Ink jet ink stays wet for DAYS. You should spray the bonder within the recomended time. It combines with the ink and as the solvents evaporate it causes the ink to dry. WALTHERS DECAL PAPER IS THE LAST PAPER I'D USE! I like Micro scale. Micromark has a nice decal paper too. Print the lettering in "photo" or "Best quality". Ken
