I just got my machine this week!
I am waiting on ink and decal paper to make clear water slide decals. There is a solution that you put on these after they are mounted onto your project, that will make all the "clear non printed material" Disappear leaving only the ink....say for instance...one of your stars! I will be offering custom and reproduction decal sets as time permits. They will be listed in my ebay store when availalble (link below). I will be offering many custom LEGO decal designs as well...so you can make your own GI Joe LEGOS! (Over 600 custom LEGO mini fig designs will be available over time). If you have designs in mine...shoot me a PM and I will see what I can do! There is setting solution and softening solution for these decals softening is what will make it look like it is formed right onto the surface like paint. Don't forget you need to spray a clear coat over the decals after printing or when you dip them in water to place them...the ink comes off! Where are you getting all the LEGO designs? My buddy has a site chock full of them - even RoC Joes...he wanted to make comic versions of Joes, but hasn't had enough Joe interest.

One of them is essentially vinegar (Set), so there's no real need to buy it especially. After your decals are in place and for the most part dry you can use MicroSol to "fuse" them to the painted surface. Top with a clear coat and the decals are supposed to look like they're painted on. |

Did you get a printer that prints white ink? THAT is the key to great waterslide decals...most printers just don't print for white spaces then on clear decal paper the color of the background shows through.

A friend of mine has a lot of designs, but I will be creating many of my own : ) What's your buddy's site? I may know of him already lol.

Got the Alps MD1300 "Micro Dry" which prints white and metallic colors! I believe it does NOT need the spray...the ink is waterproof, but we'll see if that info was true very soon LOL. The ink is a solid, not translucent like ink jet printers. Those solutions are the key to application on the product for a pro look!
