What keeps the lazer ink from running when you soak it in water to free the decal film?

Hi Kevin,
The short answer is yes if you don't need to print white lettering or real high resolution. A color (or black only) laser printer can take decal paper and print on it like any other paper.

thank you Brian for the reply.

ok, so, OF COURSE I do not have a laser printer.

and, you guessed it, I want the lettering in White.

ok, now for me to discuss this all with a friend of mine who is a computer guy.

 (I am not)

once I run this all past him and see if he thinks we can get  white ink and decal paper, dry transfer paper maybe? and so on, we'll give it a shot on an inkjet and i'll let you know how it goes.

(it will most likely be a while)

thanks again.

Kevin.

Hi LLoyd, hope you are doing well and staying safe.

Microscale also makes a product called "Liquid Decal Film" that is a brush on product recommended for strengthening old decals before you use them.
