All,
For what it's worth, I'm working (on the side) for Decals Express
(www.wargamesexpress.com). While we don't have a lot to offer yet, our
decals are pretty good (if I don't say so myself) and we'll make custom
orders. If anyone has specific needs, let me know. I've also just
heard
from the owner that Decals Express will be at the ECC. I plan to add
some
items to the line before then, so if anyone needs custom work done, get
in
touch before then so that I can try to have things done by the ECC. :)
Sorry for the shameless plug.
Oh, BTW, I have tried doing decals on an inkjet and it did not work very
well. I am now using an ALPS MD-5000 dry transfer printer and print on
sheets of decal paper. This method works much better and we get pretty
clean decal sheets out of it.
Thanks,
John
