Hi All:
Has anybody had any success with one of the many "print your own decals" systems on the market today. I'll like to copy some of the older decals I have. Any advice on using old decals would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have had no problems with both Papilio clear sheets and Testors white sheets. You simply print them on your ink jet printer, then seal them with clear acrylic spray. I use Krylon Crystal Clear. The key to copying other decal sheets is to be sure they are on a white backing paper, otherwise, the copier will print the colored backing paper as part of your decal as well. If you can still lift the decal and put it onto a white background, it is best.
Here is the link to the . Papilio decal paper The testors can be found at good hobby shops, I found mine at Hobby Town USA.

Good luck.
