Can inkjet decal paper be saved after it's been printed on?

Post by Julius Orange »

Had huge issues with my printer and all of the decals that I thought came out perfectly were a mess after an hour of drying. Come to find out that no, despite what MicroMark says, setting my printer to "inkjet transparency" is not appropriate and in fact pumps out way too much ink.

Mind you I have been using inkjet decal paper for a couple of years and because I was only printing in gray before for aztecs, I simply used the basic plain paper "text" setting and they came out perfectly. These new decals were a lot more color intensive and I was trying to get my computer to pump out the match on the screen and although the inkjet transparency setting did that, it proved to be too much.

Is there anyway to get this ink off and save the paper?

I doubt that there is but I thought I'd ask.

Cheers.
