Decal-making with HP inkjet printers and Testors decal kit

I had success making the decals I needed last night and they look great. I got some good tips on the Scale Auto forum that made all the difference. I edited my graphics file so that the images I needed would all print near the center of an 8-1/2x11 and then ran a test print on plain paper. Then I took my test print and taped a 2"x4" piece of decal paper over the graphics with removable poster tape. That way the printer could grab on to plain paper for its feed and I only used a small amount of decal paper. And, yes, set your printer for photo paper and best print quality.

Ive got an HP 7210 feeds from the bottom and does the 180 thing ive had one issue you have to take all the paper out of the try make shure your decal paper is completely flat, i went as far as buying new paper when the paper feeds the printer beeps and tells me theres an error and i press ok and it feeds right through.

     I've run into the same problem.  Unfortunately, I don't have an answer yet either.  I wonder if changing the printer settings to run photo paper will help?  Hopefully someone will chime in on this thread....I'd like to be enlightened on it too.
