Beginner Decal Question

Post by joey_d1119 »

Alright,
I want to make copied of the AMT/ERTL Enterprise D decals. For my use only, not for sales.

Is there a way to scan them, then print them out on decal paper?

What decal paper do I need, and what kind of printer will do a good job of keeping the quality of the decals.

Or am I just stupid and this a dumb question?

There's a section on home-made decals. Yeah, you can scan and print.
Kinkos will be able to do this too, though you should bring your own laser-printer decal paper.

Joey, I've been using Micro Mark. See my post in the thread for home made decals.

As far as your scanning decals is concerned, I make back up scans of all of my decals just to be safe.
