transparant background with decal print

does somebody knows how to make a transparant background for some decals i would like to printon decal paper.
i have photoshop

Umm... you can make GIF files have transparent backgrounds (see attachment), but that's not your problem. Besides, the compression of the file already being saved as a JPEG, leaves fragments that interfere with the transparent area...

Your printer won't "print" the white space. If you print your graphic on white decal sheet, you'll get the ink on a white background. If you print your graphic on clear decal sheet, you'll get the ink on a clear background, which is what you want, right?

i print the decals on a clear decal sheet, but how did you make the GIF transparant?

if the paper is clear then you just delete the pixels you want transparent and it should make it a grey and white checkerboard to tell you its transparent... and if it is just white or some other color when you delete something then hit CTRL+A then CTRL+C then CTRL+N make sure that the background is transparent and hit ok and push CTRL+V...

But if you must know, I did it with MSPaint. (I don't even have photoshop! :o)

sorrie i must have known that a printer can't print white.....
i always use photoshop because i'm also in to pictuning :D

maybe I amwrong, but I don't think your printer can print white, so no need to work with trasparency !

shit, i printed this one about 2 hours ago and it's still not dry

do you have to have a laser printer to do that or can a normal ink jet do it im confused. i have the decal sheet and eveything i just dont know if i want to risk doing it on mine.:confused: :eek: :help: plus if u dont mind me asking where did u find all those words at to do it?????? please any info would be much appreciated.:D

it is still not dry !!! :( i printed with a inkt jet printer about 15 hours ago.
but on the manual was written that you could use a inkt jet printer

You have to spray a scealant on your sheet. I know that much.

is that the same as a clear coat?

if it's not dry after all this time, it's not Inkjet Paper.. it's Laser..

try giving 2 coat of Liquid Decal FIlm (or whereever they call it)

What kind of paper do you use ?

it's decal paper, but can i spray clear coat?
