There are outfits that print onto lam materials (rice paper, fiberglass) without having to commission screens or do any other the other startup costs of screen printing. One would still need good artwork (edit: and/or pictures) regardless.

I don’t “have one on my board”, my friend the former shaper at Con is making me a new one. My son who is a computer whiz, works in the industry and is a graphic designer and I have been working from a genuine 4"x4" Con Butterfly sticker I bought a few years ago to come up with an image to make lams from. But then we came across this thread and saw that “artdecrpid” as recently as a couple years ago had genuine original lams. So it seems to me that original lams, if obtainable, would be very very cool to get! But if not, we are definitely persuing other ways…
And we have found Boardlams.com who can do the printing on rice paper of a larger logo than a normal printer…
Problem is that people like “Board Lams” are cautious about printing anything that is not old enough to be in the “Public Domain”. Which to my knowledge is 70 years. Where as just a run of the mill Silk Screen shop would never question where you got your art. If Board Lams would do it; They definitely would be your best bet.
Yeah, we don’t mind eliminating any mention of “Con”, it’s just the Butterfly graphic that counts…it’s going to be a Steve Brom Surfboard
This is a real longshot. You don’t happen to have a CC Rider logo like in the picture below? I have a very nice CC Rider that has stress cracks across the original logo where the board did a nose dive into the shorebreak.
That’s a nice looking original CC Rider Minipin. Let’s see the bottom!
We have the Butterfly images scanned nicely with all references to Con surfboards removed. Working on getting the fonts for the rest selected and then we’ll do a layout for boardlams to print up our stuff on one big sheet…
