I know this has been asked before but I'd really like just a simple answer. I need to make some graphics for a few white undecorated wood sided reefers. I don't have access to a laser or Alps printer. What is the best ink jet water slide decal paper out there. Thanks for any help.

I am also looking for the best product on the market for several projects I am working on. I have used the Testors paper and was disappointed with the results on anything but a completely smooth surface.
Is there a decal product out there for ink jet printers that is compatible with Solvaset to allow the decal to wrap around details?
I have not found anything for inkjets that I would recommend- however, if you have access to a Kinko's or other professional printer, make your artwork, place on a CD, take it to them and have them print it out on Microscale clear decal paper- you can order the decal film directly from Microscale, it's called trim film (clear). Nothing comes close at least that I've seen.
Jeff,
Excellent suggestion. Thank you so much! I have worked directly with Microscale, but don't need a run of 250 sets! This is so much easier.
Jeff that's probably what I'll end up doing. Thanks for your professional suggestion.
2nd on the laser at a office supply place.....see the other ink jet decal thread from today....
Laser home printed....
Thanks for the replies- you'll be pleased doing these decals like this.
Dave, excellent decals right there!! Very nice!
Nick,
You could avoid the headaches, wasted time and money?? Try LBR Enterprises for any and all of your decal needs. Here ya go! http://www.lbrenterprisesllc.com
They create top shelf professional grade decals. Their decals are made on Alps printers using high grade materials.
I use them for all of my Std Gauge decals. No one does Std Gauge decals anymore. I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed in their work.
Thanks a lot Pappy. I'll give LBR a look see.
Pappy,
I gather you have LBR print custom decals for you, correct? Do you email them the images or do you specify the font, font size, color etc and they create a sample for you to approve? I couldn't find anything on their website on how to place a custom order.
Do they have a minimum order value ($$$) or quantity?
Thanks so much for this recommendation! Oh, I presume they can create decals with white lettering, do you know?
Thanks,
Mack
Mack,
email me off forum. My contact is in profile. Since LBR is not a sponsor I don't want this thread to vanish

Ah, oops, my error; mea culpa!
Email sent. Thank you, Pappy.
