Laser print decal paper

I'm looking to print up some number boards for a few old school Kato engines and, reading through the archives, saw that some of you use decal paper that can be run through a laser printer. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a few sheets? I looked online and wasn't sure that what came up is what I need. Thanks.

Any decal paper which is not designed for ink jet printers will work with laser printer.  Companies such as Microscale, Bare Metal Foil, Tangopapa, Micro Mark, Bel Decal and many others sell such decal paper.  I like Bare Metal Foil paper (I use it in my Alps printer, but it is sold as a laser printer paper).

I always ordered from decalpaper.com.  If you trust yourself with decals, put a note on your order for the thinnest paper possible for the best disappearing edges.  It is a little more difficult to work with.

Great, thanks for the info. Strange how those results don't come up on a google search  :?
