Brother Hadafix Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Does anyone know of a good decal procuducer or a good brand for doing 40K scale decals on ink jets? I am using cutom artwork for my units, but am in no way good enough to draw them freehand on to infantry and vehicles.

Carlson793 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 If you've got a copy of the logos you want, I could probably prep you a decal sheet for printing. Then it'd just be a matter of getting some decal paper appropriate for your needs (white vs. clear, inkjet vs. laser) and printing your own. (Though if you'd like me to prep them, there's a time factor involved - I've got shoulder surgery late next week, and it'll be a couple weeks after that before I'm cleared for work.)

Brother Hadafix Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Cheers, I will be a while till I get anything sorted as getting the art work cleaned up by a mate, so it is when they are ready.

Brother Hadafix Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I think that my main question is; does anyone know of a reputable company that will print custom decals?

*Furyou Miko Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 If you have the decal designs, surely you should be able to find a local print shop, especially if you live in a university city. Just get some transfer paper and the pattern and take it down to them.

Dark_Master Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 If you have a half decent inkjet you can do your own. I suck at free hand, but can do photoshop. Did the side and top for this http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b606/Dark_master1/Blade%20of%20Caliban/C2353D7D-CEF7-4571-9260-C6D2F3BAD755_zpsncgurtfq.jpg Used paper from here http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/default.aspx?gclid=CNvr877AzcMCFQf4wgodjToA2w Edit: make sure you spray with varnish and let dry before putting anywhere near water DM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303078-decals/#findComment-3942316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've used Crafty for decal paper as well And, as Dark_Master said - seal the paper before use. I use PlastiKote Krystal Klear (in the UK Hobbycraft sell it). The printer I used to print them was (at the time I bought it) a bottom end range Canon (got it at ASDA for £20 ) Whatever you use to seal the paper, some advice: Multiple light coats is far better than one heavy one (it can saturate the paper and make the ink run, ruining the sheet) Make sure that each coat is completely dry before applying the next (around 40-mins to an hour, if I recall for the ones I did) Ensure that the room you spray them in is ventilated - it honks!
