That must be why there are white sheets - print everything
but the letters?
From various forums, I've gleaned the following info on making your own decals:
1) ALPS brand printers
will print white, but they are apparently no longer produced, and seem to be kinda expensive to buy and maintain.
2) Decals made with an ink jet printer (like most of us probably have) need special treatment since the ink is water soluable.
3) From reading various people's trials and tribulations, some can't seem to make them at all, some can get close to an acceptable decal but only with a lot of hassle, etc.
4) Nobody seems to know how to make dry transfers at home.
BTW, jlg759, if it's just basic lettering you're after, could you use a "generic" decal or dry transfer set instead of having them custom made?
