Testors decal maker...
Posted by MartianGundamModeler on Thursday, January 29, 2004 5:20 AM
I just got the Testor's decal maker kit and the odd shaped CD won't fit in my drive. I have the old style drive where you slide in the disks instead of the "tray type". Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

There was a similar problem while at tradeshows people would give "business cards" on cute, odd shaped cd's.... anyone with a front loading rom-drive was suddenly out of luck when they could not eject them.

Find someone that has a tray loading rom-drive, copy the disc legally as "your operating backup" and you should be ok :)

Yeah, I literally had to pick up my computer and shake it out! I was ticked. I'll try coping it here at work if I have it in the car. Thanks!

P.S. What's the purpose of the "funny shaped" CD anyway?

to fit in the box, I guess. I have the kit and I tried it out for the first time tonight and it didn't work quite as planned. I don't know if I allowed enough time to dry, or if I sprayed too much solution on, or if it was the size and color of the decal(really small gray printing) but anyway it didn't work. I printed out some other decals with those and they are bigger and will have days to dry, so I will try it out again, to see if it works.

The disc is a simple form of printmaster program and if you want the better program you have to pay more via their web site - go figure. Quite honestly, if you are good at using you own program, you can make your own decals like I do. Also, there is a place in Miami, FL that sells decal paper for ink jet AND laser printers(www.decalpaper.com) . I bought some and I was pleased with the product. Just print you decals and seal it with a light coat of lacquer or the testors sealant and you've got decals. Good luck.
