Hobbycal Decal Paper
#4
Sounds like it is not much different than just using white-backed decal paper. I've had mixed results using it. It works well when I am printing a sign to be placed on a building or a logo that has some white in it that goes on a piece of rolling stock. I have had much less success when I am trying to create white or light colored lettering to place on a painted piece of rolling stock. That requires me to match the background color of the decal to the paint color - and it's nearly impossible to get a perfect match. Also, the edges of the decals tend to bleed slightly, and I've had to paint over the edges of the decal to blend it in. I've had the most success printing white lettering if the background is black, and using a laser printer rather than an inkjet.
