shood23 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi guys I call on the wisdom of the group. I need a quick/ over simplified explanation of how to use one or all of the tagged applications above on how to make white decals with no background so i can send the file straight to a print maker. I have only recently started using these apps so am very overwhelmed in the functions (many swear words have come out). All i want to make is around 10 decals that are word logos for a certain car but all have to be white and I can't seem to 1) find away to import the logos I want to use and 2) find away to change the back ground colour to nothing. I've watch many YouTube videos but nothing has come up that closely resembles what I am trying to do. The thing is I get it's probably going to be something super easy but I'm thick when it comes to new programs. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks séan. I know of white decal paper in looking more into making a sheet to send to an actual person to print with the white with no outline. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 You need to have some sort of drawing program and possibly a photo editing program as well. I use a DTP [desk top publishing] program in which I can draw lines, circles, turn them in different directions. I can use many letter fonts and size them from tiny to very big, widen or skinny them, rotate them For specific art work design I scan it into a photo editing program, mess around with it there then I can place it on my DTP page and re-size it, rotate it, etcetera there I've not used the facility but my DTP prog has a feature I can change the page to a PDF. With it being a PDF anyone else can open the page and see it; without it being a PDF it can only be opened by someone using the same DTP prog I use As long as everything is clean [ie no artifacts] then the person getting the PDF artwork can print it out with the white on the computer screen being clear on a clear decal film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Séan Pádraig Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 What kind of images are you wanting to replicate... is it a race livery for racecars or artwork on aircraft??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Séan it was for a race car but with all the info I got from here and a little more digging using different search words I have finally managed to get the job done. Just need someone who can print them now. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
