When making decals, you have to set up your printer differently than for everyday printing:
On the HP printer, Access the "Properties" tab to make adjustments.
Set your printer for "PHOTO PRINT BORDERLESS" or "BEST" resolution printing. This uses much more ink, but it's necessary to get you an opaque covering.
Double check your page size and orientation (Portrait or Landscape)
Set the paper setting to "HP ADVANCED PHOTO PAPER".
Print Quality: BEST
Print In Grayscale: OFF
Orientation: PORTRAIT
Different printers may have their own names under the "Properties" button, this is for the HP printers.
This should print out a darker, more opaque ink.
Follow with three coats of UV resistant clear acrylic.
Soak times will vary. Print extras and experiment.
This is what works for me. Everybody has their own methods.
Well, I'm pretty sure that the decal artwork was something that he paid for as part of that business. I wouldn't think he'd simply share them with everyone. Just out of curiosity, are there no other printers that can print that type of ink on the market now? Or are they just large, commercial units that aren't reasonable for a small business?
