digital print from a printer that can print white ink. 3. screen printed (which is an exact replica of the original design). Only screen printing would incur an additional $1200.

But if I get enough interest from the group for a particular set, then maybe the cost can be spread.

I have a question regarding the charges as well. I have worked with my local sign/vinyl shop on many projects. Costs have always been the art work, printing set up and the actual printing charge. The biggest cost has always been the art work because of the man hours it takes. When the job is complete, I have always owned the artwork because I paid for it. He even presents me with a electronic file and signed documentation that I own the art work and he can't use it again without my permission. So, why doesn't the customer who paid the first $1200 (or even $550) get what he paid for? There is no way a "set up" for printing cost this much.

BTW, this shop is second generation so they are well known and have been around for quite awhile. My first job I took to him was hand painting the name on the transom of my 54. He still gets his brushes out about once a year! True craftsmanship!!

A very fair question. I hope that you will pardon the long answer, but it is necessary. I hope you will read the answer thoroughly because it will takes a few turns to get to the conclusion.

I also give the artwork to my customers when I create CUSTOM artwork for them. The actual copyright law says that unless I surrender my ownership of CUSTOM art (this will be important in a sec), then I own it. When someone orders artwork for business cards, legally they are restricted to using it only for business cards – not postcards – not letterhead – nothing else but business cards. Copyright infringement cases are easily won in small claims courts by sign shops where the customer abuses usage rights. Now, my personal belief is that this is a bunch of horse hockey and I don’t charge my customers an additional fee for ownership where CUSTOM art in involved.

NOW – in this case, I REcreated a logo once supported by Nautique. In actuality, they still own the copyright. Before I decided to try selling these, I called them twice. Once, I spoke with the marketing assistant and once I left a voice mail for the VP of Marketing explaining what I was going to do. For whatever reason, they chose not to call me back. If they ask me to cease and desist – I will cease and desist.

A direct answer to your question goes like this. If a guy asks me to REcreate a Chevy logo, I can not sell him ownership or usage rights to the logo because I don’t own it. I also can’t call General Motors and say “well some guy paid me to REcreate your logo, so I own it now and you’ll have to pay me royalties.” Only when CUSTOM artwork is created specifically for a company or individual can the rights of ownership or usage be assigned.

Now as to “Set Up” fees. I used that term loosely and would not have done so with another sign person. These are not truly set up fees. The extra charge for my first set was for 10 hours of design, 20 or more color tests, 4 trips to the restoration shop for a sanity check, etc. Look closely at the BFN logo. This is not your average vinyl cut logo. Note the spaces in the letters – note the different colors and how they are assembled. Note that the original decals were screen printed on clear vinyl (we’ll talk more about that in a few). In order to recreate this and be true to the original design, the logo was painstakingly etched to tracing paper and then a few letters at a time were scanned, then vectorized. Then the scans were reassembled and a pattern was cut for testing. All of this occurred before final color tests were done. After the 20 or so color tests were run (part of the logo for a red hulled boat includes red – so they need to match), we printed the decals.

The $550 for the decals is because of the material used as well as the printer. The $25,000 printer holds inks that cost $1,000. These are not typical inks. They are pigmented UV inks rated with an indoor life of 75 years. These are the same inks used to recreate art masterpieces that are shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (we also recreate art for artists). The decals are printed on 3M vinyl and protected by 3m laminate – currently the best printable vinyl on the market. Using this combination, the decals are guaranteed for 7 years outdoors, currently the longest available using this technique.

Now – the original decals were screen printed. For those that don’t know, a screen has to be built to size for each color. Then NAZDAR UV inks are spread across clear decals to make the final product. The screens can not be used for anything else and are typically stored for one year or so in case there is a reorder. Our screen printer has several thousand masters stored in a separate warehouse In this case, the price for the screens alone is north of $1,000.

Please show this to you sign guy. He sounds like someone that I would like to know. Ask him to check with his screen printer and see what he would charge, including markup, as a screen fee. Also show him a detailed pic of a BFN logo (not the Correct Craft) and ask him what he would charge to hand paint it. Hopefully, you will post the answers here.

I'll look forward to your info.

One key point to this discussion. The original set that we recreated was for a red hulled boat. The boat had been restored and repainted, so the hull color was a few shades off from the original. The logo for that boat also contains red (seems that's not true on all BFNs), so the reds had to match.

