I heard that if you use rice paper and print a logo onto it from a printer it works great, is this pretty standard or should I look towards something else to put a logo on my board? Thanks in advance! - Brandon
Brandon, The rice paper in the printer works fine if you have a good printer. When you print out a logo, first rub resin on a test logo to make sure the ink won’t bleed. Getting logos professionally done is pretty cheap. The initial cost will include the screen or screens for multiple colors. Additional logos will be really cheap because you already have the screens.

Where can I get them done and can you give me an estimate??

Santa Cruz, CA Just a word of advise… computer print logos look faint. Especially if you have color (black isn’t as bad) but they tend to give your board a cheap look. Set up costs for screens depend on how many colors and some guys have misc differnt fees. Mine are two colors and runs $75 for set up and $.80-1.00 a sheet and I get 6 logos on a sheet. They look way better than computer printed ones. good luck

Ryan where can I get this setup and sheets printed?? In other words what > type of store?? I am not familiar with the area where you live. But you can look in the phone book under screen printing. But the best way to find someone good is call a local shaper or glasser and ask them who makes their laminates. You’ll be surprised how much info you’ll get. You can even ask surf shops who have shop boards with their logos. good luck
