How do you print your decal sheet if the image is white?

How do you guys print your decal sheet if the image to be printed on is white? Thank you

Go and have a look at the articles on Bell of Lost Souls they have a few on there about decals and I am sure one of them mentions about printing off the white decals.

If I understand your question correctly, I would just go ahead and print them on the white paper. White can cover a range of shades/tones/hues and you will most likely be able to see what you have printed. If that\'s a concern though, you may put a box around the group of images so they are easier to find or as War Griffion said, simply use an off white or VERY light grey. Sometimes if you use something that is off white just a tad and put it on something that has really strong colors or drastic contrast, the \'off-ness\' simply disappears.

Yeah print light grey and paint over in white once on the model.

Thank you for the response guys. I would try to do what you\'ve suggested

I paint the area of the figure where I want white to show. Obviously this limits my design but it\'s better than using white decal paper and cutting off the whites!

What do you mean exactly about this sir?

My guess would be he uses transparent decal paper rather than white paper, and first paints the area white on the figure where the decal will go, then puts the printed-on-transparent decal over that.
