[R-390] Dry Transfer Decals

[Gary Pewitt]

You can get all of the transfers, dry or other, at a -real- print shop.  
A -real- print shop has printing presses and is -not- a copy shop.  A 
friend of mine was a journeyman printer and often made decals and 
transfers for me.  It helps if you have good originals for them to work 
with but computer printouts will work too.  73  Gary  N9ZSV
