Source for white decal paper?

[bh1701]

I am looking for some white decal paper (for Laser printers). I am not having much luck finding anything on the internet. Do any of you have a good source for a quality product?

Thanks,

Bart

I've tried several, and my favorite is the stock sold by Bare Metal. Good quality, prints nice, thin, and works well with Micro Sol/Micro Set.

Yes, I use BMF clear decal paper in my Alps printer, but they also sell white film. Unfortunately they seam to also be out of stock at this time.

Make sure to select the paper for laser printers.

You might try Sunyscopa paper.

They seem to be in stock. Warning: their thin film is *VERY* think. I found it difficult to deal with. I would go with standard thickness.

Bill,

Thanks for the info. I forgot that Bare Metal makes decal paper, too. Not exactly what I think of when I hear the word "Bare Metal"!

A question for you: Let's say that my decal would be a colored dark red rectangle with some white text inside of it. If I cut the decal tight to the edges of the decal, would any of the white decal base be visible at the edges when it is applied?

Probably, but how visible it is depends on the base color. If you have a dark blue car with the dark red rectangle on top of that, there will likely be a visible edge - but no more than what you'd see with a vinyl sticker on a 1:1 car. If it's a yellow car with the dark red rectangle, you'd be hard pressed to see it even if you knew it was there.

I used the Micro-Scale decal papers, both clear and white. They work pretty well, but be sure and use a light coat of clear on them afterward. I could scratch the ink off with a finger nail.
