You print with toner on the decal paper and it holds together long enough to cover with multiple coats of lacquer. I don’t remember how many. Then you soak the paper and apply it as a decal and the lacquer holds as the binding. You can print any color but white since there is no backing. You can then coat the whole panel with lacquer although you really can’t see the edges. I’ve made new legends for Marantz stereos and done some decals on painted aluminum and wood.</span></p>
