The ALPS does inkjet, but has a small thermal unit per dot to fix the
ink,
right? I thought that the thing that made the decals really work was
being
able to put down a layer of white, then color, so that whatever was
underneath wouldn't 'shadow' through. But, it's been a long time since
I'd
bought the original batches.

Shameless plugs that support the figs as well as ECC is a 'good thing'.

I just wish someone could work out a deal with Jon that would allow
