                        As you might have read on the "DAP Decals Update" topic, we are having trouble with dark background since the prints from a standard inkjet are not opaque. So keep tihs in mind: if you have a light background and/or your decals are dark you'll have no problem otherwise it'll be a pain in the Censored [censored] (bottom).
                        Good luck!

                        Sounds like what you want to do is totally feasable. I have made my own with a Lexmark X125 and had no problems. Should work with yours as well. Good luck.
