Hi All,
If you are running Windows Xp........you have all the software you need, all the programs are built into Xp already.....That is all I use for my
decals and No other special Programs at all.
MsPaint may look like a very simple program but can be very powerful if you play around with it. Another program to check if you have Microsoft Office (most of you will have it on your PC's) is Microsoft Word. Yep I know it's a word Program, but check out all the drawing tools in there too, Very Useful. Once saved the drawings can easily be copied and pasted into MsPaint and Vice Versa for very flexible editing. I have spent many hours messing with these 2 programs and have had excellent results.
The Only real tip here if you do it this way, don't try to enlarge or shrink drawings in paint as they will pixelate and become distorted...Copy the image and paste it into a word document...You can now scale it to size without Pixelation.
I do all my decal sheets between word and paint...the final
decals get copied and pasted to a word doc and scaled to size until a full decal sheet is built up ready for printing. Save that doc with a suitable name and you have it ready for any number of reprints when needed.
It Really is that easy !!! and the best part is...it costs nothing extra apart from the decal paper....!!!
Regards......Mark.
