How To Print Decal

Printing a decal is a simple process that you can do with any printer. You don't need to have special skills or equipment, and the entire job should take less than an hour from start to finish. If you're interested in how to print a decal for your car, this article will show you how it's done!

Step by step how to print decal:

Step One: Figure Out What You Want Your Decal to Look Like

Before you can start printing a decal, it's important that you figure out what it will look like. The first thing to do is decide on the size and shape of your decal. Then draw up a design for how you want the final product to look--either by sketching one out by hand with pencil or marker. Keep in mind that most car window decals are designed horizontally across the entire width of the car window.

Step Two: Gather Supplies and Tools

You'll need a printer, paper or cardstock in the size of your decal design (usually available at any office supply store), scissors to cut out your final product, an exacto knife for cutting through thick designs like logos or large serif fonts, some old newspapers to protect surfaces from ink spills. Optional supplies include painter's tape if you want to create a precise border around where your decal will go on the window; spray adhesive if you're putting it onto glass instead of car paint; transfer sheets if you want something other than white-textured vinyl applied over top.

Step Three: Create Your Design in Photoshop or Illustrator

This step is completely optional, but if you want to create your design from scratch instead of using an online decal generator (like this one), it's a good idea to have some graphic design experience. If not, just find an image that represents what you're going for and upload it into either Photoshop or another program like InDesign. You'll need two layers - the background layer and the text layer. The background should be white so you can print black ink on top of it without any problems. The text layer should be whatever color will contrast best with the background color; we recommend choosing dark gray as most printers are calibrated in order to produce sharp blacks when printing light color text.

Tips on how to print decal

• When preparing images or designs for print as stickers, avoid using shadows because they can make things too difficult to see without creating any depth effect.
• Avoid overusing gradients.
• Make sure not only color matters but also font style.

Conclusion

There are many ways to print decal. The best way is by using a printer that has the capability of printing on vinyl or clear adhesive paper. If you don’t have this type of printer, then use your digital camera and laptop to take pictures and upload them onto an image editing program like Photoshop or PaintShop Pro.
