Hi everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone can help me
I am wanting to improve the look of my customs by using waterslide decals for logos, tattoos etc. I am not sure how to create the decals themselves and what paper is best to use? How can I make the images the correct size to scale with hasbro's and how can I get them into decal form instead of just normal prints (which is what I have been using)
Any help would be much appreciated.

You can get waterslide decal paper from ebay that you just use in your home printer. Getting the images is the hard part, and I've been struggling with that myself...

It's a straightforward process, look up tutorials for the parts you get stuck on.
1] Learn to use image editing software. You just need to know the basics, tons of tutorials online for how to do things. 2] Buy water slide decal paper, check if it's the right type for your printer (inkjet, laser, etc.). 3] Find the images you want and resize them as needed. Simply measure what size it needs to be on the figure and plug the numbers into the editing software. 4] Print, apply, and you're done.
Alternately, talk to your local print shop and see if they'll do this small job for you. That's what I do when I need to print stickers because my home printer has bad print resolution.
