Nice, Thank  you, I'm actually looking for someone to print gold.

Judging by the gold ink, he is likely using Alps MD printer - excellent way to make waterslide decals.

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.

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.

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?

Not sure, as I would e-mail him and ask about that.

Thanks for the reply. I've sent Firebird an inquiry.

It took about a week before he replied to my email. But will have the product done in no time

[porschercr]

OK, thanks Dave.

Good to hear.

I never heard back from Firebird Designs... ?

[Fat Brian]

Keep at it, he can get pretty busy.

I had decals made from Firebird Design last year and I don't recall having any problems.

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.
