Hi John, <br />I'm using "Vitacal" decal starter Kit. The Kit <br />includes 2 sheets each of white and clear backing <br />decal paper. I'm printing on a "Lexmark Z11" ink jet printer. I model a small western railroad running in 1869. I choose Minaeral brown as my frt. car color. My problem is ink jet printers don't print white so some other color needs to be used. Gold was tried but, was too light. I've tried several other colors, browns, blacks, greens and even blues. Black is the only color readable. It does not look realistic. I'm trying some ideals which look hopefull otherwise I'm going to have to do it letter-to-letter with commercial alphabet sets. Yes, very Tedious. <br /> <br />Here's to green lights <br /> <br />
