Transferring an Image (PSD or JPEG) to Fiberglassed Material...Please Help

Does anybody know how I may be able to transfer an image that I created in Photoshop to a fiberglassed boat hull. I made it at 300 DPI so it will come out nice and clear, but I don't know how to transfer it. It is for a competiton at a museum where a team in my class had to make a model cargo ship (about 52" long) and we need the team logo on the ship.

Any ideas?

 

em u could make a sticker outa the img...serch the net for companys that make stickes/graphics for cars ?? ? ?

 

take the file to kinkos, they can print it out for you.

 

A sticker is a good idea, but I would rather use a transfer so it just transfers the ink and we don't need to cut it out/clean it up so it looks nice, but it would work and is a good second solution. Thanks.

What services does Kinko's offer where they can print it out for me so I can place it on the hull of the boat? I thought they just did copies, etc. which would mean paper and paper + water = a horrible mess

 

try the label magic software. you can download it free of charge and then import the image file in to it.

or you can try the so called canvas transfer - The print (or lithograph) is sprayed or hand-coated with a chemical compound. When it dries, the print is covered with another chemical solution that separates the paper from the ink. How well the paper separates and how carefully all remaining paper is removed can affect the finish product. Once the paper is gone, what’s left resembles a thin slice of Jell-O.

I've done this before and I should tell you that you if you do your job properly you would have the chance to achieve a great result.

best of luck mate.
