Printing decals

[fast car]

I assume you did print with an Inkjet? The ink must be fixed with ether a special fixer for that special purpose or at least some fine layers of dull coat. Fast car recommended this one to me some days ago (fixing Inkjet on plain paper to be water proof on roofs):

The Krylon Crystal Clear shown by Reinhard is what is sold by Micromark for bonding inkjet ink to their decal paper. I strongly suggest at least three if not four coats of the Krylon over the decal paper. Two coats make it resistant, however any continual movement of the decal once you have it placed where you want it will cause the ink to start to deteriorate. This can be purchased at Home Depot or Michaels Craft Stores.

Also down the road, it would consider switching to the Testors decal paper which has a thicker film than the Micromark decal paper and appears to have more adhesive on the decal itself. I haven't had good luck with Micromark paper and called and complained. They were very nice and sent me five new sheets. I have issues with severe curling of their decal paper once it is placed where I want it. The decal below was made using the Testors clear decal paper.
