Thanks LuxorV! The thing is that light grey/whitish on a waterslide decal won't print a solid light colour. For example, I've got a black torso, onto which I want to print a decal of a black dinner jacket and white shirt/bow tie/waistcoat (for this little chappie: http://www.freewebs.com/marthajonesfan/Ban...alatta%202.jpg). Light grey wouldn't get the solid white that's needed for that, or would it? Here's a screenshot of the artwork I'd made for it: http://hicksdesign.co.uk/else/images/decal...0310-092151.png Obviously, I could use a white torso, and then try and make the rest black, but I'm not sure that would look good either and there are many instances where I can't use a white brick as the background. Does that make sense?

Hi folks, first post! I've been reading through all the posts I can here, but I'm still not sure I've found the answer. I've only just started Minifig customisation, and I've been trying some different techniques for applying custom artwork onto minifigs. I've tried painting with acrylics, and while I have a pretty steady hand, it just looks wrong. I've found a fine tip permanent marker good for simple lines, but that's all. Tonight I tried using adhesive glossy photo paper, but the black areas just rub straight off, and the paper is too thick (135gsm) From reading here, it seems that waterslide paper through an inkjet printer is the best way to get a proper Lego looking decal, but obviously this doesn't print white areas. I'd love to know what techniques people use to get white onto minifigs. Thanks! Meant to say - I will of course share the decal artwork once it's done (I'm working on a series of Dr Who minifigs, and a Tardis)
