You don't need the 'Testor's decal maker' - clear, or white, decals sheet can be bought, in separate sheets, or packs, from many outlets, both for inkjet and laser printers. I get mine direct from a computer papers supplier, at a fraction of the cost, for the same stuff, from modelling outlets.
Just select a relevant typeface from the fonts on your computer, select a 'point' size and colour, and try a trial print onto ordinary printer paper first. If the 'point' size needs to be reduced or enlarged, do this by using the computer to compress as required.
Once happy, print out a number of required items onto clear decal sheet, allow the ink to dry for at least 30 minutes, spray with clear acrylic gloss varnish, and allow to dry for around 2 hours minimum, preferably 12 hours. Job done! Here's an example done straight on the forum, without adjustment -G-ATDF
