Best decal paper/system?

[joefryfry]

Anyone favor one type in particular? Price doesn't matter, I want something good. Thanks.

Are you talking "make your own"?

For ready made lettering, I like CDS dry transfers.

Yes, I want to make my own, from a regular printer. Background color (white) doesn't matter.

Joe, I just used some Testor's decal paper for ink jet printers and it worked fine. You have to spray the paper after printing with a decal bonder and let that dry but otherwise I'm happy with the results.

I can also vouch for the Testors, it worked just fine. Follow the instructions! Haven't tried anything else so I can't help with comparisons.

I've used Testors, though I had to do about 8 very thin coats of the bonder as to avoid bleeding out (killed a sheet or two). However, I've heard alot of good about the Bare Metal Foil decal sheets. I'm planning to order a few soon.

I use testors also, but I've used ms paint and set the printer for 8x5 index cards for bigger decals and it works great:thumb: :thumb:
