Printing my own decals

[ki6ds]

How do you print decals with a crimson number edged in white? What font do you use to do this? Anyone help with this? I have a color laser printer but don't know how to print the 2 color numbers. Thanks in advance for your help. Doug

Doug, I'm not sure that you can do that with a laser printer. You may want to make White numbers, then make the Crimson numbers smaller, and overlap them. Meaning to make 2 sets of numbers, put the white decal number on first, then after it dries, put the crimson decal over the white and center it that way.

Here is how I would do this...

I assume that the crimson numbers outlined in white will be placed on a colored jersey. For the sake of this demonstration, I'm going to put these numbers on a black jersey.

1) Using my software program I create the numbers with the outlines.
2) Again using the software, I place the numbers on a black (jersey color) background. (I don't make the whole page this background color, just about a half inch all around)
3) Print out your decals.
4) Paint your figures' jerseys black (or whatever color your using)
5) Cut out your decals and apply
6) Go back and fix any problems with the black paint
7) Seal and your finished

Guys, I figured it out last night. Microsoft Word has a feature called Word Art. It is found by going to insert, click on picture, and then click on Word Art. That will let you do all kinds of things. I downloaded a free outline font in true type and added it to my Word fonts. Then I went to Word Art and typed in numbers. I then clicked on fonts, and picked the colors for the inside and the outline. Works great!! Hope this helps someone. Doug
