Alps Printer Decals

I just purchased an Alps printer for making decals for my rods. Does anyone have any tips and pointers for printing and applying the decals to the blank? Thanks for the input.

Do a search in the archives here on this forum. There should be pages and pages of information on making rod decals with that printer.

Scott,

In addition to whatever info you will find on your search, I also recommend you make sure to cover your printer up when not in use, and refrain from using it for anything except your final label design...if you can print practice label designs out on another printer, it will prolong the life of what you have. Very expensive or impossible to repair, depending on what goes wrong.

There is also a Yahoo group for ALPS owners. I will post a link up here.

Take care,

Chris

Thank all.
Chris,

Yes. That's what I'm finding out with all the research I've done. Not much to be found on them unless you send it to Japan.
