<br />This is a bit I have copied from the questions and answers page.It's referring to Supercal decal film but I assume that most of them must be similar. <br /> <br /> <br />"This is another version of SuperCal decal film and requires the use of a <br />finishing spray at additinal expense and you will find that unless you leave <br />a large area of clear decal around the bit you want you will end up with <br />ragged edges to your printing.. <br />If you want a cheaper method of printing your own decals using ink jet <br />printers which does not have these problems and requires no finishing spray <br />then use the JetCal system. If you use water based varnishes it will give <br />you a white background whilst if you want a clear background then use <br />solvent based varnish (asny white spirit based varnish will do) <br />Once again I must advise that ALL methods of printing using computer <br />printers and laser copiers will produce transluscent or transparent graphics <br />which will "disappear" if put on a darker colour except for black which is <br />opaque. The only option is to use the Jetcal system with a water based <br />varnish but you will have difficulty matching the background colour of your <br />decal to the colour of your model as printing and paints do not produce an <br />exact colour match <br />JetCal decal film is available from the Decal Paper Store at <br />www.thedecalpaperstore.com or e-mail them at" <br /> <br />There is a bit more to it but is gets very technical.Hope this helps.Troy
