I am looking for someone that can print in white. I have my own graphics
but I need to print on clear water slide paper with a white underlay so
they will show up on dark surfaces. Can you perform this task.


I can't do what you ask, but you can get white decal paper -- I assume
this is a non-starter for you?

You're also aware that you can make up signs using cut vinyl, yes?

My suspiscion, from his handle, is it is quite fine lettering for
scale die-cast models - extremely hard to cur vinyl that fine - and it
would be too thick too.


I think the dye-sub machines are the only ones to put out a white ink.
Back when I was doing graphic design, I longed for one of those,
specifically any $1,000 Alps machine.

Diecast, try
www.dyesublimation.com and look for local printers who
might use that tech.
