Hi Bill; Yes, the desktop publishing business killed dry transfer lettering - it's main reason for being was publishing paste-up. The CDS materials are new-old stock. Still, may be worth a try. I don't know how Jerry does it; maybe because it's still "hobby" and not a "business" that needs a profit margin. His work is good, and he doesn't have any major "minimum order" requirements, at least on freight car sets. Maybe a complex set or locomtove lettering for an obscure line would be different. He is less restrictive than the guys using Alps printers were, before those went OOP.

It has been a few years since I heard from a dry transfer maker (Greg Komar) that NO new model railroad dry transfers are being made. There are no companies left with the machines running to make them so for now they are gone forever. Applying dry transfers has everything to do about their age. They get worse and much more difficult to rub down as they get older even in a sealed bag. I would be suspect of almost any dry transfer at this point of being too old to use. Hint – let’s hear it for Jerry Glow! Yaaaaa! Thank You, Bill Lane
