Retro , you could go the laser route that I went but some one said they dont sell the HPM254dw printer any more that I am using . I'm sure there must be other printers that will work with the ghost white toner. A lot of people make tshirts and other things with the ghost white toner. Once you get it figured out its not that hard, but you do have to put the white underlay decals down first before putting the color decals down. So basically you have to decal your model twice. Unless its an all white model then you just put the color decals down. |

Are you looking for tips on design, templates, and such? Those in the biz may not be too keen to share.
Seems you have the software and hardware. So you just need waterslide decal paper (white) and film (clear), keeping in mind you can't print white on the inkjet. Test print your designs on paper to test fit, and print on glossy photo paper to check color reproduction. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |
