Make Your Own Decals the Easy, Inexpensive Way
Create your own railroad names, logos, stripes, road racing emblems, stained glass windows, signs, aircraft and military markings and other custom artwork faster and in 1/10th the cost of custom decal services. Copy any pre-printed design or create your own artwork with ink and paper or with a computer drawing program. Then, duplicate your drawing onto the blank decal paper using an office copier or computer printer. For color copies, take the original drawing and decal paper to your local copy center. Works like any water-slide decal. Just cut out the decal, dip in water, and slide it into place. Use clear decal paper for most lettering. Use white decal paper when white is needed as a background color. Each sheet of decal paper is 8-1/2 inches x 11 inches. Complete instructions included.
