Found transparent adhesive decals for Injet in Canada!

Well, I've been playing with the idea of decals for some of the pedals I'm going to build but was having a hard time finding anything in town that was transparent and adhesive...

Well here's what I found ...

Staples stocks this : "Xerox Window Decal Film For Inkjet/Bubblejet Printers" ... It helps when you explain what your looking for to a helpful staff member. I usually wonder around a store thinking I could find it myself. Been to Staples 5 or 6 times wondering around before I asked! DOH!

Works very well ... will post pix of the new decal pedal when it's done.

I'm still looking for a similar adhesive ( not water ) decal film that's usable in a laser printer if anyone knows of any.

Sweet! Good ol' staples!

I can't seem to locate it on either Staples' or Xerox' websites. Does it have a model # or product code?

I couldn't finb it online either ... very weird indeed but it's called Xerox Window Decal Film For Inkjet/Bubblejet Printers ....

I'll check when I get home, I'm assuming it has some part or model number.

This is good news! Thank you fellow Canuckian.
Now I have to decide whether I buy a new printer head for my older, but probably better, Canon printer or, for about 20 bucks more, buy a new Canon printer that will likely need replacing in a year.

I use inkjet only media (decals and transparencies) in my Konica-Minolta laser printer with no problems. I always select "heavy stock" setting and keep the temperature down.

re-order # 544P15711

Found some today. NOT cheap! Priced at roughly $13.50 for 5 sheets. One of those things where one saves up a bunch of images that one wants to print, and then you run off a big job.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I'm always on the hunt for better decal systems.

it's funny but now that I've found 'em I may just keep on hand painting them ... I like the look ... maybe a hybrid of the two! ...

I did make decals to stick on my modded pedal and they look great!

How do the edges look when you're done?
