Title: Mr Decal Paper - are they still in business?
Post by: cmason on October 05, 2024, 12:02:24 PM
Not sure if this is the right thread (or what would be) so mods please move if appropriate.

Does anyone know if Mr Decal Paper is still in business? I have used the products previously and the results were good and want to restock on sheets, however the website is dead (well, its 403 ) and no activity on the FB page. Plus I note a number of customer complaints elsewhere online but did not see anything saying they are no longer trading.

Alternatively, can anybody recommend an alternative source for A4 sheets of inkjet printable clear waterslide?

Cheers,

Colin.

There seems to be plenty available on Amazon.
I just typed 'inkjet printable clear waterslide' in to Google.

Yes there are several other suppliers listed. Do you have experience of, or can you recommend any of those other brands?
(I notice Mr Decal Paper is still listed on Amazon but is stated to be "currently unavailable").

Cheers,

Sorry Colin, I am in the same boat as you. The last couple of times I have bought any decal paper was from - you guessed it - Mr Decal Paper!  :)

I also used to use Mr Decal Paper. I last ordered some blue backed a while ago, it was a very different (worse) shade of blue to the previous order. I emailed and never heard anything. Just kept it in the end, but was a bit disappointing.

I've just ordered some more this week from Scale Model Scenery. I'm not sure of the extent of their range, they did blue backed laser paper; which was what I wanted. Will report back...

Here in Oz we have a decal outfit called Dr. Decal and Mr Hyde. I've been happy with their supply of blank decal paper and with their custom printing of white decals. I suppose the shipping cost between here and the UK might be a bit of a drawback with your using them.

Thanks - I might have a way to pick up from Oz (as I do from the UK - being located sort or midway between the two - actually nearer to Oz.... ).
