Dear FOk J

I used those earlier color tests for the lower to make a Decal Print Test.

I lightened it a little and increased the contrast slightly for the print and contary to how the photos represent it in the low light they came out excellent. I made them match the brightness of the upper Loz Decal teast I did. I repreints some of the upper 4 color you can see the re-prints on the Right Elevator the rest fo the Horzontial stab was done using an earlier printing of the upper 4 which came out a little darker. I think my printer was slightly low on ink for the re-print.


But it shows how many varitations there are which go into a actual Decal print.


FOrgive the crude application I was in a hurry to make pictures and not spend lost of time trimming them. THey were a bit thick to dela with due to the extra layers of Decal solution applied to them. ANd the Acrylic Clear Fixentent Spary aplication was key to fixing the inks so they didnt wash off in the water and while handling them wet.
