I'm wanting to print out some waterslides and I was wondering if anyone has any templates that are already scaled to the proper sizes. Looking for Cobra sigils(red, blue, silver, and black + other colors that you may have) and pretty much every other variation of Cobra symbol out there, ARAH-styled GIJoe logos with the red/white/blue stripe, and the many uniform patches and ranks worn by the Joes. I'm looking for something that I can just throw straight into photoshop without having to resize so I don't lose clarity on the emblems.
Also, what font and size do y'all use for the GIJoe stands? The reason I'm asking for emblems that are already sized in bc I've tried to do it myself and I keep getting crappy resolution on the images. So, please help me out.

I don't have the logos but here's some tips that might help your resolution problem.
Find a really large image to work with then scale it down to the size you need. Bigger the better, because when you enlarge a small image the quality gets worse. Work in 300 pixels per inch resolution, it's the standard for printing. |

Also, is there any way you can print your decals from Illustrator instead of Photoshop?
Logos should always be created in a vectorizing program for optimum clarity. This goes for screen and print.

What paper do you use for printing? Do they sell special decal papers for printing?
Im trying to fix myself a Steel Brigade logo cause Cobrastickers.com dont have them.

I have illustrator on my PC but not my Mac. I'll import the files to it and see what I can get. Thanks!

Hobby Lobby sells Testors translucent and white backed waterslide decal paper but I have some from another company(can't remember the name at the moment) too. I haven't used any yet bc my old printer sucked and I'm gonna test it on my Kodak printer.

If you have Microsoft Publisher 2010, that usually does a really good job of down scaling with minimal loss of fidelity. I made a bunch of Bio Hazard and Radiation labels for my 1/6th and 1/18th scale joes projects using Publisher and it was amazing.
