I recently purchased some decal stock (item # 82272) from https://www.micromark.com for use on an HP OfficeJet printer (InkJet). Anyway, I have some tips for those planning on making their own decals with this material:
1. It prints great, but make sure you don't include too many effects (drop shadows, highlighting, etc.). I found that the effects make the rocket look 'dirty' and not professional. Use solid colors, or even a clean fade on your deacls and you'll be very happy.
2. It is reccommended that you spray a light coating of Krylon Clear Acrilic on the decal surface to keep the ink from running/smudging when you wet the decal for transfer. USE A HEAVY COAT OF ACRILIC TO SEAL THE DECALS. Maybe not too heavy, but you'll see what I mean.
3. The decal sheets are standard letter size (8.5" x 11"). Plan on putting as many decals on the sheet as possible to avoid waste. Think ahead.
I think that's it. I hope it helps someone from wasting a sheet or two of decal material.
