A friend and I are building a model of the Raven from Elysium:



...and we need some decals for the various markings. The graphics are white-on-camo, so the usual tricks used with DIY custom decal paper won't work. Can anyone recommend a source for custom-printed white decals?

Try Fireball Modelworks. Joseph Osborne there does white decas using an Alps printer. He does a great job at reasonable prices as well.

As an alternative, you could try paint masks. I used Miracle Masks and loved them... It is easier to do realistic weathering after painting the markings with airbrush than weathering the decals.
