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

Not with inkjet paper.. but I have transparencies that I can print on
beautifully with our laser printer... if you would like some, send me the
files and I'll print them out and mail them to you. You can attach the
transparencies to whatever backing you want to use.

Brenda, Can you handle VISIO files?

I really don't know. What's the file extension? I have a pretty good photo
program that can handle a lot of different file types. I may need them
transposed into something like a jpg, TIFF, etc.. but I can let you know
more once I know the file extension... or, you can send me a file, and I can
play with it and see how it works.

I really don't know. What's the file extension?

VSD

I assume the transparencies should be printed backwards so the printed
surface can face the mounting material.

Don't think that would be a problem, since it's a simple matter to 'mirror'
the image before printing, or even in the print queue IIRC.

I have used transparencies that are made for inkjet printers and have had
good luck. Staples in Canada sells them.

Have you tried overhead projector transparencies?

Just a thought.

Sounds fair to me! I'll pop round for the next BBQ.....

(I was thinking of moving to Texas, there's a whole bunch of people I'd like
to hunt!)
