Paul--don't use pure black. Muddy it up with a slight muddy red but make it
very close to pure black. You'll get crack-free results. I had the same
problem with a project a few years back.

Here are samples of printing to Testors water slide ink jet decal paper.
The ink seems to crack or reticulate resulting in clear lines with in the
black areas.

Quite frustrating. I created all the art work in VISIO. The S meter was
scanned and cleaned up in MS PAINT and re-lined on VISIO. It looks great
on
the screen and on regular paper.

I wonder if I received some old inventory from the hobby shop.

Any one have any experience laminating ink jet paper to make dial scales?

Thanks, Paul P
