Title: HELLLLLP!
Post by: Randy Ryan on March 18, 2017, 12:17:15 PM

Does anyone have a laser printer that they could print some decals on for me? I have the paper but I'm running our of time, I need decals before the Toledo show Apr 7, 8, 9 foir the restoration project I'm working on. I thought I had a source but it fell through.

I have gotten them done at Office Depot.  Tell them what they are and to use the appropriate setting on their machine.  I've had them done at two different stores with no problem.

I have had good luck using this decal paper, just have to put a clear coat over it after you print it, then put it in water and put it on the model.

I use Power Point to create the page with the artwork and then print that page. If you make a PDF and take it to a FedEx/Kinkos office store they can print it out on their machines. You will have to provide the decal paper. Make sure you know if you want white or the clear version.

I brush a couple of clear coats of low shrink dope on ink jet decals. Works fine although it does curl them up a bit. No problem when you put them in water. Then when on the model I add a couple of more coats of clear to seal the edges and for more protection.
