Did you simply sibstitute the white toner for the black in the printer?
Have you tested any decal setting solutions on the decal?

How well my project worked is for you to decide. Standards of LION are not all that rigid.
For these cars the wntire sides were printed on lable paper and then applied to the cars.

MANY Kudos to you sir. Questions:
1) You have a *COLOR* laser? if yes...
2) Obviously it works in black and white but has it adjusted for the fact that black is now white on multi color printing? IE would dark blue now be light blue? IE something like the UP shield...

Yes, it's a color laser and I replaced the black cartridge. The printer doesn't know that it's printing white. The file I'm sending to the printer has black text.
Does it still do a COLOR print normally or does it invert light for dark because you inverted white for black?
Since white toner would print "white" on clear decal paper, there would be no need to worry about color balance or matching background colors using this approach. Since the background color would show through the clear portions of the decal, there is no need to try to match the background color on the decal. Yes, you might run into some color accuracy problems if you are trying to print white AND another color lettering on a single clear background decal, but a little experimentation should solve such issues.
I would not try to create multi-color or contrasting background decals using the expensive white toner. It would be far less expensive to create such decals using white background decal paper in an inkjet or laser printer with standard ink/toner cartridges installed.

The printer does not know that it has a white cartridge instead of black. If you're printing an image that contains black pixels these would obviously be replaced by white, the result being whatever it is. I didn't try and this is not the purpose of this pretty expensive experiment. All I wanted was a way to print white and that's what I have now.
