Our printer can do that. We've done several RC cars, boats and planes. We use an Epson S70670. You have to make sure your profiles don't overink.

But they might be doing those as waterslide decals. You use waterslide release paper, print with a desktop inkjet, cut to shape, then spray on a lacquer stuff to make it into a waterslide decal.

I do not do any printing. I use signs365 for everything printing. I have a bunch of my teams that are wanting these done. Im just trying to find someone who can print these on a sheet and contour cut. Pretty easy job. Everyone who I used so far, the prints turn out the same.

I’m not going to promise anything, but have you tried us yet? That’s not in our wheelhouse, but we might get lucky.

The ONLY way to do what your asking for is a process called "Dry Transfer Type" It us essentially Letraset. A photo emulsion process that leaves the graphic on a transfer paper. There are vendors that will take your vector file and color choices and make the type perfect down to 1 and 2pt. You install them similar to cut vinyl, except you are in essence pressing the ink on not a piece of vinyl. It is in this way that the graphic does not need to be contour cut. The only drawback to this method is the price, however if you order enough in advance it brings it down. Here is a list of vendors that do it:

I just started using Firesprint for yard signs and decals. Been very happy with products so far. Big help when we are overloaded.
