I was searching for a decal film to customize a model I was working on. In the past, when I made my own decals I struggled with getting the right about of clear acrylic to spray over the image to get the thickness and adhesion right. This time I decided to try to find one that didn't need spray. I have access to a color laser copier, and most business supply stores have them. I saw this one was designed for laser printing and required no spray so I picked it up. My first print failed miserably, but when all else fails, read the directions. YOU MUST SET THE MACHINE FOR THICK PAPER BEFORE PRINTING. Once I did that it printed beautifully. When I applied it the decal it laid down like a dream. Very smooth without a lot of work and the adhesion was wonderful as well. Now there are a few things to remember. If you look at my photo you can see I laid this decal over a yellow background, and that some of the yellow shows through. This is transparent film, so it will only really work over a light background. They do have a white background product as well, but with that product you will have to trim the decal very closely or the white will appear on the finished product. Also, and this should be needless to say, unlike the decals that come with a model kit, this is a whole sheet of decal film and it will come off the paper as one sheet, not individual decals. You have to trim around the individual decals closely before applying. The instructions on the Amazon page for this product speak to baking the decal after application. Needless to say that would be disastrous to a plastic model and you should not do that, not would it be necessary. When I finished applying the decals, I sprayed it with a clear coat of lacquer and they laid perfectly. I found this product great for model building and I think you will too.

This waterslide paper is the best i've used, easy to replace, no tearing, no fading or distortion of print or decal. Worth the money

Funciona excelente, aunque es un poco grueso.

If the Sunnyscopa equivalent isn't available, get this one, it's a perfectly suitable substitute and comparable quality. It's not quite as glossy of a surface as the Sunnyscopa, which means that the toner will have less of a tendency to flake or 'dropout' if your laser printer is of an older technology (but you might get some random toner flakes if your printer isn't properly clean). If you have a modern laser printer using LED technology (which is most mid-to-high end printers these days) these two are interchangeable. Very good quality decal paper. Highly recommended. Edited to Add: The paper backing of this decal paper is thinner than the Sunnyscopa, but the urethane membrane (the actual substrate that makes the decal itself) is perhaps slightly thicker - which can make installing the decals easier without as much fuss with peeling, air bubbles and wrinkles as the Sunnyscopa. Conversely, if you want a decal that is thinner, requiring less clear coat to bury the edges, the Sunnyscopa would be your better option. We are talking about a few micrometres difference, though.

I have a laser printer and was super happy that there was water slide decal paper for laser. It worked perfectly and I love these paper to add beautiful designs and art to different pieces!
