Hi everyone
I would like to make my own decals using either this paper or this paper. So my first question is, which paper would be better to use? Also would I need any solutions or anything to cover the printed designs with, or anything like that? Thanks for your help. Nick

Nick,

I've done a few decals in the past, so I'm certainly not an expert. The paper choices you've linked should work just fine. I have an older HP inkjet printer and once I printed the decals and let them fully dry, I sprayed Testor's Decal Bonder (#9200) to seal the ink/paper. I'd really like to find a local source for decal paper that can be used on a color laser printer...I've got a really nice HP I want to use.

The first choice you linked, in their ad, tells you that they recommend using the Microscale Liquid Decal Film (their #127). I'm pretty sure it's more or less the same thing.

If you get the Experts-Choice paper, I'd get the Microscale too. A friend did up a partial sheet for me using an ALPS printer and he recommended the Microscale stuff too.

Hi Mike

WOOPS, I ought to learn to read things more thoroughly ! Thanks for your help, I think I probably will get the 'Experts Choice' and also get me some Microscale Liquid Decal Film then!!! Cheers, Nick

Nick,

Let me know how that paper works out. I'll also need to check and see if they have the paper for a laser....if so, I may drop them a line.
