What I&#8217;m after is something more similar to the original &#8211; a transfer decal.<\/p>\n<p>Things are never easy though and with the TAF apron the requirement is for a white decal on a black background, so printing on a transparent transfer foil (like a tattoo foil) isn&#8217;t an option as printers (both inkjet and laser) can&#8217;t print white ink. An option could be printing onto white transfer paper, but once again this isn&#8217;t ideal, as the decal would need to be carefully cut out and may leave a white border at the edges.<\/p>\n<p>To look for an alternative, I&#8217;ve already trawled the internet and found the potentially ideal solution: PulsarProFx sell a dry transfer kit (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pulsarprofx.com\/decalpro\/Vertical\/1_MENU\/1a_Home\/Graphic_Artists\/Graphic_Artists.html\" target=\"_blank\">DecalProFx<\/a>) which can produce very thin decals &#8211; even in white &#8211; using nothing more than a laser printer and special transfer paper. The process is complex but the results look good.<\/p>\n<p>I purchased a DecalProFx kit a while back and have tried over the last few moths to produce the decals for the TAF apron. However to date I haven&#8217;t succeeded, unfortunately, even with the help of the manufacturer. I will continue to persevere with this, but am beginning to lose confidence in this method as a viable solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I now have two aprons which, in order to convert to a proper TAF apron, require me to paint, apply decals and finally apply a clear coating.
