Hi John,
Thanks for confirming that. My order of decal paper arrived here about a hour ago so I can get started later today.
I guessed as much that there would be a trade-off between the transparency of the background versus the opaqueness of the dark colours. To get around the problem I was thinking of layering the decals. I intend to just print the white legend detail on the paper that has the varnish applied to it and the darker detail on standard decal paper that already has a clear background.
Anyhow we'll see how it goes!
Regards
