I have made my own decals by taking what I wanted copied onto decal paper at the local copy shop. They used a high quality color copier. I supplied decal paper. Some decals need blue and some white background. Search on the internet using "water slide" "water slide paper" to find the correct type of paper to make your own decals. http://www.beldecal.com/decals.cfm I ordered paper from this company Bel Inc's web site has lots of information. And they also sell paper for ink jet printers (which I chose not to use despite having a high quality ink jet HP2000C). Another site for water slide paper. http://www.tangopapadecals.com/page2.html PS ~ Terry Shellenberger is a great guy. Glenda Bockel in Portland, Oregon area is a professional architectual model builder, retired, who has trained many in Portland area to make nifty models (including Terry and myslef). Hope this helps. Some decals I copied onto the wrong paper background so I painted the building I applied it to with a white wash in a small rectangle barely larger than the decal (much like I noticed some posters were applied many decades ago).
