I was trying to use my inkjet printer to create a water-slide decal...but unlike in the past, the ink just did not seem to want to stick to the paper. It kept breaking up as in the pic* at the top.
After several failed attempts I roughed up my decal paper with a 3m Maroon sanding pad. The second attempt is the result. Not perfect, but a lot better than attempts 1-x before roughing up the paper, and the flaws won't be too visible under clear coat.
The other thing I have learned is that maybe I should be trying to find a laser printer to do this with...
*Not sure why the light was so much better in the first image than the 2nd. Of course the better the light *would* be better on the botched decal...
