HOW TO… PART 5 ‘DIY DECAL DESIGN & PRINTING’

Best decal tutorial I've seen!! Sure wish there was an affordable solution for printing white.

That was incredibly in depth and well thought out!

Great!

Bro, this is the best one decal video i found, I've been trying to find a useful decal diy video for Warhammer 40k decals but wasn't able to find something close until now.

Your how to series is awesome Sera, this one however is my favorite, crammed with useful information. Thankyou !

Tip: if you only needto print a small decal, just print the design on plain A4 paper. Let it dry. Cut out a small square of decal paper, just a bit larger then the decal size. Glue the decal paper right over the decal you printed on the plain A4 sheet. Now insert this A4 into your printer ( probably the manual feed on the back of it) and print your decal. Works fine for me, using a simple Canon inktjet.

That's really awesome and most comprehensive tutorial. Many thanks!!!!

fantastic as always! Being an American, We say it dē-kal with a hard "E" like people and a soft "a" like in mad. I've not heard it pronounced like you do so I looked it up, and apparently it's also the common way for Canadian people to say it. Just an interesting deep dive I went into because of this video.

Thank you, fantastic video.

Thank you for you video! Great work on sharing knowledge 😊

Fantastic, this comprehensive guide could and should become the go to video for creating and applying your own decals..

Great presentation. Far more helpful and informative than any of the other videos I've seen so far. I'm a sculptor and need to print my own decals for relatively small scale figures that I cast from their original/prototype. They need to be consistent. Most videos I have viewed on the topic were next to fecking useless. Yours hit on all the important points; thanks 👍.

Excellent tutorial ... Thanks a bunch!

Gracias por tan completa información; en mi caso tengo unas hojas de Expert Choice pero hace ya muchos años que las tuve guardadas y en estos días que las usé con dos observaciones: una es la impresión de inkjet quedó con pequeños puntos blancos pero vistos con lente de aumento o no dejan impresión de calidad, y dos, cuando las puse en la locomotora los bordes se arrollaron hacia dentro no más al usar el Micro set "azul" minuto 12:11 y no hubo forma de devolverles a su forma extendida o normal. Estoy varado y sí, las protegí con laca transparente como el ejemplo suyo despues de imprimir. Sugerencias bienvenidas. Le felicito.

This is what I call a tutorial!

Enjoyed it so much I had another viewing!

Thanks for this wonderful video as always ☺️ (and especialy for Gally from battle angel alita) This will be very helpful for the company I work

Very informative

Very well done, but I had great results using a copy shop´s huge (and very expensive) Laserprinter. Vectors or pixel it does give the sharpest results - yet the non-printing-white issue remains. Thank you for sharing - looking foward to your next episode.

Hi Sera, another awesome tutorial. It's the best one i've seen, thanks for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge. I like to paint my markings on where ever possible and have invested in a stencil cutter which will do most of what i want but sometimes a homemade decal would be the better option so found this very useful for when i need to do that.
