[WWI] Night lozenge problems

[Magnus Berggren]

Good advice. Will give it a try.
Anybody that can scan a Americal sheet to use as original?
Maybe I have to refill that magenta cartridge....:)

Alps printers present a couple of problems

1. They don't do colours other than solid layers well - anything that
requires dithering quickly shows up the Alps  limitations in
resolution and you get lots of little (but very visible) dots of
colour.

2. The other issue is that to the best of my knowledge the Micro Dry
printers are now only available in some Asian markets, and perhaps in
Oz. Any that are around and still working are being jealously hoarded
and conserved

Why not paint your model white and print your lozenge decals on a
laser printer? The decals will be transparent but the white background
will make up for that.
