The program he talks about in the guide doesn't work on Macs but GIMP works on Macs. Thats what I have started to use for my comics.

Does it say 'laser decals' on the back or in the order description?

If so, use laser printers. If not, inkjet. It's really that simple. Wink

Based on the balance of probability, I'd say use Laserjet. The decal paper people do their stuff for a hobby and a business, and so they probably have a more expert opinion...

I learned form a frined, that water-slide decals are hard, but what he does is:
Puts them in water, lets them dry, applies them to the minifigure, then sprays them.

Customizer, I dont think that would work too well with curved pieces like the helmet and arms. It might work great for the body though.

Sounds good to me. I might give it a go myself, as it could solve some problems with my current method and make the method more exact.

Let them dry? They're a lot more manueverable when they're wet, which is what I do. I let them dry after they've been applied to the figure. Is that a bad thing?

Is there a better or easier way to do this? Do'h!

you know... I dont know if im doing something write or wrong but the 2 decals i applied i didnt have air bubbles... do you apply the decals on a dry surface or wet? I have this liquid that makes it a little easier to apply.

That sounds like decal softener or decal fix. Apparently using that does make it easier to apply, and make it look better; you're right.
