Anyone have an ALPS for a small decal project?

Does anyone with an ALPS printer take on small decal projects?  I need decals for PRR DD1 containers.  I have the artwork.  Printing is all white, unless we also need outlines to help locate the white on the paper background.  Its about 1/2 sheet 8.5x11, but I can arrange any way to your specifications. 

Thanks,
Doug Nelson

If anyone else would like decals for the PRR DD1 containers, let me know.  Containers are from Keith Thompson via Shapeways:

These containers sat on FM flatcars.

Doug, I have an Alps but I'm pretty swamped with projects already (mine and other people's).  I don't want to take on another project at this point.

If you go to http://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/decals.htm and look for Custom Decal Companies down the page you'll see a list of decal makers who use Alps (or equivalent) printers.  From that list I can personally recommend John Hagen.

Since you seem to have a single-color print-ready artwork (which normally is the largest part of custom decal's cost), you should be able to get them printed at a very reasonable cost.

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."
