Model Railroading > Microscale decal film

what size format is the microscale blank decal sheets? I am looking for the correct paper size setting for my design and printer settings.

I believe they are standard 8-1/2" X 11" sheets.

Nope, they are smaller than 8.5X11.

You might check with Micro Scale to see if their papers are compatible with inkjet (water) or laser (heat) printers.

Trim Film is 5-1/4" x 8-3/8" with an effective color area of 4-3/4" x 7-5/8". I just measured a piece I had on hand. I'd expect the decal film to be similar.
Their web site says that clear trim film is 4-1/2" x 7-1/2".

Decal sheets are 8.5x11, part#'s are 20 and 21. They come clear or white and are a different size then the trim film sold.

The Microscale 8-1/2 x 11 sheets are part number 200 (at Walthers, 460-200), the clear trim film sheets (4-1/2 x 7) are 460-100.
It appears Kadee also makes clear 8-1/2 x 11 sheets: 380-3099 is a single and 380-3098 is a 5-pack.

Wonder if it will work with an ALPS printer? I bought a pack of what was supposed to be laser decal paper from Micro Mark and it turned out to be inkjet. Didn't find it out until it had glued itself to the drum of the printer.
I've been using Tango Papa (or Papa Tango} since. good stuff.

I made a custom 5X7 inch print profile. However, my inkjet will not print on the film, it lays the ink on too thick even on the lowest quality setting.
