[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BentnoseWillie One limitation of this set is that the decals are only as opaque as the ink your printer uses. I tried my first set with yellow lettering for a dark green locomotive, and the yellow from my HP Photosmart 7160 isn't opaque enough to work. [/quote] Yellow is the most difficult color to print ,and I imagine would be impossible with any inkjet printer. I have some commercial yellow decals printed on an ALPS printer, and they had to be printed first in white, and then re-printed in yellow to work. The Testors kits would be most suitable for darker colors on a lighter background, or print them on the white decal paper and cut them out. This could work for a logo where you could cut around allright, but not on other stuff. BB in Canada
