Laserjet decal paper

Laserjet decal paper is pretty commonly available. Try these:

Can't give you any specifics, since my printer is an inkjet.

Yes.  I keep a supply of both laser and inkjet paper.  I have a black and white laser, which I ordinarily use to print email and various text messages, since toner is much cheaper than inkjet ink.

However, I find the quality of the laser decals not quite as good as the inkjet ones, so I may not buy any more laser paper.  I may stick with inkjet decals in the future, though the laser decals have worked in the past. Of course, I can only do black decals, but those work for registration numbers and many other things.  But keeping one type of paper will simplify things, and the laser paper I buy is not substantially cheaper than the inkjet stuff. I buy both from Micro Mark.

Thanks for the info guys.

So, looks like you wait and print a batch of decals at once or pretty much waste most of a sheet to print one decal.

The main problem I have with inkjets is the ink drying/clogging if it sits for to long without being used. Printing decals is not something I would be doing very often.

You can print one decal or a whole sheet, or anything in between.

If you keep the 'feed' end of your sheet intact, you can run the sheet through any number of times---just make sure your print area corresponds to a part of the sheet where there is still a white/blank region left. If you know you're going to reuse the decal paper sheet, print out your first images at the bottom, and move up as you go; that will leave the printer a larger, stable area to grab when it starts feeding.

You can also run a 'test' print on a regular sheet of paper, then cut a bit of decal paper that matches and tape it lightly to the sheet, then run it through again to make your decal. (If it's a large image, I'll print the test sheet on 'draft' setting to save ink. Just make sure to reset it before you run the actual decal.)
