printing your own decals

**obscure_shadow** · 03-29-2013, 04:39 PM

hey anyone have any information where to get the materials to print your own waterslide fire on decals? i been doing a bit of searching here and there and i need to get some lables quick, i was thinking we could probably get the materials to print our own rather than ordering custom ones from another company and having to wait and have the whole setup fee thing....

so far i have found a lot of info on printing your own waterslide decals but none of them are fire on, and i've seen some tutorials that mention bake on ones for ceramics but most of them are to cone 04-06 in the directions which is much higher than would be needed for boro, and i'd be afraid to fire the stuff that high because it might slump, also they did not have any links to pages where such a thing would be sold, and i did quite a bit of searching around and usually it comes up with pages that are for no-fire and it's usually all two different companies for the first five pages or so....

so if anyone has that information it would be greatly appreceated,

also if not does anyone know where i can get custom printed fire on waterslide decal lables that dont take 3 weeks to get (please dont suggest abr i dont want to deal with them thanks)

I looked into this for a long time last year, id contact a company fast and talk to them and see what the wait times like. I dont think its somthing that is easily done

I use decalcraft.com

Takes a couple weeks but worth it. Good guys up there in the Canada

But that's not printing your own so...

I'd rather plan my work ahead and have some reliable and consistent results... I looked into that too but found I'll leave this to the pros!
Also, look at Zach P.'s work, or JAG or Slum Gold, they definitely have a nice variety on decals, but it's obvious the designs repeat themselves.

Yeah those enamels are made out of the same stuff boro colors are made out of. It is not a simple or safe process your best bet is to go with the pro's...

im looking to become one of the pros...... and i need thousands of lables... wait times are about 3 weeks from decal craft and trinity, with a setup fee and all, i figure if im going to already put a couple thousands into it i might as well buy the correct equipment and do it myself... i need black and white on the same image, also if i could get the eqipment i would start offering the service to others....

If you are looking to become a pro, probably better to save money on the decals and hold off. If you were ready to be a pro, you would already know the answers you seek. It's pretty well known how to do this now.
