The ALPS printer doesn't use wet ink at all, since it isn't an ink jet
printer <g> - thermal transfer printing is a heat & ribbon technology
(goes
on dry :).

I use both the Micromark paper and paper from Tango Papa (from a member
of
the "alpsdecal" mailing list on OneList).  Haven't tried the Walthers
paper
yet.  Anyone who is interested in producing their own decals should
wander
on over to www.onelist.com, review the archives, and join up.
