Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Totaly OFF topic .. but who cares. (case front panels)

2006-01-11 by Norm Stewart

The decal paper is available at model train suppliers.  Runs a couple of 
dollars per sheet (8-1/2x11).  Two types - laser and inkjet.  The inkjet 
requires an overspray - krylon laquer, etc. for water resistance.  You don't 
need to print a full sheet - print on plain paper, then cut and tape the 
decal paper over the printed area and re-print.  Works great, no fuss, no 
chemicals, and can be slid around a bit while wet for exact positioning.
