Ink Jet Decal Sheets

Monday May 12, 2008

Decals can be used to create all kinds of transferable miniature patterns. Several kit makers use them to create china patterns, they can be used to add designs to miniature beads to mimic perfume bottles, and clear decals can be used to create window lettering and detailed lead lines or stained glass. Of course they can be used for the standard insignia and logos for plastic vehicle models as well.

Ink Jet printers can produce surprisingly good decals. Available in single sheet packs, decal film may be an easy way to create the detailed designs you want to apply to surfaces.
