Printing decals

[ezdays]

I've had positive results with Micro Mark's decals by spraying them with Dullcoat about a minute after I pulled them off of my inkjet printer or else the ink ran.

I had the opposite problem. I had to wait until the ink dried before I clear coated, otherwise the ink would run, even though I used decal paper for inkjet printers. I also used as high a resolution print cycle as I could, so there was a lot of ink on the paper. Also, one coat wasn't enough. Two or three coats at least in order to keep the ink from bleeding when submerged. I coated the paper in one direction, let it dry, then coated in the other direction just to be sure it covered good.
