For printing on plates, mugs, some garments and place mats etc I use a system called Dye Sublimation which I wonder is what is being refered to on the Rossi post. Basically the object to be printed has to contain or be coated with polyester and then the transfer is reverse printed with special inks (dyes in fact). These when subect to heat turn to a gas and sublimate into the polyester coat and knit with the molcules to become one. I have seen at exhibitions systems for printing mobile phones and computer mice and other odd shaped objects with this process so I would bet this is how he had his done which would mean the helmet first being sprayed with the polyester clear varnish. |

hi
Sam here, just joined. We're a family run Airbrush artwork business who specialize in Helmets.
Rossi's lid was done by chap called Aldo Drudi from Italy who;s done many over the years and is one of the best out there. Like him we specilize in lids but in World/British Superbikes as well as various car championships. Check out our site and let the artwork do the talking. regards. sam Last edited by MagnetON; 12 Jun 2009 at 08:44. Reason: Removed advertising link |
