I tried a black wash but the dull coat did not totally protect the ink and I had to stop.
I did not know there is a special injet ink sealer available. Will have a look for it next time I am in a computer shop.
I will try another approach next time doing roofs
- draw the basic lines thin with the computer as alternative I may try sand paper as Kurt did as a base
- add the final uneven lines by hand
- add weathering etc.
- seal it with dull coat
- produce as much photo copies as need for the roofs.
Reinhard,
Not sure if you will find ink jet ink sealer at a computer store. Its definately necessary when making decals using a inkjet printer to seal the ink to the decal paper. The ink will simply wash off once you place the decal in the water.
