There are also several flavors of water slide decal paper you can 
print on with a laser printer, all nicely spaced and aligned in the 
font style and point size of your whim of the moment. trim to size, 
soak, and slide into place. Topcoat with lacquer when dry. You can 
use the stuff to make any custom logo or decoration you like, within 
reason, without the cost of custom decal work. The down side is it's 
not a rub on transfer, so the shadow of the film that holds it 
together is visible like the old style water slide decals.
