I think that this subject has been covered before, but regardless of my searches I can find nix.
I was asking about water slide inkjet printable paper to use in a wood work application.
The intention is to copy cottage art onto the paper and transfer it onto timber. Say onto little boxes or potato boxes or stuff like that.
Water slide decal paper is available through a company in Texas USA but an email resulted in no reply. Epson US do have products of this kind, however Epson Aus. will not admit that it exists...Why?
I noticed at Hardly Normal that there is a transperancy, T shirt print paper available from Kodak at ? $35.00 per pack of 25, but I dont think that would do the trick.
If you know of any posts dealing with this concept, or you know of any poduct that would suffice ...Please.
I do have a lady friend that will do some wondreful paintings direct onto the wood work and only charge me $5.00 per article. But it is difficult to get her to do the work at the same rate of my promise to deliver.
I would copy her work, if she agreed and transfer the copy at a cheaper rate than an original.
I bought Cindy Lou a squeeky toy yesterday, and guess when she learned to squeek it? That's right, 2.30Am on the big bed. Ya just gotta luv 'em.

Peter,
I've made decals before (long time ago) and there's abit more involved than just printing your image onto the paper. The paper is a release backing for the finished decal. The decal comprises your printed image over which is printed a plastic coating which becomes the "skin" of the decal. I'm pretty certain you won't get an inkjet printer cartidge with this decal plastic in the tank. We screenprinted it on and I suspect that this is probably the best method of application.

I just got some inkjet decal paper from Ebay.com.au with local postage costs.

Thanks Bob. I saw water slide decal paper, but it is only lazer printable. Could not bring up inkjet decal paper on eBay.

Most of the paper suppliers on the web Au are for wholesale only, and so far, none have owned up to being a supplier of this medium anyway
Will keep trying.

There's a mob here in Adelaide that make decals of all sorts. They may be able to provide paper, I don't know. If you want their name, I can find it out, by talking to a friend of a friend so to speak. Give a yell if you're interested.
