Making Proprietary Decals - Which ALPS Printer?

[P5se Camelback]

Pete and Kevin ...

Thanks guys, for what I'm sure is solid advice.

I have "hard" camera-ready (do they still use that term?) artwork, that I set by hand, using Letraset Windsor Bold transfer type on Letraset 2000 hot press illustration board back in 1981 or '82. I did use the copy camera to make some reductions (down to 200% of the image required) for use by the likes of a Donald Manlick or a Rail Graphics. I even sent for and received samples from both vendors. Then ... corporate shake-up, product line moved from CA to FL - no personnel went with it hock: , packed everything to move for new job ... then another move and then another ... just now unpacking everything and really getting back into the hobby with some seriousness now.

I hesitate to send any original artwork anywhere outside these four walls! Maybe I can find a copy camera, or some place here locally that can scan my originals and produce some "200-up" art that I can send to a custom decal vendor.

Thanks for you advice! I knew the APLS printers were no longer in production but I was under the impression from reading posts on the Yahoo APLS Decal Group site that cartridges of white ink (not ribbons - ribbons were probably for the dot-matrix printers) were no problem to acquire. :?: :?

But I will look more seriously into commercial production of custom decals! Thanks again, guys! Much appreciation!
