Default Re: Water slide transfers.

Hi,

Many thanks Alan for the information and web link; it makes interesting reading. I note your Alps printer works by printing one colour at a time pulling the paper back whilst the print head swaps to the next cartridge.

An unusual feature is the "new finish cartridge" which applies a glossy lacquer on top of graphics and photographic output; how neat is this for what I'm trying to achieve as it would possibly save having to spray with lacquer to seal the ink before immersing into water.

Thanks also Jim for another brilliant website showing how decals are produced using the Alps printer; I've saved both websites to CD.

I've spent the morning looking at various printers on the web but the Alps printer is ideal so I'll try to obtain one. What a fantastic forum for information and help. Thanks again, Col.
