Has anybody downloaded the free sample they offer in the ad?  I can't because I'm in work.

I'm wondering if they actually offer Coca-Cola trademarked decals.  I know they show Coke machines on their packaging but I would think they would show a few actual decals that are offered in the software.

What would one use to print out the decals?  

I would also like to hear from anyone who may have bought this software.

Thanks.

I thought you had to be an authorized dealer like Funtronics to sell things like that.

I tried to open the sample download but it's an .eps file (?)

I contacted the seller (he responded promptly).  I had asked him if the software contained any Squirt logos.
Here's his reply:

Hi!
 
Eps images need to be imported not opened into most software applications such as Corel Draw as Interpreted Post script, not Encapsulated Post Script.
 
These images are intended for Vinyl Plotters but many people buy them for other uses as well. If you do not have a vinyl plotter, then you can take the images to your local sign shop and they will cut them for you on their plotter.
 
Sorry, but this software does not have the Squirt-Boy logos.
 
Sincerely,
 
Dave

There are free 'converters' available on the web that will allow you to view an eps file.
I downloaded a sample, shrug, hard to judge the rest of the images based off a 1/2 x 1/2 image.

It's interesting how someone can claim a copyright on a copyrighted work, "Have A Coke"...

Dr G. is correct regarding the Squirt logo.
