Decal printed dial

Thank you mate, I really appreciate the compliment from a true gentleman.
This Photoshop work is the easiest part of the game
You're right mate, this hobby is so time consuming. Thanks !
One more thing… just achieved a brownish 27mm Tudor 7922/24 template and, for those who want to use it on a Silix case, I add a 29mm version.
Not already tested but it should print well

Great work Bart, one thing I have learnt is that Illustrator is far superior than photoshop for this, because photoshop is not meant for design work.
The low resolution often found in online pics is also a problem. Using a good inkjet printer is important, but a standard one will suffice.
I tried color laser, but was disappointed with the print quality. I used decals till about two years ago for my panerai builds but the limitations were bugging me
For rolex builds they are perfect though

Thanks mate, you're not the first to suggest this. Several designers offered to help me and started drawing with illustrator… they all gave upGreat work Bart, one thing I have learnt is that Illustrator is far superior than photoshop for this, because photoshop is not meant for design work.

this should be possible provided the lume is perfectly smooth. the slightest imperfections are visible under the decals.
My apologies guys, don’t try to print the Tudor dials I shared yesterday. The small rose logo is not well printable as is. I will make some adjustments and share a better one soon.
Wow. That sounds like a huge undertaking! You don’t do anything half way my friend!
