Hi all
I am going to make my own inkjet decals for my current project and have a quick question.
Printing, bonding the decals on the paper, and applying them.... no problem. My question is....can I use decal setting solvents on homemade inkjet decals or will that mess them up?

Thanks everyone and good modeling,
Wayne

I haven't had any problems doing it Wayne.
For my sealant I use Microscale super film. Be carefull though, the superfilm may affect your inks, so test it first, but it doesn't bother Cannon inks. Also they are really transparent, had yellow totally disappear on a panzer grey, and red disappear in black, when printed on clear film.

Thanks for the info Dave,
I will definately test some dummy decals before I put any on my kit.

Good modeling
Wayne