The logo that I recreated has 3 colors, red, white, and gray.

Once last note. If your sign shop sold you usage rights for a CC or any other copyrighted logo, he did not sell you the rights to use them or own them. Those rights are owned by the original company. What he sold you was that he would not reproduce them for anyone else without your permission.

Had my owner wanted the same, we could have negotiated that point into the deal.

Have a good trip.

I don't know jack about this industry, but I'd like to know how all this is done. Don't worry, I'm not going to steal your ideas and go buy my own printer! Is each letter a separate screen? I would assume all the work can go into getting that one right, then the style/color/shade copied through all the traced letters. You could also copy the SKI graphics as well or anything else you can trace regardless of size (2001 & transom graphics).

Joe:

I'm not worried about you stealing the process. It is tedious to get right.

There are 3 ways that this can be done. The manner is dictated by the hull color and the BFN decals. Can you tell me what color your hull is? It would also help if you email a pic showing the logo in detail.

btw - solid logos are pretty easy to reproduce. I'm only talking about the BFN logo.

The red one would be white. When I find my camera I can post much better close ups of a red stripe 88 Ski and a burgandy stripe 88 Barefoot.

Posted By: Mojo

Kevin,
I was in screen printing for 20 years, so let me help, and Alan can break in as well to add his 2cents.

First, the screens do not have to sit anywhere for a year. The screen image can be reclained and recoated. The image is stored electronically and imaged on film. Old. loosened screens actually can produce distorted, unregisted prints. So the film is all you really need to store. If they are doing this in one screen per color on a long piece of vinyl, and needed to buy a frame specially for this job, then there is that added expense.

Second, on a white background color, I'm not sure why "white" vinyl isn't being used. Not sure why the extra color, white, is being used, but not knowing the graphic, I'm not sure what can be reverse printed and trapped.

Third, This is usually printed on one long piece of vinyl where all the letters are printed at once, for each color. Then the graphic is laminated to a release liner (the backing of the decal). Then kiss cut so each letter is all that remains for you to apply to the boat.

Buddy is correct that there are set up fees, but in my opinion they should pertain to only the original artwork. If these are going to be produced with any consistancy (as the original design, no custom work), there is a certain investment that he should bear for the intial set up costs. His retail price should be the same for everyone interested which should have a certain cost amortized in the price to pay for his costs over the long run. Called breakeven...

Pete's original statement I believe is right. Unless custom, the first guy buying any graphic should not get stuck with the burden of his business plan.

He should get a "Group Buy" thing going, diversify the cost of the set up and make it fair, yet profitable for him..

Hell, I can make any one of our die cast parts, cast iron parts, logos, steering wheels, replacement Airguide parts, and the like through my China connections, but the tooling costs versus the group buy numbers would never come out profitable. There just isn't enough volume....

I'm sure Buddy does excellent work and do not get disscouraged in doing business with him. These are my opinions and FYI info to help you understand how the decals are made. Now Digital is a whole nother story.. Expensive ink, but no set up whatsoever...

Moj, the graphics above are very similar to mine (89-90 decals). The majority of the decal is clear, and the gel underneath shows through- which is how it seems to fade from top to bottom. I know they made 2 different types of Ski Nautique decals- a white and a black fade. The white version that I have is white, gray and clear. I assume the black is similar. I doubt the BFN's had any other special gel-matching colors added to theirs- so thats confusing why the above mentioned decals had red in them.

Tim,
OK, makes total sense, and yes I was confused by the need to "Match" color... Thanks for the clarification...

There is one word of caution when using aftermarket decals, or it used to be with UV inks anyways, that the ink itself should not be the leading edge of the graphic. Meaning it should not be die cut into when making the letters. The vinyl itself should be the outside boarder of the graphic.

The ink's cured energy will, through time, curl the edge of even the toughest 3M adhesives as they age in the UV rays..

I was never a fan of Nazdar products. It's the "Bayliner" of inks... Coates Screen or Sericol brands are better in my opinion...

OK, I'll try to answer each topic that's been raised. The graphic here shows the two different patterns. the one on the right is the one that we did.

The reason is simple - the cost of building the screens for one customer is prohibitive. The figures that I used came from my screen printer who has been in business since 1968. Also, I guess that I woould have to disagree about Nazdar. Too many heavy hitters in my business use and recommend them. Their tech support is outstanding.

