Lord Ferguson Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I like CorelDraw for DTP tasks - very easy to use and very flexible - and very cheap for an older version as well - That said I have never printed any decals for my kit... but that must be the printer's capabilities over the DTP package I would expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 you can buy a water slide printing kit from hobbys book in wh smiths have put the web address somewhere on the forum but can't remember it at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 yeah coral is good ,i also use paint shop pro,and goood old windows word for some,well just for basic shape and size. one tip always test pritn a few times on normal paper till your happy with the size and look,that waterslide stuff ain't cheap enough to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Waterslide stuff, seethru or white backed is availible on ebay Can't fault CorelDraw, it make things much easier, photoshop will also do the job but I find it less easy to do. Avoid MS Paint, its just a world of pain and looks crap even if you do it properly, not to mention problems with the sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 one thing i found with the paper is the see through version,doesn't keep the colour very well,looked fine on the backing paper but when you slid it off,it went almost see through in the colours i had printed,even on the laser printer,hence the silver looked very light grey,and when it went on the red bonnet,wasn't anything like what it should be,i stick to white full stop now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
