Does anyone have a recommendation for a color laser printer for making decals? Any ideas about what kind of technical details I should be paying attention to? Thanks,

Make sure the decal paper is compatible with the printer. I ruined a printer once, using decal paper supposedly compatible… |

I used my regular ink-jet printer on decal paper with decent results. But like Bill said – you have to make sure you use the right kind of decal paper.

I wrote a short article about making decals (really for tee shirt logos, but the principals are the same): link . Bottom line: any printer will probably manage, use the right paper, don't flex laser-printed decals. |
