Has anyone used a thermal inkjet and Testor decal film? I have had some success with a regular inkjet but was wondering if the thermal printer would work as well.

I hadn't even heard of thermal Inkjet till you posted this Lou, after some Google investigations it appears the ink is heated which forces the ink out as bubbles, The issue is I suppose how hot does it get and for how long in relation to how delicate the Testors film is. Regards Paul J.

After further research, the cost of the ink is three times that of normal inkjets. The new printer is due this afternoon.
