Since I found HERMA I discovered that Adobe had provided a download page for all kinds of superseded software along with activation codes. They are a European company and produce software for making labels. I am running XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro, and, Office 20. I too was looking for opinions on which software (free preferred) would be most suitable for work in 1:76 or 1:87 scale models which I am into. Does anyone on the forum have any experience with HERMA? I was going to post some screenshots of HERMA's website but could not figure out how to do that, sorry.

It took me all of a few minutes today to make some samples on plain paper of decals that I needed, and if I can do it, anyone can. It works with lots of different software. Downloading the app to a PC, gives you menu and a ribbon for Word 2010. They have over 870 templates which can be downloaded. One can do them on line, or download the software. I was looking for opinions on which software (free preferred) would be most suitable for work in these scales. It did not seem to be suitable for 1:76 or 1:87 scale models which I am into. I tried a free (for 30 days) copy of Papilio, but it was not for me.

My needs at least in the short term are for numbers and lettering.

My next challenge was to find the best (for me) software to produce the artwork. My first trip into decal land was the recent purchase of Micro-Mark Clear Decal sheets for Inkjet printers and a can of Testors Decal Bonder. I was going to ask the same question as I am a newbie in the Decal world.
