Currently we do not have information about compatibility with Bubble-Jet printers.įollow the three steps below to create and apply your decals: However, white inkjet decal paper is available in addition to clear decal paper so that images needing a white background may be printed. Inkjet printers typically use the paper stock to supply the white component or artwork color, so white ink is generally not available. Making decals with this type of printer requires decal paper with a special coating which prevents liquid ink from beading. Inkjet printers use liquid inks to create images on paper. This will allow you to register the white area under the image before the decals dry. Place the white material on your model and slide the printed image over the white decal while both decals are still wet. Then cut the white decal paper to fit the white areas in the decal. This can be accomplished by printing you image on the clear decal film first. Some decals may require a white background or white sections along with clear areas. If you fail to clear coat your image it may be damaged when you place the decal in water. Remember to use Microscale Liquid Decal Film on both laser printer and inkjet images. We are happy to report that we have never heard of any cases of this paper damaging a photocopier. Please have the operator use this setting. Some machines have a setting for transparencies or heavy stock. The test was conducted using the bypass trays on these machines. has tested this product on a Cannon 550 and a Xerox Regal 5790 with great results. This will reduce the number of rollers the paper comes in contact with. It is suggested that the bypass tray be used on all photocopiers. When doing decals where a clear background is needed, you may have to separate your master so that any clear areas come out clear. This is because when doing decals with letters like “USAF,” you do not want a white background in between the letters. Following this procedure will prevent the photo copier from printing the blue from your master on to the copy.įor some subjects you may find it necessary to use both our white and clear decal films. This is due to the blue background on printed decal paper. If you are copying a decal sheet on a color copier, you’ll need to transfer your decal to white styrene. This is because most copiers and printers do not print white. Use our white decal film if your subject has any white areas.
