My Rudge project got sidetracked by other bike projects this summer. Plus I blew my bike budget on a 69 Sprite that I just NEEDED to have. So, I haven't even stripped the paint off the Rudge yet. In the old days, I used an inkjet printer and the varnish transfer method for graphics on my wooden projects. When I went online to find duplex paper, I found that it is no longer being manufactured. I figured I'd have to use waterslide paper for my Rudge. I turned to the message boards and found custom guitar makers that had beautiful waterslide decals on their guitars. According to them, inklet printers can be problematic for waterslides and they all recommended laser printers with special waterslide paper meant for laser printers. There's a graphics place in town that would print the decals for me, but my Rudge project will have to wait till next summer. So that's the story. If the Rudge decals turn out to be half as good as the ones I saw on the guitars, I'll be very happy, but I haven't tried them yet
