Default Decal Solution

Guys I tried running decals off a good inkjet (Epson photo quality) and it did not work. The images wouldn't dry on the paper, even after hours they smudged badly when touched. The odd thing is, this was using decal paper supposedly designed for use on an inkjet printer!

Managed to find a decal manufacturer, located at the Decal Connection in Tequesta FL. E-mail at DecalConnection@juno.com
I had custom decals made there recently and the result is at least as good as the best commercial decals I have ever used. In fact I am applying them to a project right now and they go on with no telltale demarcation lines, and react well with setting solution. Drop Jim a line, just ensure the file you send is to the correct scale (e.g., how it would look when printed on A4 size paper - I sent in the wrong size at first and the markings came back way too large, my mistake).
