Hi all!
I've been thinking recently about doing up a few decals on my ink jet printer. I've read about some of the things you need to be careful of (can't print white unless you've got an ALPS, setting solution, glossy paint, etc.)
The only thing that I'm having some difficulty in locating is the point size for my font. I'm trying to figure out what would be a good point size for the numbering, and if I should even bother trying to figure the point size for the weight and capacity lettering, as well as any other stuff.
I'm starting out simple...just trying to do up a box car or two to see how things go.
I haven't tried printing on the decal sheets yet, mainly due to me not wanting to screw stuff up (I know, I know...live a little). Printing in draft mode on white ink-jet paper usually smudges a bit on the smaller point sizes, but I'm sure it'll be better once I tell the printer that I have "film" in it.
Thanks,
-- John
