Quoted from iwantansi:

Has anyone tried successfully to do this with a color laser printer?
I have the laser waterslide decals and cannot get them to print without the printer making some type of artifact on the print(it doesnt print artifacts when printing on normal paper)

Most likely an incorrect printer setting, for that particular type of paper.

I print a lot of heavier stock paper, though I've never tried any of the decal paper.

One thing I have found is with heavier or thicker stock paper, is that you need to slow down the speed at which the paper moves over the fusing drum. On my laser printers, I simply choose heavy stock in the print menu that pops up.

If I don't, I get smearing, where the toner doesn't stick initially, gets left on the fuser, and then fused on another part of the paper.
