So having acquired the toner, is it just a case of printing your text/design on decal paper, cutting it out and doing the wet-slide thing?The Ghostwhite cartridge physically replaces the 'K' (blacK) toner cartridge in compatible CMYK color laser printers, including many HP and some others. Set-up decal artwork for 'true black' (CMYK = 0-0-0-100)... not 'rich black' (CMYK = 100-100-100-100) and your black artwork will print as white. I print on TangoPapa decal paper. A presentation on artwork and printing white decals from the 2018 PCR NMRA convention should be available shortly (and belatedly) at: http://www.pcrnmra.org/pcr/clinics/clinics.shtml and discusses artwork preparation and a brief overview of the three most-available white decal digital printing options; ALPS, Ghostwhite, and UV-LED. An example of use on an early P&R HKa hopper is at: https://groups.io/g/EarlyRail/message/46956 with an embedded link to an MRH blog at: https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/34605 ... The decal discussion is in the more recent (5/21/2019) posts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Brennan - TT-west www.tt-west.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
