I was wondering if there was any way of making custom decals from home. I know you can make pretty much anything if you have a computer, but I wanted to know if you needed a special printer to print of heavy duty items, or if there were just a certain setting one could use to make these. I decided to ask my brother in law, as he is a bit of a computer guru.

He told me of some special paper he had used to make some personalized bumper stickers. He informed me that it had not done any damage to his printer, but the stickers were of a high enough quality that they were still adhered to his car. They had withstood rain and snow and carwashes. He suggested that I use that type of paper to print the decals onto.

I found some of the paper and was amazed at how much it cost. But, I decided if it worked, it would be worth it. I decided also to make some window stickers for the house. I knew the kids would love this and it would look good. I tried it all out and it went through my printer just fine. I am glad I have someone so knowledgeable to talk to.
