    I use an old Alps printer for these and it only does up to A4.
    I’ve not seen the material in rolls but it may be available, there is a company near Carlisle that does waterslide paper for inkjets but again I’m not sure it’ll work with solvent inks.
    Depending on how or what your doing you’ll also need to have a white undercoat or the base colour will show through, or you use white paper and then you have to cut out the printed shape.

    What were you wanting to do?

    mate,i want to apply them to surfboards then clear coat over them.
    surfboards are white, same as they do helmets etc but little bigger decals.

    I should have looked at were you come from 😳

    Should be fine with a white background, still not sure if you can buy it on rolls though.
    I got my last lot from America as A4 sheets, they make it themselves so they may be able to help you.
    I’ll try to find were I got it from and let you know.

    yer surfs up dude,ha
    thanks for that,they say to us a inkjet printer but the inks fade after a short time,thats why i thought about using my roland,eco sol inks.
    any ideas on appling decals on to fiberglass?? all the helmets these days have amazing graphics on them,
    printed vinyl is still to thick and have to apply to much clear to get them flat. (-) (-) (-)
