Hello.

Im wondering how high your dpi needs to be on a color laser printer to make really graphical transfer sheets.

I've only done transfers via inkjet (this was several years ago). I set the printer to print "photo quality" onto the decal paper. I haven't tried with my laser printer yet.

I'd suggest printing several times on standard paper, or photo paper, to get an idea of the quality/detail before moving to the decal paper.

I think either way, you want to spray the decals with a fixative before using.

Don't normally need to seal the laser printer sheets. The toner is generally waterproof on its own.

In terms of a specific DPI...as high as you can go...

For the best images, I generally use my inkjet - better resolution. My laser printer though gets used for a lot of stuff that I don't need or want that high of resolution printed.
