I started decal-making on a color laser. Not a good idea. Ink jet is the only way to go. Laser printing lays down a closely-knit set of granules that tend to disintegrate when cut for application. I make all of my decals on a HP ink jet. I coat the sheets with at least two layers of Krylon clear prior to cutting them out. Works great.
