FOUR COLOR PROCESS DECALS: Any color photograph, slide, or painting can be made into a decal. The method is called FOUR COLOR PROCESS. This is a process we do everyday and it is gorgeous. However, in order to print this process we must make separations and the charge for this is $180.00 per picture or size. Then, figure the job like a 4 color job and add 25% to each decal.

GLASS DECALS: For pricing glass decals, ( firing @1050 deg ), compute the standard 1 color price as a 2 color price since all glass decals must have a white background for proper density and viewability. The rest is the same.
