Once more, about this inkjet decal printing...
I'm using Expert's Choice paper, which I got from my favorite hobby shop. The printer is an HP deskjet 640C. I've had good luck with resolution, but when I dunk the decals in the water, the bloody ink slides right out from under the topcoat. I tried the Micro decal film, clear laquer, and Future before it dawned on me that the water damage was coming from the PAPER side, not from the INK side! D'OH!
A buddy at the hobby shop said laser jet printers are supposed to be more waterproof, but I haven't been able to confirm that.
Any suggestions?
Oh, yeah: It's a B-17F-95-BO from the 390th BG. I'm building it for the grandson of the bombradier. The Academy kit needs considerable updating; I should have started with a G and converted backwards! The Academy kit has also been quite disappointing as to fit and flash.
