This is tricky. Printers don't do white - they assume your paper is already!! If it is white lettering on a background then use white decal paper and print as normal. To do white letters by themselves on clear decal paper though...not possible at home! Unless you can find white ink for your printer, then someone with specialist printers will charge you for it.
QUOTE Also the difference between 'wet slide' and 'dry rub' types of decal.
I'm not sure about the difference, but if you print your own wet slide decals then let the ink dry thoroughly and then spray with varnish to protect the ink from the water. This can make the decal less flexible and so Microsol etc. can be used to make the decal relax into details.
Dry rub might have to be printed backwards?? I'm not an expert on decals so I readily await correction! I'm about to do some myself for the first time and an interested to know what people say.
