Testors has an excellent set of products for making your own decals, using a standard color inkjet printer: 1) Decal film sheets - http://www.testors.com/catalog_item.asp?itemNbr=2290 , and 2) Decal Bonder (aerosol spray) - http://www.testors.com/catalog_item.asp?itemNbr=2293 Both of the above items are required for decal printing - first, print your pattern on the decal film (after several "test runs" on plain paper, of course!); then spray a layer of the Decal Bonder to protect the pattern/lettering from washing off when you dip the decal in water to apply it. They have both clear and white-background decal film. I used the white film to make some CSX paint patterns that I dreaded trying to mask. I might still have the degital images of this project at home - if enough people express interest I will post them. I'm really happy with the stuff so far... **BTW, if you decide to try this stuff, buy the Bonder and Film separately --- the starter kit has the film rolled-up to fit inside the square box and it will not work properly with your printer.
