Halleluja! Been printing decals for a long time, some of my first builds had decal dials, but I also had issues with them not being sharp enough to be content with them!
Thanks for this!

Ok, I'm not bad at photoshop, but I'm stuck trying to insert to TIFF into the file I've created, and the size you made the file produces a loooong rectangle with me...

Also, how to arrange the files and make them come out the right size is a total mistery to me... hope you can help this dummy out @repmaster1234

That's very strange. I'm not sure how you are importing the TIFF file, but try finding the file in your documents, then right clicking it and choosing open with photoshop. That should automatically give you the right size document. Then after that create a new document that is the size of your paper and copy paste.

If I may ... tropical dials require something more than crispy printings
