They are great decals but are only half the size of a normal piece of paper. I went thru them way too quickly because of that. They are good though don't get me wrong just too small. Ohh and you need to set them after printing with the setting solution or a good finishing spray cause being its inkjet if you get it wet you'll have runny decals.

Very good product. In fact this is my second time to order this product. Very easy to use. I use it with my Epson R250 Inkjet printer, and so far, I have no complaints. Actually, I don't use it on toys. I use it on all kinds of surfaces - mugs, plaster, plastic, wood, painted surfaces, metal surfaces - as long as it's smooth and glossy.

I recommend this product to anyone who is into decals.

"Decal refill pack for the 9198 Custom Decal System. Refill pack includes six clear 5.5" X 8.5" decal sheets." Note that these are only 5.5" long, not the typical 11" sheet. There are only 6. If comparing to 8.5" x 11" sheets, there are really only 3 sheets here. That is a high price, when there are suppliers online that ship 20 8.5" by 11" plus shipping for $27.

I used these sheets to print off a decal for an old Civil Defense helmet. I found the decals to be of adequate thinness to conform to the curves of the helmet. One coat of Krylon clear was enough to seal the decal without making it too thick, but three coats was definitely too much. The decal responded well to Testors decal setting solution, but I was still able to adjust the position after application. The transparent areas of my decal did not silver.

My one recommendation would be to print using your printer's high-quality setting instead of Normal as the instructions recommend. The evenness of the ink and accuracy and richness of color will be tremendously improved.

This product produced a clear and crisp decal using my DeskJet Printer, but it would not stick without lifting around the corners. Ultimately, I had to use Aleene's Tacky Glue (sold at craft stores) to glue the decal down. Under the circumstances, I could have just as well printed the decal on paper and glued it down. I use the decals to make signs for HO model railroad buildings. I can't imagine using this product for military models.

Very brittle. Not the best quality transfer paper. Customer support is a joke. A form email is all you get when you complain.

Picked this up to make some custom Lego mini figs for my nephews.

Worked great!
