Hey,

So I have encountered a problem on a recent project of mine. I am printing decals to use on a rocket next weekend, and all was going well until I realized I needed to print white. The rocket is a black brant 2 (like http://www.mo-na-ko.net/images/RaketaBlackBrant-2.jpg). I was using printed decals on some Hammerfall Clear Window Decals I picked up to put images over the white parts.

But when it came printing the exact same images just in white to go over the black parts of the rocket was the problem. I inverted the colors to make a black background for the images only to realize that printing this would print 'clear' onto the clear decals, thus leaving black still showing underneath and no white at all.

I was hoping someone here knows any way at all to print white, whether there might be a special ink cartridge you can buy or anything like that?

Any help appreciated,
EldarZach

Print on label paper (sticky back paper)
It won't be permanent like the decals but should last thru an afternoon activity and look fine.

You will either have to print it on white stock or take it to a professional printer that has that ability (it won't be cheap). You can't buy white ink.

Can you first paint areas of the rocket with white paint such that the clear on black decal will mask the white paint that you do not want showing?

Yea thanks for the suggestions everyone, guess it worked great without the pretty painting but I guess I'm gonna have to re-spay the area white.

Thanks for help
