I followed a thread in a Garden Railways forum, but I thought I might get more responses here. if i'm breaking any rules, let me know, but I could use some help. I got some trim film(decal paper), and created my own herald and lettering, and printed them out using an inkjet(Microscale doesn't recommend the inkjet, but it's all I got). I ordered Microscale's Liquid Decal Film(they also recommend coating the finished decal to avoid running). Well, I let the decals sit for almost a week, and then I thought I'd put them in plastic to keep the dust off them until the decal film got here. The ink still smeared! I couldn't believe it was still wet. I'd like to hear from someone who's done their own printing. Microscale suggests using a laser printer, so I'm seriously thinking of buying a new one(we'd use it quite a bit around here any way, so I wouldn't be totally wasting the money just to print decals). But I don't want to buy one and have the same problems. To paraphrase Monty Python, "Any help would be.....uh.....very.....umm.....helpful." Thanks. Tom "Ohio North Eastern" S.
