Orange decal lettering on black base

You need to use white decal paper. Print your orange with a black background and trim real close..

Thanks for the good tip.  I will try that.

Thanks,

Ed:

Normal decal paper that we use in inkjet printers will not work against dark color backgrounds. One reason is that these printers do not print the color white. Professional decal makers who use printers will use Alps printing machines which do print white. I believe they print a background of white and then the decal pattern of colors over this. This allows the decal to show up on dark colored backgrounds. For example if you want text, first the text is printed in white then it is printed again in the desired color.

If you are printing a pattern on white decal paper cutting close to the pattern will work. Just make sure you have a super sharp Exacto blade. A dull blade or even scissors will result in the color coming off the decal at the edges showing the white paper.

If you are printing text cutting out the letters will be a real hassle.

If you don't like your results contact Stan Cedarleaf.

I buy all my custom decals from Stan when I need to place on dark background colors.

Joe,

Thank for for the explanation.  Makes sense now that I read it.  I was using a color laser but the best that I could accomplish was a slight, but still unacceptable color on the black.

I will try the fellow you mentioned in your post.

Thanks you for the help,

Ed

Let us know how it turns out.
