balls47 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I must admit that I did not know that you could print white on an inkjet or laser printer. Please tell how you did this. They look great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This printed on a Epson printer A4 size,the white ink is a british invention that 2 friends and i have developed it is currently being pantented and registered here in the UK. It will not be avaiable for 2 years,but if any body wants some decals printed (white ink on to clear decal) please contact me at my email parkes682decals@aol.com It prints pure brilliant white,this was done for a truck modeller who wanted the logo done for his company. I am still getting modellers who suspect that it is see through and not dense enough,here's the photo's to prove it Paul Parkes682Decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have an ALPS MD-1000, and cross my fingers every time I go to print. I don't know what I will do the day it stops working. Now, any idea about replicating the the metallic gold? I build many wheeled model emergency vehicles that feature "gold leaf" lettering and striping. The ALPS does those very well. Best wishes to you on your new venture. I'm sure that I'll be a customer when it becomes available. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David I second this, giving us a means by which to do white already is a great acomplishment, but if you can also do metalics then that would be amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Hi David, Thanks for that,yes as part of what i do i also make decals for my ever growing Air Ambulances (Helicopters) as no one makes them.That is why i started making my own custom decals just for myself and then fellow modellers at my club started asking for them as well.Then a friend who has sadly passed away last October,said "you need to put this on the internet" and thats how "Parkes682Decals" came about. Its the "holy grail" to do white,but to do any colour is more difficult. Its took 3 years to get white,but we have come along way and learn't a lot about printing and still are.

MarkW Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Is this a white only solution, or can you do opaque overlays for high res color printing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
