Waterslide decals

[JT.]

Does anyone know a retailer that sells waterslide decals - I'm after a set for TOTAN, but everything I've seen appears to be the self adhesive stickers. Or alternatively, does anyone have a set already (even a partial set) that they could scan for me so I can print my own on waterslide paper?

I think ones available are all stickers

Was exactly is it you are after ????

Primarily I need the "A" letter from BAZAAR, on waterslide so it's very thin, so then after being clear-coated you won't be able to tell it's a decal. A high def. scan would be enough, as I can easily print the waterslide at home. I may need others too, depending on whether I can successfully resolve some issues with ghosting or not, but I definitely need the A.

You need to do it with a laser printer to avoid bleeding when cleared also

Yeah, I read that on vid's guide on pinside. That's OK, I have a laser printer.

i use decal paper for rc cars, and it is great, much more vibrant with white and have to be careful with clear or lighter colours wash out.
If you use ink jet not a problem you just spray a clear coat over the decal before using

to give you an idea

I could easily make you an A in Photoshop JT. Trace the existing one and make a vector image with a transparent background

Let me know if you need me to

I had some fun recently making waterslide decals. The paper is available on white or clear at about 60-70p a sheet but it's best to experiment with your image contrast and brightness first as the output depends on so many factors (paper, ink, printer, image settings) and makes a huge difference



Then of course how to get your original image? The best by far is to get yourself a hand scanner (eBay £25) and access to a perfect playfield to make scans.

I have a spare scanner if anyone is interested?

Could be awkward as most if not all lasers wont print till fully warmed up, since the toner wont stick!
