Default I made my first decals!

Granted it's pretty simple, all black.

Goblin decal set.

The mess on the bottom is 'cause I used an old "oops" sheet that Phred gave me.

It's a beginning!

BTW I have a boatload of finished decals that Phred included so until I get the site up and completely transfered over to me...that's the next thing I have to do, just email me if there is something you need.

I've pretty much sorted through all the decals I have and I can find it if it's already printed.

"There be decals here!"

Congrats Sandman! Printing with an ALPS printer has always been tricky for me... specially when my ALPS printer has one burned element and now I cannot print much with it.

Happy to know that you are getting "acquainted" with your new business.

If you want a Goblin decal just ask.

All I have to do is slip it ino an envelope.

Email me for payment instructions. I will get on the web site next.

Oh yeah. And then on the last pass of a muli-pass, very complex decal the printer leaves an inexplicable and totally indefensible scratch down the entire length of the sheet.

One of its favorite tricks. But you didn't tell him about that, did you Phred?

Gordy and I have spent much time already discussing the many, many, MANY, foibles and demands of the she-devil ALPS printer.... I am sure that we missed something though....

For example: yesterday, while I was on the phone with Gordon, the printer had an ink cartridge loaded in the print carrier, and refused to release it no matter what Gord tried or I suggested. Finally, he turned the printer off and left it alone for a while. When he started it up, it spat out the cartridge. Ugh!!

ALPS printers are like spoiled brats sometimes.

Actually he did!

he he he!

The printer does sounds like some sort of Ka-poketa-poketa machine from "The Secret Life of Water Mitty".

Really? I had heard that it was more like something from Rube Goldberg!
