[Emc-users] OT - decal/paint printing. Re: Piccolo

2012-02-19 Thread John Stewart
Thanks for the ideas; I *believe*, though that:

1) the old dry-transfer lettraset white letters you used to purchase are no 
longer being produced;

2) decal paper for laser/inkjet printers - you can get it clear or white, but 
printing white on clear (white lines and old script lettering) is not possible 
- no white ink!

3) the old AALPS (sp?) printer people used is no longer being made and the 
cartridges are hard to get; (they had multi colours, including white)

4) printing with a CNC printer would have that neat factor. 

There are people who will make ink decals on clear decal paper (or, dry 
transfer lettering), so there are lots of ways still do this - I don't know the 
lead time or cost, though. (not that those really matter, as these locomotives 
take years to build, and any high costs get amortized over the years)

Waiting for my Oldham couplers to arrive from misumi so that I can get my CNC 
machine back running --

John:

I've never used it and I see from the website that the cost could mount 
up (maybe you could amortize the cost over a group of like-minded 
enthusiasts?), but the DecalProfx product from PulsarProfx 
(www.pulsarfx.com) explicitly states

Make REAL dry-transfer (eg. rub down) decals with no visible carrier 
in about 8 minutes. Simply print using a BW laser (or copier) and 
convert the graphic or text to WHITE or any of a dozen real METALLIC 
shades plus do FULL COLOR graphics using any color laser printer or 
color copier. All of our products come with total tech support by phone 
with 100% customer satisfaction, money-back guarantee.

Don't forget to post a link to pix of your loco when it's finished! 
Inquiring minds want to know.

Regards,
Kent

The one above is something else!

I'm am very sorry. Usually I check before clicking send. I blame the
