If you want >to print foil metallics you'll have to go with the more cantankerous, >and more expen$ive, MD-5000. > Sorry, but not true. I have the MD-1000 beside me as I speak, and samples of decals printed with the metallic "inks." However, I would advise against an ALPS product at this time. First, they are no longer made, so any you buy will be (a) very expensive, and (b) used, with little or no warranty. Second, and this is related to the first problem, repairing ALPS printers is very expensive. My MD-1000 started skipping lines during printing, which would leave a thin horizontal band through the decal. It's a common problem, and easily fixed - if you have the Mac version. Then you just fire up the software to adjust it. I have the PC version, and this adjustment can only be done by ALPS people. They wanted $185 plus shipping both ways to do this. And there may not even be a repair facility in the US any longer. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 02 Jun 2002 18:56:23 -0500 From: Al Superczynski To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Printing decals Message-ID: On Sun, 2 Jun 2002 18:59:46 -0400 (EDT), Jamie wrote: >Why this particular machine?

We've never had a breakdown or glitch after thousands and thousands of print jobs. There are things I don't really care for about the ALPS....f'rinstance I do NOT like the look of the decals that come from it, except for plain white or black lettering, but it's durability has beat any other printer we've had. I'm curious to see if Okidata services the US market with cartridges. Right now, there's no real problem getting the supplies to feed the monster.

ALPS printers are no longer sold in the US (I think for more than 2 years now), but they are actually still in production. Actually, ALPS never produced any of these printers. They were always manufactured by OKI and sold (in different parts of the world) under OKI, Citizen or ALPS labels. The OKI DP 5000, which is *exactly* the same as the ALPS MD 5000, with the sole exception that it runs with 220 instead of 110 V, is still available in Europe.; Likewise, you can still get a *new* MD 1000 (labeled as an ALPS) in Australia. As the MD 1000 is a multi voltage printer (110 and 220 V), there is no limitation to their use in the US as well. As for cartridges, the OKI's are 100 % compatible with the ALPS for obvious reasons. I am at this moment using a mix of ALPS and Citizen cartridges (finally could restock after three months - you all have no idea what it means to get those cartridges over to Malaysia)... Finally, while laser printers are also an option, the true advantage of the ALPS are - the fact it can print white - the intensity of it's colors Volker ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2002 02:21:12 +0200 From: "Chiamami" To: "-" Subject: Qualcuno ti ama in segreto Message-ID: <27849200261302112750@itoup.it> ------=_NextPart_84815C5ABAF209EF376268C8 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" ------=_NextPart_84815C5ABAF209EF376268C8 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message

Unless Bucky has a metod of dulling foil in his article. I've been thinking about this a lot, I have a foiled P47 that has got better and better as it gets older. Would a spray of acid rain speed up the process? What foil are you using Bucky, and which adhesive? To answer a question from Sanjeev I use Microscale metal foil adhesive and as thick kitchen foil as I can find, thick foil takes sanding and polishing better. I dislike Bare metal foil because the brush marks where they applied the glue shows through on the front. I spray on glue with my airbrush to avoid this problem, and using thick foil helps too. /Neil C.

Message-ID: Just been looking at some of Diegos latest work, and I can say that the gallery is in for a treat. One of the things D is building is an Academy Spad, it's looking very good, except for one thing, those darn oval covers with louvres on. They are awful on that kit, and in fact awful on the Pegasus Spad 12, they are the worst thing on my model. They are a little better on the Revell kit. the only good ones I've seen are on Matts Aistah Aigh (sp?) which is Czechmaster. I think its been mentioned before, but these cry out for photo-etching, how about it Part and others. Oh and talking of louvres, I saw that Anders Bruun had carved out individual louvres on a model, so it can be done. He etched straight lines in a pattern, then carved a rounded slice from each louvre, really neat. /Neil C. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2002 08:58:28 -0400 From: "Mark C" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Printing decals Message-ID: >From: "Jamie Gagnon" >Reply-To: wwi@wwi-models.org >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: [WWI] Re: Printing decals >Date: Sun, 2 Jun 2002 20:08:35 -0400 (EDT) > >Hi Mark; > > > However, I would advise against an ALPS product at this time.

Decal film can sometimes be melted by laser printers, which tends to cause a terrible mess on the drum. ALPS printers used a technology that didn't rely on heat. Also, you could get just about any color you wanted.
