Couldn't you just buy the paper and use photoshop?

yes you can, I did something similar, bought the decal paper and used Illustrator (vector graphics are more crisp than rastor)

So, uh, you willing to share your vector art, Cabo? I just got this waterslide decal kit, "SuperCal". I'm kinda skeptical. What paper type do you tell your inkjet printer you're using? Gloss photo paper? Does the spray really work to seal the ink? I tried one sheet the other day, and within a few hours the images totally bled and got all blurry. I hadn't sealed it yet, and it was kinda humid, so hopefully next time it works better.

P.S. I'm willing to trade my decal art, though it's not vector, it's 800dpi at 100%.

Yeash they suck. I just thought it'd be easier since I'm not a PS expert. but yeah its 9.95 to have the full ver software.

Even still for the novie computer users that don;t know/own PS 7 or whatever it would be worth 15$/

I don't have anything worth a crap, beside the bitPimps logo.
I also printed single sheet inkjet (no special settings, just printed at 600 dpi like normal)
I think laser is much, much, better than inkjet and bubblejet, there's no "dots" to see, and you will see them with inkjet depending on the graphic and surface its going on.
when I did my inkjet, I clear coated the sheet after it was dried. If you do use inkjet or bubblejet, definitaly coat it or it's gonna bleed when you put the water slide decal in the water.
laser doesn't seem to bleed, at all and doesn't seem to need a protective coating, problem there is color laser printers can get pretty pricey.

I actually have a color laser down at my office, maybe I'll give it a try again. I tried once and the paper didn't make it through and got a little mangled, I think because it was an odd size. At $3.00 a piece, I didn't keep trying and thought I would try my new inkjet. It's a Canon i9100, pretty sweet. But that shit was still wet like 6 hours later, and then just started getting all fuzzy. I hadn't sprayed it yet, but didn't bother after it was already ruined.

And, I would love a vector version of the bitpimps logo. Can ya email it to me?

I'm on a mac, you are too, right?

Here are a couple of sheets I made up with a few logos.

The quality isn't the greatest, but you guys with your crazy programs can probably fix that real easy.
