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.
