Might be a problem, when I asked why the Semroc MX Fat Boy had a red decal instead of the original white I was told it was because they had difficulty replicating white decals.

I'd say it's more than a little trouble. If eRockets is doing it the same way the original Semroc did, he is using a color laser printer, which doesn't print white.

Nor do they do Orange real well. However, there may be a surprise brewing over at the Starport Sagitta.

The printer from Semroc didn't print white. We had to buy special white decal paper.

Commercially, yes. They want a larger minimum number than our niche models require. Looks like BJH may be doing a "microbrew" screen print.

eRockets is going with screen printing for some white decals.
