Anyone know of a good supplier of waterslide decals in the UK

I used to get them from ebay from the seller corsamb and they have all worked well for me but I dunno if he has changed his supplier or something but the quality is poor now.

Just wondering if any of the UK forum members can recommend a good source for transparent decals?

If all else fails, Banzai's got them, although if memory serves, the pricing's a little out to lunch.

Wow, the perspex plaques are a great idea. Dont know where i could get them laser cut. Doing them by hand for me is a no no.  Ive made a lightplate for an enclosure succesfully but took literally ages cutting and filing it

I used to use transparent adhesive paper from CCP (and tried their waterslides). But I've switched suppliers now to Photo Paper Direct (http://www.photopaperdirect.com/products/A4-Self-Adhesive-Clear-Sticker-Paper-Sheet.html) as they're a hell of a lot cheaper and I prefer the paper.

There's a tutorial on my site that covers using the adhesive stuff as it's a little different to water slide to get the best out of it.
