Where can you get water slide paper that you can print on with a computer printer that just slides off?

Hobby Lobby sells small sheets in the Estes model rocket section. You can buy 8x10 sheets on line all over the web. It's called water slide paper.
I print my logo, spray it with clear lacquer spray bomb, dries in 15 seconds, soak, slide, dab dry, let dry a few hours, cover a few coats with my favorite finish, and it is clear, blends right in and not cloudy as yours appears in your photo, sorry for the critique.

my Staples say they have never heard of paper that will do what I want it do do. I was told that is where to get it, but they don't have anything. Can you give me a UPC # that I can give them?

Staples told me the same thing. I found that if I went to Google, and searched for the words " water slide paper" I got a few hits.

My transfers are clear. They are reflecting the light coming through my garage door as they are shinny and the wood isn't. I will try Hobby Lobby for water slide paper next time. It should be a thinner transfer and not take as much Polly over it to smooth the finish. I though I would try Polly this time as with nitro you have to be careful what your guitar comes in contact with.
Thanks for the info

EBAY! Waterslide transfer paper - clear or white background (white for dark surfaces, clear for pale surfaces), for laser or inkjet printers - fast, sharp and proffessional!

Hi,

I have bought some of the waterslide paper of ebay uk and found it a pain having to spray with several coats of varnish then wait...Also I have found the varnish coat lifts if they are not used quickly.

I now use the waterslide paper from lazertran - inkjet paper you print, wait for the ink to dry, then apply and then do your final lacquer.
The website is http://www.lazertran.com/ and it has a USA and a UK on-line shop (costs $20 for ten 8.5 x 11 inches sheets)

If I'm not mistaken, Walmart sells water slide paper. It's in the toy section with the model kits. It comes with the paper, and a can of waterproofer.
