Alps printers work well,but the MD5000 has been discontinued a few years ago. Here is some information on the Alps MD5500,from the Alps Yahoo decal group. I have just heard from Alps Electric regarding the end of production of the MD-5500. The last date that these will be on sale is 31st May 2010. Additionally, we have the following information: 1. All printers sold between now and the end of sale date will stall carry a 12 month warranty 2....

Good advice, David. I get Rob to make decals for me when I want something that nobody ever had. Like all the proper "Marlboro" signs on that McLaren a year ago.

Nice work.

Great looking car. Nice work.

Rickard5 and I run 1/43 slot cars. To find decals for this scale is almost impossible. I was having a guy from ebay print decals for me. They looked great, but peel up very easily after awhile, and if you don't paint white behind the decal on the body, they looked not so good. I have had 9carfan print a couple sets for me in 1/43 and they look great on any color body (thanks again man)! So I guess the question is, who will print us some...

Try these guys Group 7 I've used a few of these for 1/32 and they are very nice. Jim

They no longer support them. These printers are prone to breakdowns in my opinion. The ribbons are getting scarce. Hope this helps you make your decision. Jim Jim, Don't you use a laser printer? My decals are printed on a Kodak Check Proof printer, it prints...

I recently installed Trackmate, and modified my light bridge. I want to add some buildings, here's the 1st. The jersey walls are just sitting in place, I still need to sand and paint them.
