Re: Decal



I am finding a lot of advice around here frustrating as of late.

I have an Epson Stylus C66 Inkjet Printer that makes excellent quality decals.

This printer cost me less than $100, but due to it's photo-printing ability it can print with great quality. Yes, it does have limitations; I cannot print white or metallics, but it still works well for me. I can print alot of things, like simple graphics, stickers, and most importantly, license plates (!) with great success. I can also print engine labels, inspections stickers fuse box diagrams... a ton of things, and I don't need a $900 Alps printer that I can't service or find ink for.

I am not a "newb" modeler. My inkjet and Revell decal paper and bonding agent work for me. I think some folks around here need to eat some humble pie.

For those of you who don't beleive me, take a look at my "not serious modeler inkjet and Revell is top notch" decal work that's "fun" but I'll soon learn it's unnacceptable:
