Hopefully I've put this in the right spot.

Does anyone know how to print your own transfer sheets using a laser printer? is it possible?
If so, where can you get the transfer paper from? Or is it only possible to do via an inkjet
printer?
Any tutorials would be great :-)

cheers.

Any decent* specialist model shop should have print your own decal sheets (they generally come in clear or white). They also come in 'inkjet' (which need varnishing before use) so make sure you get the right ones.


*For the purpose of this or any other discussion, I do not consider GW stores to be a 'decent' let alone 'adequate' model shop.

You are a lucky boy if you have a laser printer for printing decals
Decal sheet printing paper is available and should be easy to find a source on the internet.
AFAIK white is not possible on inkjet printers.

Unfortunately it is not something I have done but a mate of mine prints his own decals for his model kits.

Here is an awesome tutorial I found on this:
