and he notes - Water slide decals printed on most computer printers (inkjets in particular) are done with water based inks. When water hits any inkjet printed surface, the ink runs. I found this out when one of my cats walked over some video artwork and left little runny footprints!
Since inkjets use water based pigments, the decals must be coated with lacquer after printing. You might try running them on a Xerox color printer as an alternative, but lacquer works just as well. Most decal parer kits come with a can of lacquer but Krylon is cheaper.