With the screens, the issue of matching the hull goes away. Gray and white are printed on clear - the hull shows thru and you're done. But your pockets are much lighter.

With the digital print, it's necessary to print on white vinyl because it acts as a blocker to keep the hull from impacting the final color. In this case, red printed on white vinyl becomes part of tbe interior of the graphic but the red in the Z at the outside of each letter is hull showing thru.
Once the design is complete, there's no further set-up or screen charge needed.


Posted By: buddym
Date Posted: May-29-2008 at 8:50pm
I forgot to add - Mojo comments that the screen charges should be amortised. I mentioned that very thing in an earlier post. Screen charges are a necessary evil for screenprinting, which is why the customer and I opted to digitally print the decals.

Can't say that I had a business plan or even an idea to offer these until well into the process. Then again, I wouldn't spend $1200 to dive off a cliff without judging the interest level first.

In short - if there's enough interest, I'll be glad to spread the cost of the screens. I'd guess that it would be worthwhile if I had orders for at least 5 sets. However, Keith and I still have to work out the details - but that shouldn't take long.



Posted By: Mojo
Date Posted: May-29-2008 at 11:40pm
Buddy,
Good description and explaination of the two different processes. How many screens is your printer talking about? Three total? (1 each for the two sides and 1 for the transom)?

I can see you probably would be OK to store the screen as long as these are one color jobs. Registration issues don't come into effect.

$1200 for the set up also has his margins in there I'd say between 20-30%. To me, this still sounds high. But what do I know.. I've been out of it for a few years..

As for inks, just a personal observation...

I hope you find enough interest to make it work. We all take pride in these old boats. Keeping them looking sharp (for the right price mind you) Ha, is important..

Best of Luck to you..

Part of me keeps thinking it would be cheaper in the long run if the color was screened on clear vinyl. It wouldn't matter what color the boat is, the letter is, or the shadow and therefore could be used for 88-90 boats.

It looks like all the 88s only used 1 color, white before all hell broke loose with the black and gray.

Yep Kevin, That's all that's involved. White over clear. If done on quality 3m vinyl, and die cut right, the decals will outlast your owning that boat... Just depends on how much you want to spend $$$

I didn't hear back about the hull color, but the short answer is that we can provide all of the replacement graphics for the boat including the pin stripe.

no I don't plan on painting the hull. but when I get the original decals off (yes they are still there) I will buff it out better if that makes a difference.

shoot me an email with costs and details of doing the main decals.

Posted By: buddym
Date Posted: June-06-2008 at 12:58pm
If you want to be precise about the color match, you'll need to buff out a place in the hull and send me a closeup pic. Once we decide on what graphics you want, I'll need a 50% deposit. Then I will send sample color swatches to you based upon your pic. Once we have a match, we'll make the graphics (digital print for the SN logo - vinyl for the remainder).

I have several other good prospects for SN graphics, so I won't charge you for the art.

Keep in mind that what Moj said is dead on correct. Screen printed decals will outlast the boat, but you get into the $1200 for the screen printing charges). My digital prints will last 7 years (and I would still recommend that the boat be under cover - though that's not what 3M says).

Posted By: buddym

If you want to stay true to the logo, with the little squares, it would be virtually impossible to "weed" out the vinyl.

If you want solid letters, we can do that easily.

sorry not following, and I'm not decal expert.

I dont need the original colour; what I would like is retail the original shape of the decals. not sure what you mean about the little squares?

I'm thinking solid letters would look really good and "moderize" it a bit. I'm not a huge fan of the white faded sqaures to begin with.

yes, your thoughts? I know its faded and I will buff it out some more and try to wet sand it, but I like the black anyways.

can you produce those in the same shape/size as the originals? how $$$?

thanks
kyle

what other decals or striping will you want? It will factor into the price.

btw - these may be available from the manufacturer since the model is current. You should check with them first.

at this point I'd say just the SKI NAUTIQUE for either side.

do you mean the other decals like "correc craft" and the awsa decal?

I'd love to think its current, but nobody else seems to think so with no offers on it at 10k

Kylecraft,
This may be a long shot, since it seems you haven't posted in a year, but I would be interrested to see how you vinyl turned out. I have the same year and color boat.
