Umm... You use water-slide decal paper. You can get some here: http://www.micro-mark.com/ . That's the kind Kaminoan uses and I have but haven't got the chance to use yet.

Yes, yes it is expensive and the kind I actually use is even more expensive than the micromark brand.  I tried to recommend a lower cost but still good quality film.

Hey Kam, this is off-topic, but, what kind do you use?

Its is specific to my printer from a little Mom and Pop shop operation.  They actually make the film themselves.

It is a microdry printer that isn't made anymore, well it is sort of still made, the company that made mine sold the patent to Oki who jacked the price up to over $5000 and only sell it in Japan, last I looked.

I still can't figure out why other printer brands are not coming out with cheaper printers that can print whites and metallics. Is the technology so hard to replicate to inkjet or something? Or is it simply the lack of demand?

A couple questions...

Do you have to use the water-slide decal paper or can you just use sticky paper?

For protecting the decal... Is there any other thing you can use?

---

Just one breath... incase that's all that is left...

Well to anwser your second question you can use clear tape. It is a cheap way to protect your custom figures.

---

I meant after you use the decal solution. Like some kind of spray. I have tried tape before and it doesn't work very well.

---

Just one breath... incase that's all that is left...

Oops! I thought you were talking about stickers.

---

BJ: clear gloss spray paint perhaps?
