White toner for laser printers

[RR_Mel]

After seeing the pricing of white laser cartridges my Alps MD doesn’t look as expensive any more, even with its cartridge price increases.

I agree, I too will be following this thread.  White printer ink would be extremely useful.

Another voice to the "love to see this work" sentiment.....Very hard to generate good white letter decals without an ALPs or better gear...

White decal paper will disappear under varnish.

Titanium white printing in scale sizes without an ALPS printer ($$$) has been the holy grail of modellers since printers became available to the great unwashed (the rest of us)...I would LOVE for this to work.

Interresting.

You have no idea how badly I want this product to work.

Please keep us posted for your experiments and how it works.

Hello all,

What is the cost of the white ink cartridge versus white decal paper?

On the directions sheet from the Micro-Mark decal paper,

"Note: inkjet decal paper will also work in laser printers,..."

Having only inkjet printers white ink is not an option for me but I curious as to the cost difference and is it worth it?

Keep us informed on the results.

Hope this helps.

 

This would not be a replacement for white decal paper. It would make lettering steamers and such with white lettering easy, should also work well for window lettering for shops and other buildings.

I just found out that a Gerrman company makes white toner for laser printers. You replace the black cartridge and print white instead of black. Supposedly works on any transparent decal paper.

Here's the link: http://www.ghost-white-toner.com/?lang=en

I just ordered one for a test, I will post as soon as I get it and have results.
