I use Paint Shop Pro on Windows 95 (after changing the extension to .tif),
but lots of other paint programs will also read tiff files.

This is starting to turn into a FAQ... B)

I've been using Paint Shop Pro to convert the LZW compression to Huffman
compression and preview the image (including at smaller scales so I can
see the whole plane on screen at once); I then import the Huffman version
of the file into NewDeal Office 97's draw module, NewDraw, for printing
at 1:1 (which Paint Shop won't do if either dimension of the image is
larger than the printable area of the page).

Corel Draw works well also.

I just downloaded the plans for the Centuri Bug X-24 from JimZ and
used the Viewer that came with my EasyPhoto Scaner. If it say's 9X5
Photo size it will print it 9X5. worked great for the plans so far.

I haven't had any problems with either version 4 at home or version 5 at
work. I will continue to use it.

There are also plenty of shareware and public domain programs available
to view and/or print tiff files.

That's because you're not an ARTIST. ;-)

I have Corel 4 at home, try printing out the JPG's For the Centuri
Bug , Point or Vulcan from JimZ. Way to big nothing happens.

But the little chep as program the came with my EasyPhoto Scanner will
print them out no problem. The Bug looks real nice printed out and
built on Photo Glossy Printer Paper

I'm sorry but, Corel is the evil stepchild of Freehand or Illustrator.
I use these programs everyday as a Graphic Artist. If you want true
reproductions from downloading plans from Jimz page you need to get
Photoshop. It will print the plans to exact size and resolution as Jimz
has scanned them including the decals. I then take my downloaded tiffs,
bring them into Freehand, redraw them including decals and scale them to
the proportions that I want to use to upscale each model. Not to mention
redrawing your plans gives you a hard copy of any size plan you want.
Especially for decals, if you take a scanned image of decales to to a
sign shop or screen printer to reproduce your decals at any size, expect
to pay a high art charge to reproduce them, but if you do the work
yourself and take the time to redraw the artwork and provide them with a
disk or a clean black and white color seperations your cost will be
lower beacause it makes their job much easier. But always contact the
shop to see what they can use as far as computer applications are
concerned! Not everyone uses PC or MAC.

Yup, I use Photoshop too and it works great at printing out the plans at
the exact right size. But unfortunately, it's a little out of reach for
the average home user. I'm lucky, I have it at work. =)

It's a REAL problem if you don't have Photoshop because those TIF files can't
be converted or viewed by any of the common tools available. There's a 16 bit
value at 0xB2 that doesn't agree with the TIF spec. Corel used to have
the same problem with it's compressed TIFs, thought the uncompressed were okay.
Does Photoshop allow output of a different format?

In the department of keeping it simple...
I printed JimZ plans using MS Word for Win95 (v.7).
Just open blank page and insert picture.
Looks great printed out with my epson inkjet.

Jim's site is great.

Also, anyone know exact length of BT-20J engine holder tube in plan for
Estes Falcon boost glider?

Hope this helps,

Art T.

Good on ya! As long as you verify the scaling for the picture is set to
100%, you should get accurate prints (at least accurate enough to build
from).

No arguments there, though it's been a while since he's posted an update
-- has everyone run out of plans to send him?

The BT-20J is 2.75" long -- exactly the same length as an 18mm standard
motor. Yes, that means after you glue in a nose cone, the motor will
protrude by the same distance as the depth of the heel on the nose cone.

Jim's site is a labor of love. I haven't run out of plans, just never sent
any to him yet (red in face).
