Just seeing if anyone can point me in the right direction. Used the search feature only found 2 other threads on this subject.

I'm looking to if anyone is still doing the old style slicks like C&D and the Montesi slick. I talked to PRIME being they were the guys doing them but have stopped as of late.

I also spoke to Cameron over @ C&D but he told me that he won't be doing anymore slicks, his resources have stopped doing them.
I Know Tim over at Five Point does the formica bottoms but I belive thats different than what I'm looking for.
Prime and Cameron told me to look into snowboard companies, but I have no idea where to start.

Appreciate anyones input!

Shawn

Yeah Cameron stopped doing them cause Prime presses their decks.

PM Adrian, I know Olive makes skate, snow, and wake decks. They maybe able to help.

I'm tossing around the idea of getting some slick decks made. I was going to contact Prime but thanks to this thread I already know that option isn't an option anymore. I want the slicks to be as close to the "back in the day" slicks I rode as possible (the white edges, once you slide them enough, the graphic wears away to the white underneath, etc., pretty much like the old World Ind. slicks). Anyone have any words of advice/where I should start looking? Does the fellow who started this thread have any photos of the decks he's had produced? Would that same kind fellow be nice enough to share where he found that still produces the slick boards?

Also, I want to be able to have full color graphics on the slicks, not just a blank, solid color slick bottom.

Thanks in advance!

the slick material is / was made here in PA.
it is a high polyester content sheet material.
this was white base then the graphics are sublimation printed into the plastic, then glued up in the pressing process.

sublimation is ink that turns from a solid to a gas,
under pressure and heat 400 degrees for 45 seconds.
the gassed off ink is actually a dye that dyes into the plastic.

we did our own slick printing before we had our own woodshop.
i still have the sublimation transfer printer from 1990.

it works great but the technology of the seiko printer is way outdated.
these days you can run sublimation inks in an epson inkjet printer.
much cheaper and quicker.

my friend has this inkjet system for sub transfers.
they are typically used to create photo transfers on t-shirts, mugs, hats, etc...

so if we can still get the plastic from pennfibre,
we can make the OG slicks from early 90's.

the graphics are then photo full color.
