N Gauge Discussion / Re: Decal Printing Paper

Hi all,

Thanks for the input - much appreciated.

This is for Injet printers.

The best results with my printer have been with the old Tullis decal paper.

That has changed over the years and no longer gives as good a result.

I've tried a lot of other decal paper and have not been getting as good a result as I used to get.

The SMS decal paper result is unpredictable - but that may be down to the inks not being the same.

I used to use Mr Decal Paper as well - much missed and no trace of him in another guise.

Currently working my way through the various eBay offerings.

Latest sheets came from the USA and cost more - 10 sheets cost the same as the last 50 pack I got.

But, they seem to work well with my printer - so we shall see.

Thanks
Phil H

The shorter official vid is slightly shorter but maybe more heart wrenching than this one, but there's no denying Pavarotti could outsing anyone on the planet

The Scale Model Scenry stuff is good. It's a nice dark blue so you can see white. A lot of blue stuff is too pale.

I used to use Mr Decal Paper, but they disappeared quite abruptly. Last batch of clear backed I used "Hayes" via Amazon, and it's been fine. All laser in my case.

Is it for inkjet or laser priner?

For my ALPS printer I use Tango Papa laser decal paper from the USA, or Microscale. Preferrably with blue backing for when I'm printing in white.  I've not yet used up my stock from 10 years ago.

I'm not sure if Tango Papa is still going. 

I've not tried any of the below possibilities

Hi Brian,

I've just got some from the USA....

Same brand as I used to have, but not available in the UK!

Just had a trial print tonight, waiting for the product to dry for 24hrs, then can seal and see how it works out.

I don't know about Oasis.
They have produced some good stuff over the years which I have quite enjoyed but also some very mediocre offerings.
Their internal conflicts don't help but then The Kinks, all those years ago, suffered from the same problem.

Expecting a load of flak for this one, but I don't care, I had one of the greatest nights of my life seeing them back together last year. Perfect Dad/Daughter moment

Just catching up again :

Cream - yes I quite like Cream. I don't listen    to them much these days but good old fashioned classic early rock.

Thunder - predictably, that's not my thing.

Sara K - that's more like it.
