Piet , There was a sticker for some overseas markets which read " If you can read this, the pedantic twat on board has fallen off". Do you, by any chance, have any of these available? I need one for my Laverdino...

Joking asides the machine I have, when, hopefully, the Mimaki engineer finishes fixing it tomorrow (fingers crossed, had it 2months now). The engineer is called Ian, I am getting to know him quite well.

To change from CCMMYYKK head set up to C-Y-M-KW, W being white involves flushing and cleaning of the second K line, and any other second head lines for spot varnish etc. The printer will then run at half speed, and will over print upto 9 times for ultimate saturation (very, very slow!). The time and inkloss from change over and back would I am afraid incur some king of minimum order charge of ?200. There are other printers set ready to go with dedicated kit.

Just a small aside, Richard Williams in sales at Mimaki has had his 1200 Laverda for 30 years now and still really enjoys and loves it. :)

The stickers in question are printed in white, honestly this is not a problem.
It was a problem for earlier digital printers as the film weight and opacity was not what they were originally designed to do.
I remain unimpressed by their resolution in white.
It's all about finding the correct tool for the job, you can change a tyre with spoons, but why would you?
I am a technical screen printer and can print any colour you like.
White, black, copper, silver, translucent metallics, artificial etch, phosphorescent, resistive and conductive silver.
I even have ink made for me that photofluoresces at specific frequencies.
Just printed the Red Bull Cliffdiving trophies in 5 colour 2 pack epoxy.
Control panels for geological monitoring systems so all you jolly drillers can frak away to your hearts content.
Sonar detection system back up optical sensor fronts so you Americans will believe there really is something out there.
Polycarbonate protected graphic overlays in 5 colours with white text for ROV dive boat control units.
Honestly I really do know what I'm talking about.
I'm not a mechanic.
I may well be a bit grumpy.

Having been to Kevin's shop in Edinburgh and seen the equipment and obvious skill set, I have no doubt Kevin is the man to do the job and to the highest quality!

Reflecting on the likely size of the market to sell the stickers into and whether the job itself is worth doing, that is another matter at the moment if only the North American bikes were inflicted originally with the safety/warning stickers by Laverda.

How many others are interested in a set or two of the Laverda warning stickers?

No, sorry Bob. :D

I remember the t-shirt with "If you can read this, the bitch has fallen off" on the back...

yeah, I still have a bunch as well, although I have given quite a few away at Wolfgang's rallies... Not a big market for Laverda stickers of any kind, apparently.......

Hi Piet

I sent you an email direct concerning purchasing at least one set, happy to pay by PayPal or however you want.

What does the "starter motor" warning sticker say?

option 1:  "Warning:  motor may start if you push this button."

option 2:  "Warning:  motor may NOT start if you push this button."

Come guys, which is it?
 
one other potential option is white decal paper for models.  Basically its an inkjet paper in which you can have white text but if you get the decal wet, the white part dries clear.  So maybe you could make the letter be a slightly different color (maybe a gray or black or something), have the rest white and then make the white part go clear?

WARNING: STARTER MOTOR

WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF, REMOVE THE NEGATIVE CABLE AT THE BATTERY BEFORE SERVICING THE STARTER MOTOR.

Would never have thought about that by myself... ::)  But, I don't stick my cat in the micro wave to dry her either... :D

interesting web site, cool inkjet paper. I am thinking it would probably need to be cleared over to last on a set of Laverda forks, but worth investigating, thanks!
