    Im sure anyone who produces their own decals for trains/car/plane etc knows the hassle of trying to get around the problem of printing white.

    Is anyone here able to print white, or know of a friend/company who would be able to print me up some decal sets in white. I need to use a clear background so cannot get around it using white decal paper

    thanks

    Dont know if this is any use to you, but what I normally do for this is print 2 sets of decals. One on clear, one on white decal paper.
    Cut the bits that you want to be white from the white copy. Put the clear one on the model, then use the white bits you cut out and put them over the first decal.
    It can be a bit fiddly but works.
    Somtimes ive touched in the white bits with paint, but obviously this can be too difficult.
    Im sure theres other ways too...

    Thanks for the suggestion, but this wont work for me unfortunately as i need the white parts for go on a transparent background, and its too small to cuts bits in white.
