    Printing white decals

    I know it can/used to be done on ALPS printers but can it be done on inkjet etc type ones?

    There was a bloke on Britmodeller a while back called Paul @Parkes682decals who claimed that he had help develop an ink for Epson printers. But apparently the MOD was stopping him from producing it (very strange indeed).

    So can it be done now without falling into the would of national security for mass producing decals lol?

    Yes it was the MOD.

    They caught up with this ink & thought it was secret invisible ink that no one could make visible with out the antidote which they could not find.

    This was until months later when the office boy casually mentioned that the ink catridge was empty when tested.

    I heard they sacked the office boy as they considered he was to intelligent for his work & for his own good as these rare intelligence assets precluded him, under rule 1 MOD, from any advancement in the organisation.

        I could do John but then it would be hard to match the black inside the decal with the black paint job I hope to do outside it. I suppose I could attempt to use a white paint pen to mark out the decal.
