I wish I could help you! I mostly interested in the alps type for the reason it can print white...I am building a fleet of Chicago Metra F40ph locos and bi-level budd passenger cars and especially for the locos, I need white printed on clear decal film...I am working in N scale, so a large portion of the artwork would be small. How is your machine on detail. My wife has a cannon S800 which is a really nice photo printer and could probably meet my detail hopes, but, alas, it doesn't print white. Of course, Micro-scale, who has a decal sheet in their inventory lists is out and they don't knowif or when they will run another print of the,...Walther's is back-ordered, as well, so I'm fairly screwed, it seems. I have thought about contacting one of the places I have seen advertise in Model Railroader located only about 20 miles from me here in Illinois, but I'd still need to do the artwork for them, and when I checked their price schedules, I was like-wow, this is harder than calculus to understand... If, in the future I actually did artwork, would you be willing to print me off a sheet or sample?? There is a guy on ebay selling 2 alps md1000's now, but he states he could not get them to work and he got error messages from the machines. The current bid is only $110 for the pair, but if they are screwed up, what's the point. On the other hand, maybe his machine is too old or some other stupid computer anomaly befell him...Also, perhaps they could be repaired at a reasonable cost. I think the machine is about $600. What did you pay for yours, if you don't mind... So many questions! I hope you don't mind!! Any suggestions, guidance, thoughts, and especially help would be greatly appreciated! Your Friend, John
