malcy_p Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi there I get my laser printer waterslide (clear and white) from eBay. I use unbranded papers, but have not had a problem in over 5 years so they seem stable from a colour and 'staying stuck' perspective. /malc.

I looked onthe Hollys Love Toys site before posting to try to add a link, but searching decal on HLT does not bring up any waterslide paper....

Tractorman810 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 have sort of given up doing my own decals, have the white and clear decal papers here, but they never seem to come out well??? may just be my printer butthey always seem transparent, even on the white backing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Sean - do you have a laser or inkjet printer? Are you using the right setting in the printer setup - usually setting the paper type to something like 'photographic paper' to throw lots of toner onto the decal paper helps.

Tractorman810 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 inkjet malc, and we have tried all the settings , inc top notch photo ,all seem to be see through? may be the paper, but it got to the point I gave up, doing the decals is easy, get the wife to do that, she's got the patience to sit and do all the touching up etc, infact she did one from new for me for some lee trailers I did for someone, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewingale Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks for all your replies, by the sound of it I may get lucky and find it works on my printer or I may not.

malcy_p Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It seems that the laser printer ones work better than the inkjet decals so you might be ok Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcy_p Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Malc, do you mind me asking where you got this Lexion ? John, I found the base model on e-bay about three years ago, there is a thread on here about it... Hang on... http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/topic/15358-claas-lexion-440-evolution/ There ya go! Wish I had bought all the models they had, but only got two and then the seller didn't get any more in. There are some more photos on my web site http://malcp.com/20080808MyClass%20Combines/Index.html#Claas_Lexion_440 Never seen the 'Speed Safely 480' harvester on eBay since, but they are available in Poland and the Czech Republic http://www.koszykzabawek.pl/promocje/archiwum/kombajn-speed-safely-480--z-napedem-357-detail http://www.peknydarek.cz/Hracky/Detsky-kombajn Hope this helps! /malc.

jdc Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for all your replies, by the sound of it I may get lucky and find it works on my printer or I may not. Sean, what software do you use, if you don't mind me asking. I use a program called 'Inkscape' which is free. It is a steep learning curve, but you can resize easily; say you need the decal to be 5mm x 11mm just enter that and the final printout is exactly that. Like Malc I buy paper on Ebay and have never had a problem. I think a good varnish is the secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
