Wow, that looks REALLY nice! What are you using to make the decals?! We need to set you up with an Album in the Gallery so that you can showcase these!

Very nice, i esspecialy like the transformer sticker/decal. BTW where did you get it, or where can i find one?

[was ist los?]

yea i love that transformer sticker. do you have the design so i could print it and make a sticker. very cool.

I use an Alps MD-5000p printer to make my decals.
Unfortunately, my printer is on its last legs and I don't know how many more sheets of decals I can squeeze out of it. The printer has lots of great features... it's just made poorly and not supported any more.

I snagged the Decepticon symbol from a website somewhere... just do a search on google.com for decepticon decal and size it to fit.

Where did you get the Alps? They are impossible to find in the US!

The printers are discontinued.
You can still get print ribbons for them through most independant computer shops.
Last I checked there were at least 5 for sale on eBay.
I don't recommend buying them because they are mechanically finicky even though they do lots of cool stuff. You can't get them repaired any more, Alps has a trade in program that costs $200 to get a replacement printer when yours flakes out.

I've printed about 50 sheets during the life of my Alps and started having problems around the 40th sheet.

If you've got money to burn and really want one at least you know what you're getting into.
