Printing your own decals

I bought white and clear decal paper for laser printers on Amazon. I have found that the laser decals are considerably easier than inkjet decals.

PRR1644, thanks for the reply.   I will be looking into this.

i used a brother all in one inkjet printer / fax to generate my decals, the squirrel creek railroad ...

held up good for six years now, font was paintdrip.ttf ... i wanted colour, other wise laser would have been a little sharper possibly ..

note: the papers are different for laser or inkjet,

I agree with PRR1644 regarding laser printers.  I print my own darker colored decals on my laser printer, but the biggest challenge with most printers is that you have limited options for for printing white or light colored decals.

I don't have a laser printer at home, so I had the local Staples (office supply center) use their laser printer to print out my computer file that contained the decals. I supplied the proper decal paper.

Good luck

Printed these myself (color laser, on clear or white decal sheets):

This was printed on clear.

The two PS2 covered hoppers decals were printed on clear (engine uses commercial decals)

All lettering on the bus was printed, along with the stripes on the roof. Route name and logo decals were printed on white and trimmed, the rest on clear.
