peteski Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Judging by the gold ink, he is likely using Alps MD printer - excellent way to make waterslide decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is affirmative (zoomed in on the smaller font top center of page). That is the first piece I've seen from an Alps printer, and the quality looks pretty impressive. Very crisp.

That is the first piece I've seen from an Alps printer, and the quality looks pretty impressive. Very crisp. I see it now. Yes, Alps MD printer is a wonderful hobby tool. It has its limitations, but there are workarounds for most of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did artwork and printed for practically nothing Looks like they do excellent work. I do tons of my own decal work. I've done it for many years but have always needed an outside source to print white or metallics. I had a supplier until recently but it looks like he'll be inavailable for a while. Do you know if Firebird will accept my bitmap artwork or do they redraw everything in vector form before printing?

High octane Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I had decals made from Firebird Design last year and I don't recall having any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Oops! I just checked my e-mails and it seems nothing went out to Firebird. I just sent him a new message. (I just checked - it really did go out this time!) Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
